Which is true, but it was never a "proper band" situation as far as the involvement of the others goes.

I think the rumour that went around some parts was Tico played on half the album. I'm dead certain he's not on We Got It Goin On and I assume the other earlier ones.
But I agree with this sentiment. Having the band record together for the last two albums puts it into the same place the non-Shanks album were in. Jon brings the songs in, the band work out the parts, the band records the songs. That only started deviating when they recorded the albums with guitars and vocals first and then built around that. I think a handful of songs were recorded like that on this one given Phil isn't on a few of them.
