Anything else is speculation.

Yeah, but I think it's only natural for a band to do less of that stuff as they evolve. I mean the modern UW has like 100 different tracks to choose from. '94-'96 was before "King of Snake", "Moaner", "Jumbo", and "Push Upstairs" had to be played every show.
I think the OP has a point, I don't think that AHDO or OWB are as good as dubno, STITI, or even BF, but they've released an awful lot of good material regardless. I really did enjoy the last two Riverruns and there seems to be plenty of A-grade unreleased material sitting around based on the radio broadcasts and live shows.
