Yeah, but, come on ... one gets the distinct feeling that Eric and Buck are happy enough coasting.  I mean, even if the entire original band reunited and made the most amazing recordings in the world, the world is not gonna send them straight to festival headlining (as with the not-quite-reunited {once again} Sabbath).  It's been a long while, there's no hype, etc. ....

Mind you, Buck could sit down and start crafting great new music whenever he wanted ... if he wanted. With his experience, it's no big hassle these days.  But, well, it doesn't seem to be a priority. :/

For all that Blue Coupe seems like fun for all involved, on stage or front of stage, I'm not sure its designed to produce something new that blows our socks off. I can't help but think that "Denial of Death" may end up having been the last great (and it _is_ great!) new product from the World 'O BÖC.

Cheers,
Carl
