Dragon wrote:Yeah, how the fuck did you come up with that? When did I say anything about the hype and speculation being entirely their fault? And not only that, you specifically blamed it on me and mashed me in with the general collective of fans. People are just excited about the new release, and no-one likes waiting for things in general. You can't blame anyone for that.

Once again, for anyone else who has missed previous posts, you are not waiting for nothing. There is definitely a new album coming; I realise we've been posting this message for over a year but that's just how these things go sometimes.

Like BOC, this other band are actually produce ALOT of music, a lot of which never gets released. When they first started out in 2002, they released three albums in 3 years (unlike BOC). Their last album came out in 2004 and we waited for the forth like the fanboys we are. We heard demos for the new stuff within 6 months of third album and they started playing some of the new stuff live too. Then nothing. No new album, no news, nothing. 3 years later we were still being told it was coming out "soon". We eventually found out that they had changed to a major label instead of their old indie label and a loooooooong legal battle meant they weren't allowed to record anything until it was sorted.
Eventually this was resolved and they hit the studio with 2 albums worth of material to plough through. With the new stuff finally in the can they proudly told us the album would be out April 2007. A tour was announced, the album leaked onto the net - it was sublime - and the fans started pre-ordering it in droves. Then, a week before the release, the record company bumped it by 6 months - SIX MONTHS! - for reasons we've still never had explained. Rumours went around about them not wanting to compete with somebody else's big release, but we never did find out. It eventually came out (if I remember correctly) in Oct 2007 approximately 2 1/2 years late.
My point is, it's not always the band holding these things up. There can be any number of reasons why these things take as long as they do. The only difference here is that BOC aren't exactly media-friendly and - as I've said before - while nature might abhor a vacuum, fanboys are more than willing to fill the gap with rumour, counter-rumour and other bullshit in the meantime.
I've said this before too, I'll wait as long as it takes. I'd rather they took the time and did it THEIR way. I can't think of anything worse than them rushing it out just to keep us/WARP happy, only to find it's not the finished article. Patience is a virtue.
