Well, completely leaving aside the issue of how good any of them  
were, it has been some 7 years since the last studio album, no?  Even  
latter Metallica is scarcely so slow ... ;)

And though I'm not one of those people who doesn't count live albums  
as "real" even _Long Day's Night_ was in 2002 (and contains no  
previously unrecorded songs, though at least it included one track  
from _CotHM_).

How long does it take until something becomes back catalog? :)  Or  
are only a band's "original lineup" albums qualified for the back  
catalog?  (Though calculating that then becomes complicated for bands  
whose lineups changed with relative frequency, like say the Allman  
Brothers or Jethro Tull ... or Hawkwind! :)

Cheers,
Carl
