It must have been like Sophie's Choice for all the grunge dudes trying to decide between Yield and the Titanic Soundtrack.

I am listening to the excellent new Archers of Loaf album, their first in nearly 25 years, and it got me thinking about bands who have released albums of new music after a breakup (or considerable hiatus). It's gotta be tricky, finding a balance between recapturing the trademark sound you're known for while still trying to push ahead creatively.

yeah, Rage is a good pick. Seems they dont really have more left.

I think Faith No More and Soundgarden are great examples. My Bloody Valentine could be another. Slowdive too.

I guess maybe De La Rocha has writer's block? The other guys have made a bunch of albums together since Rage split

I was gonna joke and say Backstreet Boys, but I looked up their wiki and realized they really never stopped releasing albums. Who knew.

That Hum album that came out a while back was amazing. Too bad the drummer died right after.
