Was listening to KYE (+B-sides) today and shocked myself by enjoying Wattsville Blues far more than usual. Though I'd still like it more if the vocal had been all JDB.
In fairness to Nicky, I really like his vocals on Locust Valley though.

Just listening to GT and it is astounding to remember that New Art Riot, GT, GATS, THB and EMG were all released within a period of six years, yet with such utterly divergent musical styles and aesthetics, and outstanding creativity.
To put this period and its prolific shifts in context: six years ago, the band released National Treasures, and we were just finished with PFAYM.

That's very much how it works - it can lose a band a larger fanbase in the short term, but gains them respect over a longer period.

In case anyone wondered, here's the time between each studio album:
GT > GATS: 498 days GATS> THB: 435 THB > EMG: 631 EMG > TIMTTMY: 848 TIMTTMY > KYE: 918 KYE > L: 1324 L > SATT: 918 SATT > JFPL: 743 JFPL > PFAYM: 491 PFAYM > RTF: 1093 RTF > F: 294 F > RIF: 1369 Between KYE and Lifeblood there was FD and LT, of course, and GSTM between Lifeblood and SATT, so RIF really is by far the longest we've ever had to wait for new original material.

The chart stats website entry for the band ends in 2011 with National Treasures, while the Official Chart Website ends in 2014.
I loved the mathematics of how many weeks. But if GSTM is being counted does their World Cup song break the silence between releases? Probably not. I liked the stats anyway. They stopped making Guinness books due to lack of interest some years ago.

*Specifically, b-sides intended for unreleased Lifeblood singles. I concede a weakness for statistics. Apologies.
