For instance, I couldn't see James ever fitting the lyrics to She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach to the music for Postcards. Does this mean they were as constrained making JFLP by the tone as they were making PFAYM by their determination for commercial success?

Yes I think so, & I think it is out of respect for Richey that it doesn't sound forced. They obviously did not (sonically) want to do JFPL 2, that says something...I think.
Have to admit it's not without a slight disappointment that I suggest that.
EDIT: i see I spent so long thinking about that, that there have been other comments!
