Is it because One Week,which was a #1 song,was on the 1998 Stunt album? Because the 2000 Maroon album had three top 15 songs. Too Little Too Late was #13,Falling For The First Time was #11,and Pinch Me was #2,the only reason it wasn't #1 was because it was released at the same time as The Real Slim Shady. In Fact,the album itself was #5 that year.
Their chances of a comeback are 50/50. Ed Ferguson is a great songwriter in his own right,and Kevin Hearn and Jim Creggan wrote a couple great songs for the kids album they did last year. Plus,Jim Creggan absolutely rocks on the base. Did you know before some BNL concerts,he plays Crazy Train? Awesome.
If you've ever listened closely to a BNL song you'd know that there is always a melodic guitar riff in the background. Ed Ferguson is a much underrated guitarist.
