Well, obviously. But, then, they went into "Mirage" knowing who was actually in the band AND it was their fourth album together, and the third with the same co-producers. They had the working releationship, and were sensitized to each other's stylings. With "Time," the band was having a bit of an identity crisis. The band began recording as one collective, then toured as another collective, and finally released a product as yet another collective. Throughout this rather odd process, many things that weren't planned began to devolp within the band. So what started out as one concept turned into another and yet another, and eventually became three or four different concepts thrown together at once under one moniker.
