    I said "in context." Plenty of fans were warning at the time it meant nothing. Which begs an obvious question about the need for a tweet like that, especially considering the band raised expectations for an imminent album release.


    The expectation for an imminent album release came months before. The tweet had nothing at all to do with it. Expecting whoever runs their social media to connect the two just because you have is an unrealistic expectation. At no point did one ever have anything to do with the other.

    The CDM new album press release  was almost two and a half years after the Paris attacks. I agree that horrible attack threw their timing off but not sure how it impacted that March 2018 press release and it's inaccuracy thereafter.

    I believe most fans agree on their right to go as slow as they wish. But announcing a new album then not addressing that press release subsequently is not fair to the fans. Oh well life ain't fair.


    The Bataclan only affected the cancellation of the European tour with the addition of the US tour.

    As far as CDM...no idea.

    Alt Nation is reporting doom and gloom about Ed's illness last year in London. 

    Sometimes its as simple as Occam's Razor



    "Reporting."

    Much like me, Mike, you're here every day! I think you are still pretty interested. ;-)

    I expect them to be aware what they are communicating to their fans, especially after they announced a new single from their forthcoming album, then offered no follow up confirmation nor denial. And then Ed says on stage they are heading into the studio.


    Then vague tease like that tweet - An empty arena in anticipation of a show, on the heels of a new single and promised album. 

    The timeline speaks for itself.

    -----

    March: "single from forthcoming album"

    Spring/Summer: 26 date tour wrapping with the heading into the studio comment at the end

    Fall/Early Winter: Anticipated album news (given no update nor denial  issued by the band)...with perhaps supporting tour announced a few months after release


    ----> calm before the storm <----


    Jan 2019: "we have some stuff, but we're in limbo"

    ....

    Move Jan 2019 to earlier in the timeline and I believe that would have been fair. In other words, the forthcoming album comment seems valid until they say anything otherwise, which they didn't until Jan.

    Overthinking. Things change. There is no urgency or obligation to clarify things if they take a different direction.

    They are not a current band. They are a legacy act.    A damn good legacy act with amazing live shows, but it is beyond official at this point.   Just accept it.   Current bands release more than one record every six years.

    And some things stay the same. I don't disagree that describing a new album that isn't close to being finished as "forthcoming" was a mistake. But, this is the same band and management that teased Big, Bold and Free without having any firm plan for how to pull it off. This kind of loose communication about even looser plans isn't new.

    EXACTLY.  Nothing is certain with this band until it actually happens. And the album, could in theory, still be forthcoming.

    They put out more than enough merch to make up for the difference. And we fall for it hook, line and sinker. They want more than the 10C membership from me, then they will give me new or live music.

    I did the same thing with the Cubs when Theo came aboard. He was very transparent that they were going to strip it down and rebuild it. I wasn't mad about it, but I had enough of accepting futility. I knew I'd still watch/listen to the games, but I decided I wouldn't go to any games or buy any merch until I believed they were very serious about it. Fortunately, that did not take very long. In fact, it was a quicker process than PJ putting out albums.  =)

    Not mad at them. Not even bitching (now). Just exercising my right to fight back the only way I can.

    Luckily I think the big money is mostly attached to the merch at live shows.    At least they have a reason to play from time to time :)

    In some instances, no news is good news. In this instance, no news is the only news. Sorry there isn't more to tell you. :disappointed:

    Forthcoming has a very specific meaning. But oh well, I need to live and learn. It'll be here someday

    FWIW, many current bands are also signed to labels and have corporate types to appease by releasing stuff. They also have to stay current by releasing stuff. Look at Greta Van Fleet, for example. If they took a year off, they probably wouldn't be as relevant.

    Pearl Jam can take a year off (as they essentially did not too long ago) and still have a show in any random city essentially turn into a UN convention with fans meeting up from all over the world.

    Tool has not released an album in 13 years. I don't recommend anyone walk up to Adam Jones and call him a legacy act.

    BTW they have a forthcoming album due out in the next few months, and it will be legend... ary.

    I would. 13 years but still playing shows with the same (give or take) 9-10 songs is shameful. Just to fund various side projects? Cmon. I’m a huge tool fan but the wait for their album is a complete joke and it’s become a parody at this point.

    I really hope this album gives them a jolt. Last saw them in '17 and hate to say it but they were a shell of the good ol' days.

    good-ghad I hope not.... that would be extremely long for just the mixing and art, which could be done in parallel.
