I actually don't think SWS (At least the live versions) and Stevie's IYD stuff are that far away from each other on the spectrum... they certainly seem to be on similar pages more than their previous solo stuff has. Hopefully that will crossover to a mac album and we can get a nice cohesive sound.

I agree with everything you said.

In other news, I predict it will be EP-Tour-Maybe album? Bands such as Roxy Music have even said they may not do another album again, but a single or EP is not unrealistic. I just wish someone could explain the whole EP thing. Example: There's a singer I really like who released a four track ep in december. a 6 track ep in like may. and like two singles in between. um... why didn't she just release a 12 track album in may? Like: what is the business reasons for such a thing (actually i think she used money from the first ep to pay for the second one).

In MY opinion, EPs are best released as a theme work (e.g., Crackers International was Christmasy, ABBA-esque was abba covers, Mini was all car-themed songs, etc). Wonder what theme the Mac would devise?
