I think we might still be waiting now. But I believe Jim when he says he wrote all new songs for the album. If nobody had been to "Over The Top" and "The Dream Engine", they probably wouldn't have believed "Body" and "Still The Children" actually existed as songs. I believe "Paradise Lost" and "God Has Left The Building" are actual epics he's sitting on, waiting for just the right moment. Of course, that's just my belief, as always. > Okay, but COULD Meat have really made a Bat III with Jim, > after all?
