skytree may just be screwing around too, there's isn't much way to tell who is telling the truth over the net. just wait for an official announcement.

Why? Because it's generally accepted to lie on April Fools' Day. That's Why.

Why did Joyrex put this in the official boc news section? Isnt this page only for legitimate news? or is this just part of the joke?

Does anyone want me to upload an mp3 of Isolated Reciever?
They're not kidding - it's definitely their best song yet.

Lol

Anyway, I hope it's real. If it's not, well, fine. It's already a cruel joyless existance to be a BoC fan with no new album or real news.

This is almost certainly a hoax.

Evidence: There are 1060 copies of the vinyl version. The first letter of the alphabet is 'A' and the sixth letter is 'F'. [A]pril [F]ools. I think you'll find that's pretty conclusive.

Trust me, I wish I was.

But yes, it's definitely best to wait for the official announcement when the time comes.

The Internet is like one giant year-round April Fool's.

From a Fredd-E post on WATMm...

Ever since all of the other hoaxes I've been very skeptical about any boc news. Sometimes after all the crap you just want something to be true and since you are (or should be) some kind of trustworthy source of information, it seemed ok to have a little bit of hope; even though it's april fools' day.

But obviously this has turned out to be a hoax, yet again, and rather quickly as well. So how long did your enormous joke stand ground? What did you benefit from this? Are you happy now? Satisfied? According to Skytree this was his first best news to hear after hearing about the car accident.

Do you think it's funny that you've spoiled yet again something that could've been really nice? I think it's a pathetic douchebag action wether or not we boc fanboys are too prone for this kind of news.


Well said.

I find the joke itself to be pretty funny. All the details of the album that are obviously too perfect to be real, like the comment about all the short interludes, are humorous.

But it's the execution of the joke that stank like egg salad. The fact that he made mention of April Fool's at all is what killed it. Let's hope and pray that Joyrex isn't a standup comedian, because judging by this, he'd be a very poor one.

Under normal circumstances, I would have agreed. This has 24 hours has been really rough, like I mentioned. I've had virtually no good news for a while now, so even something as small as this was enough to cheer me up substantially. Since I've been caught up in several emergencies at once over the day or two, I completely forgot it was April Fool's.

Anyhow, I don't mean to be a downer. I'll be alright. Just a shame that Joyrex didn't seem at all apologetic when I explained the situation to him...he just cared about his "bit of fun".

I don't think he should be expected to apologise just because you had a bad day and decided to post the details of it on the internet. Get over yourself.

I realize that's rather heartless of me, but really. Several people have made too big a thing out of this already, and for you to take it personally is really kind of irritating.

What if your mother and girlfriend got in a car accident? Would you still have such a big mouth about it?

Show some respect, even on the internet. This place is supposed to be a peaceful community.
