I think we know that nothing on the production of Bat3 was down to Jim, but that's hardly the point.
There will be some who want a complete Steinman album, written and produced by him, with perfect sound .. another BOOH. And this is 2012 and it won't happen.
This topic shows what people who post on the UK forum want. To extrapolate that to all that follow him would be speculation. BOOH caught a moment in its time. That level of sales is extraordinary and would never be repeated imo. His recent albums have sold well, and well enough that he is still able to bring out new albums .. and on disc. At every show I've been to in recent years, those in the audience love to hear the songs from that early era, but also show every evidence of enjoying his newer work.
I think Meat, who is working on his new album, will do what he wants to do artistically with Paul and a great band. Some will love it, some won't. But imo the thing that keeps him still working after so many years with undiminished energy, drive, creativity and enthusiasm is .. in his words, because he still has something to say, and to explore and to give. The only "should" in my view would be that he continues to do this as long as he feels that way.
