Hate to throw in negativity, but by having delayed the album for this long with little to no information they have created a palpable hype.
Perhaps they delay so you will have some nostalgia to go with the next one, as you missed out on that bit with MHTRTC.
Unfortunately I'm a bit too old for nostalgia now.
See, they finished the album years ago but it's that much more difficult to create digital nostalgia. Only once there are enough errors causing their hard drive to fail will the songs be ready for mastering.
At this point I have pretty much concluded that BoC are the biggest trolls on the planet. Either that or they don't monitor their website/twitter account personally. I mean really, who leaves an empty spot in their discogs page for a fucking year and then gives slight hints/signs of activity every couple of months.
The new BOC release feels ALOT like waiting for him to finish A Dance With Dragons, man did we have to wait a while for that one! Eleven years with only some side chapter being released in the form of AFFC in 2005. Basically the story just stopped for eleven years, and after a major cliffhanger no less.
If GRRM can finish A Dance With Dragons then BOC will release their new album!
Well at least we have some more information, we really know that a new album is coming now. Even the non-mdg believers know that something new is coming now. It doesn't say when, but I don't care, as long as I know I'm not waiting for nothing I'm fine.
all the people who are bitching about the wait over the new album, will be the first to complain about the music when it arrives. while all the people sitting back patiently, will be rewarded.
