"That" being that Stakes would've sounded just like Psychoanalysis. IIRC, during his season of What Had Happened Was he said that his mental state during the making of Psycho.. was poor because he was fed up with the industry and he was also low because he had no idea where his career was headed, he felt like that may be his only chance/last album.

I think if he were still intimately involved with Stakes/De La as a whole he may not have felt that low and therefore his production may have struck a less somber tone.

All speculation, of course. But again IIRC that's what he's said about that album and his mental state while creating it.
