    For me ist also CAS
    Nevertheless I am looking forward to the new edition of FGTR. Maybe it will change my view on that album a bit

    Yes - I would have thought the people responsible (whoever was advising them in management) should have known that the scale of what they were attempting wasn't feasible. I don't know enough about how those things work to know how big a failure this…

    sadly they didn't have a producer who could help them morph those songs, which felt incomplete in the final release, into a well-baked album.

    the producer they had on CAS is the same one who did the drums on WCD album sound like tin cans, and also the…

    Phil was the glue that basically Reigned in Tony and made sense of Mike and Tony's work and made it all work.

    Without that, Tony and Mike left on their own were always in trouble and didn't even wait until they found a 3rd person or a drummer (having told…

    I think this, 100%. It was, in hindsight, silly to try to book a stadium tour of Europe and the US, and then have to downsize to arenas in Europe and cancel the US altogether. There was nothing wrong with what they had - most bands would kill to fill…
