Well, they recorded Say You Will for 6 months while Stevie was out touring behind Trouble In Shangri La! It'd be my dream for the band to record an album in the 6 months between when Stevie and Lindsey's solo tours end later this summer, and when the band strikes out on it's new tour next year. I still can't fathom why it takes this band 12-18 months to record new music. Especially as many completed songs as Stevie and Lindsey no doubt have in their vaults, not to mention the scores of partially fleshed out songs that no doubt exist. I know it'd never happen, but recording in 1/3 the time than SYW took could equal a much, much better album. Leave some edges jagged, don't overwork the initial product too much.
