    For those that are concerned, what could Mike have said if the album was done that would make you feel better but not be a pseudo album announcement?
    "We've got a bunch of things recorded that we're pretty excited about. Right now we are working on narrowing down the song list and deciding what works best for this project and getting a mix finalized. Hopefully it will be ready next year"......something like that would give the impression that the album is close but not imminent. Saying "we're writing some stuff..." sounds like it isn't close at all, which makes sense since we haven't heard anything about the band even being in the same room together since last tour

  • This is interesting though.  Two board members that feel 100% of their belief in the album progress but are complete opposite on progress.

    i think each member of the band has been following the same "songs are in various stages of completion" script for the last 3 years. so who knows.

    Just watched the clip. Looked more to me like being annoyed about being asked the inevitable question. Like how every single family member would ask me if I had a secret girlfriend at Christmas back when I was single.
    I don’t think he was hiding anything, he flat out said at the very end he’d very much like to get back and make more music.

    The new PJ album is not done yet, they're working on it, as I already wrote on 08/22 ...

    Interesting. It would seem from Mike’s answer that they aren’t even in the recording process yet.

  • Raindog80 to Dimi:




    I think they both look wrong if you ask me. Hopefully Mike is feeding us with BS.

    I don’t know if I’d call them insiders... but dimi has had some solid info on tour dates the last few years that helped me out

    This is splitting hairs, but I suppose you could interpret "writing" as "working on it".

    I said 2020 album & tour because of this important thing called the us election... obviously they like most don’t like the direction of the US, the Halloween shirt is more evidence to that

    can I too be an insider? Or is captain obvious more appropriate?

    The album will be out between March-May 2020

    the band will tour doing what they’ve done in the past, a whole get out the vote, let’s get people registered. Ed meeting with candidates in Iowa, If i were a betting man this is the most likely timeline

    So they might be almost done but they also might not have written one riff yet.
