I reviewed some of the first of the "comeback" albums. My only real complaint was when they tried to sound like the old days. They were a band that was pretty good at re-inventing a sound, and being interesting. I got a later years compilation from someone (I think it was someone from the old Dudepit) that I really liked. There was a '90s song, "Fear of Falling" that was great, and made me rethink my old thoughts about Trevor Bolder on bass.
I also had Siogo and Vertical Smiles from Blackfoot during the Hensley times. Siogo was good, but very produced. Vertical Smiles left me wanting, and their version of "Morning Dew" (an old high school band favorite from Jeff Beck) was lackluster. I've never heard anything from Virtual Faith, the last band that I knew of that included Hensley.
Gary Thain, as some of you may know, was probably the biggest influence on my style, and I didn't even realize it for years. "Sweet Lorraine" says just about everything you need to know about how great he was, and how bass could drive a song. I covered "Return To Mystery" in a band, but the band just wasn't the same so soon after Thain's demise.
BTW- I guess there's a compilation CD of Thain's work over the years in the works.
