I think there's far more of a premium on studio time now. I've heard exactly that from producer mates. But again, it's a two-sided thing - on the one hand, you don't get overblown cod-'masterpieces' (Oasis' 3rd springs to mind); on the other, someone like Beefheart wouldn't get a look in now. I can't see any reason why the majority of bands really need a lot of time to polish their work (beyond some basic production things that aren't hugely expansive). The problem is that I'm sure there are a tiny minority of bands who would benefit from that who probably aren't getting a look in.
