This is a *mighty big* assumption.

The time between Her fourth and fifth albums (36 months) is *twice* the  
time between the first and second albums (9 months).  Similarly, the time  
between Her latest two albums (49 months) is more than twice the time  
between Her second and third (22 months) and Her third and fourth (24  
months).

So not using any mathematical formula at all, but by sheer guessitude, I  
would estimate that the time between TRS and the next album should  
follow the same rate of increase, to be somewhere between 64 and 78  
months.  This would be somewhere between 3/99 to 5/01.  In other words,  
don't hold your breath :-)
