I'm curious too. But I have a feeling he would know if it were real. The guy took virtually all of their publicity photos (for the TH era too) and Geogaddi's album cover. He's definitely inner circle with them.

Getting hyped over something like this is a bit stupid, you should already know it's in the works, I doubt they'd leave their fanbase hanging like that without a final statement saying they're retiring.

It's the close proximity of the likes and liking things that hint at something happening soon that are the reason for hype. Plus them liking things that hint at even more than a new album (i.e. unreleased music. Which surprised me because these guys are notoriously paranoid about their unreleased music.)
They're my favorite band so of course I'm going to be hyped at any hints at the future. Nothing wrong with that, friend.
Obviously being excited about a new release is fine, but don't set yourself up for disappointment is all I'm saying. "They've" been doing this exact thing for 3 years. I remember that years ago "they" even liked someone's post on their facebook asking them to perform live, but obviously nothing has happened since then either.MDG: "to clear this up: the myspace page was taken over by warp some time ago, and is now maintained by both warp staff and a couple of friends of the band, on a 'when time permits' basis."

They're not hints, it's community interaction, and it's what a lot of artist's social media accounts do without necessarily meaning anything unless it's an explicit statement because the like can mean any number of different things. It is also known that their social media accounts are managed by other people.Obviously being excited about a new release is fine, but don't set yourself up for disappointment is all I'm saying.

Worst case scenario is it's not actually affiliated with the band and we all get our hopes up for nothing, again. Best case scenario we're seeing activity from a band that is notorious for not interacting like this.
Just keep scrolling and let people have fun.

Pretty much 100% this. I'm not getting *too* excited yet, but I'm certainly not going to go out of way to hate on others who are! It's infectious, and, why the hell not?

Might as well add the random audio clip posted on reddit by some randomer to the speculation if you're getting excited about anything.
