Well, I've heard that Buck has wanted to fold up the BOC banner for a
long time now; apparently he wants to write more pop material, and
doesn't have the inspiration to write "BOC-ish" songs anymore.
Apparently, Eric is the one who drives the band these days, and
whenever Buck talks about hanging it up, Eric talks him out of it.

This is all rumor, and should be treated as such, but it would
certainly answer a lot of questions about why the band is doing what
they're doing these days.
