We live in a different time now. The 90s was set for alt-rock to be mainstream. That combined with how the music industry operated, music like Live's was able to reach "smash hit" status quickly.

I don't think that is possible anymore, no matter how good it is. In fact, the better the music is (see Secret Samadhi), the less likely it is to be well received by the masses. If you recall, most critics ripped apart Samadhi, and it didn't really get anywhere near the attention that Throwing Copper did (and still does). Still, I consider it a far superior album.

I just hope they put out a solid, and interesting album. Any notions that they will put out top-charting hits and reach the fame they did in the mid-1990s is just delusional. Even if they released "I Alone" now, it wouldn't gain a fraction of the attention that it did in 1994. They shouldn't be striving for that acclaim - and I don't think they are.
