Difficult question to answer without slipping in to generalities.
I know that some of my favorite albums over the years were recorded by artists when they were going through rough times in their life/career. There's an undefinable raw edge to their artistry that transcends musical notes.
Often times artists become banal, complacent and formulated when they end up in that comfort zone groove. That 'edge' is gone (or at least buried).
