@nb You're right I'm sure Yo has changed his mind quite a bit, but also I think the way music is consumed these days has changed more than ever. I don't think any of them foresaw how popular they would get all around the world through the internet with literally zero promotion on their part at all! Nowadays bands don't have to be on the radio at all and they can still develop a big cult following, and sometimes they have much healthier careers compared to acts which hit the mainstream for a hit or two and then disappear. I still don't know what is with the hold up with the album(s?). Sometimes I wonder if in Yo's own mind he's built up the legacy of X so much that he's afraid that anything less would give the story of X a band ending, considering it would likely be their last album. All the members still seem to be fairly active though (except for Heath, no idea what he's up to!), so it seems like they still have some juice in the tank.
