Yeah, I'd go with this. Both of what they did without each other had elements of what they brought to the other one. Richie's music after leaving the band wasn't as balls-out rock as people hoped and Jon's Richie-less music was a little more aggressive than the previous album and more guitar driven. But they both did what they did do get the sound they got and it's pointless to blame at this point.
