Oceania: Mediocre songs and performance - Billy’s response - ADHD RAWK album!
MTAE: Short, mixed song quality, bad lyrics - Billy’s response: ALBUM IS DEAD!
Ogilala: Good but lacked diversity - Billy’s response: BRING BACK SP! ALBUM IS DEAD!
In between and live, he’s written and recorded some great music. He’s just lost sight and diverged from his audience.

It will be interesting if Billy ever does the box sets he promised once the rights revert back to him.
For example, the full Teargarden + Oceania + extras remixed and reordered could be pretty interesting.
Same with a Zwan box set that has every song they ever did.
I would even be interested in a remixed/remastered Zeitgeist that makes it sound like a normal album.
