Agree!
But, for some reason I known I'll listen for a new album if there's a new release. I denied myself to listen to Behind The Mask or Time because of the "broken chain", but I heard them recently and discovered they're nice albums.
This time is quite different I guess...

BTM and Time are decent albums. Not great, though. I think they're both as good as SYW.

A GREAT album holds together as a cohesive unit. The running order works. The songs even fit together as a unit. You want to listen to it's entirety in one sitting.

I think White through Tango do that. Nothing forward is a great album. Good, but not great.

In fact, I'm really loving Time, and I have no doubts is a good album. As you say, good but not great!

I read on the Rolling Stone something like "you want to see FM musicians playing FM songs, and you want to hear Traffic musicians playing Traffic songs". This was about Dave Mason's days on the band. Maybe the same applies to the present band. I wouldn't go to a FM show to hear songs from another bands...But it's what's happening now!

I’d give you that up until “Tusk.”

As for BTM and Time, I think THIS says it all...

Seeds We Sow and Buckingham McVie - and Lindsey's solo Anthology, especially the first disc (Lindsey finally graduated the art of sequencing which has been sorely missing on some of his albums, as well as on SYW) are such albums for me.

even White Album and Rumours are not for me. they are like Greatest Hits albums, but i still skip some songs.
