"Album number three. It’s the one that makes you or breaks you, in the long run. If you made it big with your debut, then got a little bit weird and expectation-defying with your sophomore effort — an incredibly common trope to follow, that one — then the third time had better be the charm, or in the incredibly fickle world of pop music, your 15 minutes might be deemed past." I wasn't blown away by Sam's Town, It may be one to revisit. When I get home today I'll download the new one. I was just reading some local news when I found this,
