The new JAMC album has tracks that range from the pretty good to the absolutely abysmal. The whole thing is average at best. Same as the last couple, and anything post-reunion by Pixies. I think this shows that the "only if they have recorded new material" criterion is no more than a meaningless technicality. The bottom line for any band's booking will be whether or not Simon wants them.
