    1. it took almost 10 years between LB and Gigaton. you really think we'll get another album any time soon? ha!
    2. they could all get covid tested and practice together if they wanted. they obviously have other things they'd rather do. they won't even get together to do a streaming show, they just offer past shows for people to watch

    They should be the model for controlling your own world. They do not have to do anything they don’t want to (for the most part).

    As their kids get older they may have more time to spend on the band at some point if so inclined.  Perhaps only one or two of the band at this point is keeping more from being done.  

    It seems like Stone and Mike could make a PJ record every two years and be fine with it.  Not sure on the other three.

    Quick Escape is too good to can because of the Trump reference.  The song is going to be a killer live.  An easy fix would be to change the lyric to "to find a place that hadn't been fucked up yet"...  Personally, I wish that was the lyric anyway.

    Ed's in Hawaii per social media, so they aren't likely getting together any time soon.

    Given all that's gone on in the end of the trump era, i don't see any reason for the band to change any lyrics or dump any songs at all. it will all be relevant for some time to come.

    I don't think there will be a new album anytime soon after reading all the interviews since Gigaton came out, it sounds like the band is on Ed's time and as much as they want to write and record it seems to only happen when he wants to do it, that and Gigaton took 7 years, so I'd expect more solo/side projects over the next few years. We know they have enough songs for Lost Dogs 2, especially after recording for Gigaton, but we'll most likely get more merch as opposed to new music... hopefully once they start touring again there will be more music, but anything's possible with this band, personally I'd be happy with an Of the Earth single/EP similar to Merkinball, but we'll most likely get a limited edition Target release of Vs on orange vinyl and the next vault release before anything else

    i honestly can't imagine why anyone would want a new album. that would essentially cancel this album out of rotation. it's a fantastic album. I don't want it to be the "forgotten record". there will be a tour in support. maybe this time off will allow them to have music ready to go earlier than a 7 year wait next time. who knows. or maybe they'll do like the old days and try some unreleased stuff out live. that would be epic. or as my wave said, maybe when the tour is under way, they release a gigaton single with a few unreleased tracks as a tour EP or something.

    I would quite like a new EV solo album (like Into the Wild!). He can then tour that in 2023 when the Gigaton tour has been completed. He has loads of songs he could put on there

    He‘s working on an album with Glen Hansard. I read it’s a soundtrack for a Sean Penn movie again.

    In my opinion, Gigaton is mostly a forgotten record already...and it will continue to fade from conciousness as there won't be live shows or any promotion for atleast another year. 

    When being performed live can you imagine anyone getting excited for superblood wolfmoon, buckle up, never destination, etc?  I just think the songs will be met with indifference and a formality to get to the mainstays. Maybe I just wanted more than a couple good songs after seven years.

    If touring is not to resume until fall 2021 or the following year, I hope they convene and put another album together. Even if they sit on it, it would be great to have one in the can ready to go.

    the general consensus i've seen is that is a great record; their best in years.

    I'd be happy with a 4-5 song EP. 


    Bash it out. Live takes.

    I mean, lets let them play the songs live first before we decide no one wants to hear them anymore.

    Dont think it would be wise to release another album until they can actually go out on the road with it. The cycle for Gigaton is far from done.
    This is my take, as Gigaton is their best album in a long time and I hope they take advantage of it and show that to more people.

    That being said, I hope they to get a ton of songs coming down the pipe so that they can surprise release another one mid-tour without much hassle. If it wasn't obvious during the last gap, because of the new priorities that come with their age and time-consuming endeavors outside of PJ, it's harder than ever for them to make a new record in normal times. For that reason, I hope as a fan that they take advantage of these unprecedented times!
