I doubt the brothers are very much involved in this. I mean, these are the same guys who sped up a clip of a woman screaming to make the "s" sound of a word in a backwards subliminal message. A bit below their level no?
Idunno, there was something of a puzzle element to the portion found on this website. They could've made the mystery more complicated and harder to crack, I'm sure, though I think the entire angle of this event was to alert the fans that something's going on in the studio, while simultaneously getting the interest of outsiders that aren't familiar with the BoC vibes and mythos.
Yeah I think the main issue here is that if they were to do something truly cryptic, well, there's no telling how long it would take for us to figure it out. Not the best way to release an album after a 7 year silence.
what? why not? this is absolutely a blast.
quit being so impatient. savor this...cuz when its done its done.
and you all KNOW that some of you guys will be bitching about something once its out.
there are those WHINING to get it right away....that will put it on once...then be off scrambling to the next thing.
this is really fun...enjoy being part of the experience. not many albums are handled this way....if any.
you want mystery....but you want it served up instantly.
take it in. this could be the one and only time something like this happens.
thank computers/internet for robbing everyone of their attention spans.

I was thinking the same thing. When will anything like this ever happen again? This has been truly fun and inspiring way to get people talking about what is happening. 8 years is a long hiatus and this is a genius marketing ploy that suits the band and suits the fans for the most part. I've lived long enough to know this is really very unique and could only happen by virtue of the technology we have today.. this probably couldn't have even happened back in 05.. youtube was 2 months old.

At this point it seems like it was a bit premature to think that it would be all over by the weekend.
And i had a dream last night that the the key to the numbers was hidden in the campfire headphase. also dreamed that i was asked to join boc but it's probably not relevant.

if they push this into a third week? That's a bit much. It better be done by the end of this week else I'll go back to not caring about BoC again.

Stop the presses and get the album out tomorrow boys, or this guy on the internet won't buy your record!

Frankly, it's pathetic and, to my mind at least, justifies entirely the 8 years of almost complete silence from them.
People really are very ugly sometimes.
