Unreleased material?
There was a lot of comment when Meat covered IACBTMN, and I don't think an album of covers would go down too well.
There is a belief that Jim has tons of unreleased material, that it's all A material, and one day it will be let loose on the world.
Although there might be some stuff, I think the ammount and quality is exagerated by hopeful fans.
For one, Jim is famous for recycling lyrics and pieces of music. Who knows how much of this unreleased material we've heard in other songs?
Also, if Jim had a wealth of unreleased material, why would he recycle so much the material that
has been released?
I don't doubt that there are some undiscovered jems, but wheather it's enough for an album without any additional work from Jim (who, to my knowledge, has done no work for a long time now) is up for debate.
If Meat and Jim were to work together (which i'd be VERY happy about) i'd rather that it wasn't a Bat album. The trillogy is complete. Once you go past the magic number 3 there is no logical place to stop. If there is no place to stop then the work is never finished. Think of it like a race where the runners keep running and running and running but nobody ever crosses the finish line. They just keep running until they get too tired and stop running and it all ends a bit "meh"
