When I first heard that Jim was becoming a full-time member, I was a bit disturbed. Not because of my feelings about Jim, but because I was skeptical of any fifth member joining the band. That said, I believe Jim brought a new dimension to the band, but it's hard to say. I don't know how the songs were written, so how would they have been different had he not been there? Who knows? How would the production have been without his input? What I do know is that both records with Jim on board were noty only excellent, but different than anything that preceded them.
Now that it's done, I am kind of happy to see the band back in their "classic" lineup.
