This reminds of Kanye West-- when he recorded his last solo album ('My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', which was unequivocally a critical and market smashing success), he rented a house in Hawaii with a studio in it, flew out all the producers/artists he needed to collaborate with, and maintained an demanding, consistent work schedule (napping in 90 minute intervals and working through the night) until he perfected the album. It's probably not sustainable, but works really well for a concerted push.
