Well the music biz is a fickle beast. It would not surprise me if Warner did not release anything new by them. They are in business to make money not to foster artists. Everything that comes out on a major label doesn't make money no matter who it is. Judging by the probable low sales of the last 3 albums (I've never seen actual numbers), I don't think this will change now. I think the best case scenario is that Warner will release one album and then they will get dropped again. I base this opinion on the fact that even "Rust" made it to a respectable #22 on the UK singles charts and London still dropped them and that was still better charting than any single off the Grey Album or any McCulloch solo single. Then again, anything is possible I suppose and I wholeheartedly wish them all the luck.
