I know Ive argued about this point with some peeps here before, and this may be I think an unpopular view, but I feel compelled to say again:
Why are people giving Adam such a hard time about the timing of the album?
Are these people in a creative field themselves?
Do they realise that creativity takes the time it takes?
I know movie directors brilliant ones who produce a film every ten years (eg Terence Mallik).
Or writers that produce a book every twenty years (forget te name - some pulitzer prize winner).
Is creating an album more like ordering made to measure carpet or is it like a work of art?
And if its the latter, and it gets delayed for a number of reasons, whats the big deal from a fan's perspective?
Sure its no fun, but why the pressure on the artist? why the "jokey but blaming attitude"?
:(
Or am I really not getting the spirit of this and being a grouse?
