Re: No Jim?? disaster!!
I believe the reason Jim is not involved on the new album (now called Testify) is simply because he is busy with other things, as David mentioned above. Jim certainly doesn't just work with Meat whenever Meat wants. Jim's non-involvement is not disaster.
It is my opinion, as it is others, that the songs written by Jim are better than those written by other writers. But it's not that the other writers are bad, it's just that Jim is soooooo good, in a league of his own, and not even comparable to most others (my opinion again). Meat certainly has has non-Jim success (Welcome To The Neighbourhood especially), and he often says that Testify is great too. In fact, he once said that Testify will be the best album since Bat 1.
Just have more faith in it. I'm sure everything will work out great.
