Yes, but 16 years is a point of diminishing returns. Generally, if you work on album for about 3 weeks, it is going to feel and sound rushed, which 808's did. I didn't really like the direction he took it in, although he shows promise as being someone who can do his own hooks fairly well.
If you take the extra time to work and shape an album; being an artist and shaping it to be 'just so,' the time, quality and attention will be reflected in the work that you do, and your fans will appreciate it. While there are exceptions to the rule, generally speaking, 21 days does not an album make. I find some bands put together a shitty album after having a year to make it.
