I don’t get it when people say bands “take two years off” between two albums. Like… that’s perfectly fine, that’s not a time off, that’s like a completely rational time between albums, I’d say it’s even rushed a little bit if you tour with the previous album properly. Time off between two albums should count from when the band stops touring until they start working on another album. If you released an album in 2015 and then another one in 2017 that doesn’t mean you took “two years off”, it just means you released an album, toured with it for a year or so and then made another album in under a year. That’s not time off at all, geez.
