    Im not worried about it.   For older bands its not a money making venture anyway.  Touring is.  They don’t even need to release an album to play arenas so they’re in a rare tier of bands.

    So once they get the urge to lock themselves in the studio it will be worth waiting for.  If they dont then they dont.

    Right.  Don’t be looking at PJ for your new music fix.

    Im defending realism.  Five multi-millionaires all with their own projects and passions (music and non-music).   Young kids and wives too.  I’m not expecting them to have the same mad scientist ideals they had when they were 35 (as much as id like them to).  They’ve crept into the same tier as U2 and the Stones as bands who can sell out arenas without an album.  Shit even Journey does.  Older bands dont sell records.  They’ll get two singles out of it that rock radio will care about for three weeks before it’s back to Daughter and Evenflow.  Studio time costs money and more importantly time.  When they get the urge then it’ll be true and pure.

    If PJ can't be fired up to make an album given the current political climate around the world, i'd rather they didn't bother.

    They are going to make one, and wouldn't be talking about it if it wasn't going to be done "soon", so I assume that means they're bothered to.

    U2's output is musically superior now too, not just more frequent (and I don't mean that as an actual compliment to U2's latest few albums, although they are listenable from start to finish, if not actually good IMO).

    I doubt this is the case. I think they'll never break up. They are the stones 2.0, although when the stones were in their 50s they still released new music and toured a decent amount

    Both U2 and Stones make records. I thought Jeff made an interesting statement: "This is a broken album". Not sure if he was only talking about the state of the album or its atmosphere. I really get the feeling, they have some tunes, riffs, ideas, lyrics but no direction yet. (Hence the "limbo" comment.) I think the death of Chris Cornell really hit hard, some members maybe harder than others, and that life itself came in between.  I dont see them as multi-millionaire easy lay asses. I think Jeff was earnest when he said at the start of PJ when he said "art is hard work". They give 3+ hours shows. Even Ed Sheeran (to give a comparative example) plays 1+ hour and he is 24 or something . So I dont question their work ethic. I think it is more an inspirational thing - and you cant force that. If Jeff was reffering to the atmosphere of "being broken" - I would say, use that as your inspirational starting point. For the world is broken at this point
