I'm really feeling 2023 will be the year. MDG said "a new album is on the way" in July and clearly that indicates something coming relatively soon.
Now I'm going to place a bet here on the month it will show up. I'm thinking April 2023 because that's the 25th anniversary of Music Has the Right To Children. The Pioneer's Plaque features the faceless people and a turquoise hexagon, both hallmarks of that classic album.
I get the vibe we're standing on the edge of something. Only one and a half more months of 2022 and then only four til April. What do you think?
