I'm still for the most part optimistic, but I'm thinking in terms of the next couple years, not new album in 2011.
If this black box just stays up there with no other kind of evidence for a few months then I might have to throw in the towel.
Or form an angry mob.
I don't believe in the supernatural, but it might be my fault there's no new album.
I swear I have a curse where whenever I get into anything, it stops. I got into Boards Of Canada a few years ago, a little after Trans Canada Highway and listened to them non-stop for about 2 years straight. No news or any kind of update whatsoever for 5 years (minus the Warp20 Unheard, which was hardly "unheard").
After finally starting to make more money, I started playing video games again (although I don't play all the time), and really got back into Zelda after a hiatus from gaming. The new game is being pushed back again and again and they've barely said any words about release dates, and when they have, its vague and not too exciting.
Then, to top it all off, I got obsessed with Mad Men after we watched two episodes in my English class. That was over Christmas. Every season has aired in the summer, but sure enough it was delayed this year as soon as I got into it, and Jon Hamm said that normally they're making new episodes now, but because of contract negotiations, there has been no work and the writers haven't even started doing anything.
Everything I love gets drastically delayed. Everything.

I'm quite surprised that we've made it this long without speculation of whether the black box is simply a sign to their fans that they have just started to work on a new release.

Agree. There's good stuff coming out left and right. Why stress over what one group/artist is doing or not doing?ryetronics wrote:I've found that not giving a shit anymore helps with the passage of time between releases. There is so much other music to explore and get caught up in, rather than obsessing over when BoC will finally do something. Of course, I do very much give a shit, but I prefer to walk away until there's something to walk towards. IMO

BoC probably don't know themselves when it will be released due to their perfectionist ways.
Well, the posts from mdg and Joyrex have sort of kept me optimistic. The black box is probably the best thing to happen in the past 5 years in terms of news. But the last time there was a black box, the artwork came two months later, apparently. It's been over a month already, so if that box stayed up there for like 5 or 6 months with no updates or anything, then I'd probably be much more persuaded to think it's a symmetry thing for the website.Vexille wrote:ArbitersGround wrote:How long will it take you guys before you lose hope?

A few months? Really? What is a few more months in addition to the years since the last ep? pft. Or I guess for you, two years.

I hope they go for the style heard in that snippet of "Wouldn't you like to be free?" as I think more of the same would be a little disappointing after all this time.

Is that legit? Doesn't sound it to me. FreddE? MDG?
