I don’t think he had writers’ block whatsoever. Some of the material he worked on for Invincible is absolutely incredible. It’s hard to comment on the post-Invincible material because we’ve only heard three songs (“Gloucestershire,” “Loser,” and “Water”), only one of which comes from the post-trial period. (Also “All in Your Name,” but that was a co-write.) I’d need to hear more of that period’s music to really judge.

We need Dark Lady, Just Remember & boy no. Those are the most complete tracks left from 2008/9. Each have vocals throughout entire song and complete-ish choruses

Really? I thought it was confirmed that those songs have (almost) completed choruses but that the verses only contain nonsensical mumbled vocals?!

They do. OC is a little misguided.

“Just Remember” is 90 seconds long with a decent amount of mumbling. “Boy No” was never confirmed to be from any specific era. On top of that, there are still a handful of songs from the 2000s we have no info on that insiders either haven’t heard or haven’t spoken on yet.

Yes. I forgot to add by vocals throughout I meant mumble / scratch. I did hear that all 3 have fairly complete choruses. Also I thought boy no was from 07/08 considering buxer produced it, but there’s no info about an exact date.

Was “Boy No” linked to Brad? I don’t recall that, but even then that means it could’ve been produced anywhere from 1989 onward.

I think it was assumed that its post-trial cos of the (limited) lyrical content. iirc he sings about being alone and have nowhere to go. That might be a sign that its post-trial but its obviously not a confirmation.

I could’ve sworn it was listed as produced by buxer on the copyright registration. There’s still so much mystery on dates it’s crazy.
