That'll be better than Audioslave, at least. I'm disappointed, though.

Yeah, that sounds cool and all, but it's certainly a letdown. This kind of mysterious hype can only be a disappointment if it isn't new RATM music.

New RATM music is the point! What's wrong with that? They only released three original albums. There are tons of other '90s bands reuniting and releasing new albums that you like (Faith No More), so why not these guys?

Faith No More showed a natural progression in their music.
Every album is pretty different from the previous one. I dont think The Battle of LA is different from the debut album at all...not only musically, but thematically...its a shame, but i guess those guys realized that when they broke up and when they got back together.

While I think each of their albums has a unique flavor, you have a point. They didn't do a lot of "progressing" musically. But when you start with a sound and energy that's as distinct, defined, and original as RATM's, I'm not sure how much you need to evolve, especially if you're only releasing a few albums. I don't think one more record would wear out their sound, and lord knows they have plenty of subject matter to propel them these days.

Thats my main problem with a new album. I already know whats going to sound and whats going to be about...there will be nothing surprising or infuriating or, i dont know..new about it.
Also, im kinda tired about rock stars preaching about politics.

Fair enough, but I would still be more than happy with a new Rage album. Sure, I know what to expect, but that's okay because I love what they do. Music doesn't necessarily have to be unexpected to be compelling.
I totally agree with you about celebrity-politics exhaustion. And usually I find it completely insufferable. But I think there's often an extra layer of depth and nuance to RATM's political lyrics that's missing from other stuff out there. Their anger feels earned and genuine. It never felt like liberal pandering to me. It never felt comfortable. And I don't think that would change if they came back.

I used to feel that way with them too...i mean, its not Bono´s ¨lets all be friend in freedom!!¨ mantra, which i despise and think its so fuckin horrible and wrong, i do appreciate Zach´s point of view in a lot of subjects but i dont think he will move me like i used to...i feel Rage political output is really cool for a teenager.
