This is true, which is why Phase 1 was great, I suppose -- Hirama was able to keep up with her. Don't want to start that, though...I do wonder if Ringo deciding to 'train the band' (I don't know how literally she meant that) is anything to do with a new style she wants to pursue in Sports.
As I'm sure so cold said earlier, it's funny that through all the bands she's worked with -- and let's face it, Ringo loves to get around -- she ends up being stuck with the one that's least compatible with her. I DO like Phase 2 a bit now compared to a while ago, but bits of SG show me that she has plenty of other tricks up her sleeve (Beyond the SS/KSK kind of music) and I wonder if we'll ever see that through Phase 2.
I do think that there's a smidgen of a chance of Sports surprising me (I'm sure I'll enjoy the album, but I'd like a surprise). It better, because we may not be hearing from SR for a while after
