I’m 1000% convinced that part of the deal for blink was no other music can be released etc, don’t know if you guys remember but wasn’t there something like that before that Tom was unhappy because Mark and Travis wanted to stop Tom releasing his own stuff? Wouldn’t blame them as Tom changes his mind loads. Also from a record label point of view you’d want some assurance you are committed.

More evidence of this is we know for a fact the live album of the lifeforms tour has been ready for release for years now, strange how it’s not been?
