In fairness to alot of these bands, it must really, really be hard to come up with all new ideas... think of all the things straining against your creativity originality.... overfamiliarity with your bandmates, a legacy and a standard to maintain, commercial pressures from yourself, your record company, the need to pay for the merc, the jag and the mansion and the wife's obsession with gold jewellery...
All this stacks up against your orginality, free thinking and in short your creativity.... ultimately the best solution for some is to give in, make the cookie cutter album, satisfy the fans, fill the coffers and give yourself less headaches...
... but whats that gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach... yes, you used to make better stuff and you know it...
So you see, there's quite the dilemma!
