I've been around before mtm, and this album cycle is messing with my head. Mike and the band should just give us somthing solid to like .. Ease our drug addiction hype we've got. What's wrong with tiny snippet?! Or even a realse date of the single event if it's March 5. At least we would know lol! I'm crazy.
The trouble with even a tiny snippet is that's what immediately starts spreading like wildfire, and people could really like the sound, or really not. It's a risky stratedgy. I think we may well see a new song released this week. Well... I hope. Not sure what the post production timeline on a music video generally is. That would give us a pretty good idea. Then they'll probably go for early on in the week after it's ready.
Actually... When is Zane Lowe's show on next? They've given him a lot of new single debuts and we had that thing where Mike wrote down BBC. It might just be a matter of waiting for Zane Lowe's next show.
lol. Okay I just googled and didn't even realise Zane Lowe doesn't host a show on Radio 1 anymore. Annie Mac has taken that over, but MistaJam is hosting it for this spring. That's the show that has the "hottest record". It's on every weekday. I've got dibbs on next Monday, that show.
Gotta say, the whole "pay attention" line from Mike's stream makes me feel like the release of new music is going to involve some kind of indirect marketing and require some kind of fan involvement. To be honest I'd rather they just announce and release things these days as I'm getting way too old to be solving puzzles and shit for album info. I could be wrong though.
I second that!!! Im too old for this puzzles and stuff!!! Just release the music...the fan base is different now!!!
I believe he went to Apple Music. Hopefully we don't get an Apple exclusive album. That would really suck.
Mike and his announcements: "Yeah it's been a long minute Let me break it down now if ya'll still with it First time I did it Yeah I'll admit it I kinda hit it and quit it and left ya'll hanging"
I was in 8th grade when Meteora came out, and I was starting college when MTM came out. Talk about change. -------- Come on I'm getting sick at this "stay tuned" thing. And I have the feeling they'll release some cryptic shit because I don't think the band will tease so much just for a "hey guys, good morning, here, have our new song". Doesn't fit. CUT THE CRAP ALREADY
It must be tomorrow on Zane Lowe show on Beats1 Thursday is the only day this week that Zane hasn't announce the guest yet..and Chester was at the studios earlier this week. come on.
