When AC\/DC &#8211; and I love AC\/DC, but think the new stuff I heard was nothing special &#8211; gets a nomination because their first album in eight years sells a lot and Judas Priest gets recognized for a barely noticed concept album, maybe it&#8217;s a sign that it&#8217;s better to break up and make a come back than it is to work your way through your problems and emerge with a sound that resonates with your fans.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: I never pay attention to these things ahead of time.
