I posted this in another thread, but think it's deserving of its own....
Late 2006, after releasing a new album, only touring Australia and Japan. Then taking the first six months of 2007 off, beginning again, shaping a new sound and writing 35 songs in 9 months, finally recording those songs in 3 months, producing them for three months and having the album of 12 of 35 out by Thanksgiving 2008 with a new sound. Following that, they tour North America, Australia and Japan from March-July. Four singles from that album produce 6 new b-sides. Therefore 18 of the 35 songs written have been used. They take three months off to produce 11 more from the remaining 18 songs into an album and sit on it until January of 2009 when they release it and tour Europe and then North America again. During this time they release 4 more singles and use up 6 of the final seven songs as b-sides and the seventh as a single of its own for the movie X-Men 4. And THEN they take a year off and we have 3 and a half albums of material for the best of 2000-2010, plus one single on its own to be on it, and 18 b-sides to chose from (not counting remixes). Can I get Paul McGuiness's phone number? I'm sure everyone on here would be ecstatic if that came true. I'm also sure there would be a lot of bickering on here. People would say, "That sounds too 80s!" or "That sounds to 90s!" or "That sounds too 00's!" or "That's too rocking!" But maybe they should just retired now so you all won't be disappointed in their new music as you seem to be in all your arguments.
