Because (unless you're AC/DC) it gets boring to write and record the same album 35 times in a row?


Yeah, the guitar and keyboard leads and "show-offery" took a bit of a back seat this time, but I think lyrically and vocally, Are You Dead Yet? is a cut above anything CoB has done before and I can tell you for certain that as far as the rhythm section is concerned, it is BY FAR the most interesting album they've done to date.


I once read something that Billy Joel said that I think sums my feelings up nicely; it went something to the effect of "if you're only going to do one kind of song, then what's the point?"
