I first thought of Hysteria although in today's era, it was 4 years or so between Pyromania and Hysteria, which isn't that long. I remember back then it was forever. They released the single Me and My Wine in 84 but then Rick Allen suffered his terrible accident over the Christmas holidays. I remember they were able to re-attach his arm but then infections set in so they had to remove it.
They had to get a totally new digital drum set developed so he could continue playing with the band.
Hysteria was an awesome album and had so many hit singles and stayed in the charts for over a year. Just saw Leppard two weeks ago in Vancouver and it was a really good show.
Also have to mention Van Halen, Van Halen 3 with Gary Cherone was released in the late 90's and finally A Different Kind Of Truth with DLR was released in 2012.

The "Chinese Democracy" thread in light of Stones long-brewing project.
Best projects that were long in the making
- Def Leppard / Hysteria - notoriously belabored and delayed, still a favorite
- GNR - Use Your Illusion 1&2
- Peter Gabriel - Us - six years to follow So and IMO it's better
- Roger Waters new record is pretty good...

Well, let's say Blue & Lonesome, as A Bigger Bang was a decade previous.
Likewise, Crosseyed Heart in 2015 and Main Offender in 1993.

Bob Dylan and The Band's "The Basement Tapes" were recorded in 1968 but not officially released in their entirety until 1975, although some of that material surfaced on Dylan's 1972 "Greatest Hits Volume II" album.

None of those album took a long time to make?

Perhaps why it takes so long for people like Mick and keith to write new material comes from the body of work they already have. It must be difficult for them to not tread on their own toes. They must work on songs and then have to drop them because they sound too much like something they have already done. How many variations are left for them, it must get increasingly difficult with each new album to come up with something different.

I think any artist worth his/her salt worries about repeating him/herself. That fear can be paralyzing; the search for something 'new' can make you reticent to explore paths you've taken before.
But the most wonderful art often comes from the humblest, most 'familiar' beginnings. A musician can start off playing a standard blues vamp and then, through sheer force of inspiration, add that one little fill or a mid-tune change or an irresistible bridge that instantly elevates the familiar into the novel. I don't think their problem is inherently the intimidating specter of their legacy. I think they've just lost the ability to create, to act, in Keith's terms, as antennae picking up and processing the world around them.

Midnight Rambler being a great example of this.

Pete Townshend and The Who abandoned the "Lifehouse" project and released the truncated "Who's Next" instead, but this guy has made a solid effort at reconstructing Pete's original vision of this work:
