George, basically we weren't going anywhere, Sony wasn't moving us forward, and I had had enough of the issues that typically befall a band: Heads not in the right place, fear of success, leaving to tour, etc. It's not an easy place, mind you, but you have to be in the right state of mind to move forward. Successful groups do this.
Onto the next one, eh?
Moist and delicious
