I think there is a longer gap here. I also suspect that (god help me) it probably makes sense to think of the marketing strategy as a wave--since there is a long time there will be crests and lulls--with the little bits of information out now seeds (permit me to mix metaphors) that will be harvested later.

Again, they had to start things now because of the tour. They are hardly in a full fledged pre album build up yet (I suspect)

it took them 2 years to get up the motivation to return to the studio. who knows what it will take to get them to actually talk about it...?

if they started intensely talking about an album two plus months before it came out you don't think you'd be tired of hearing about it by the end?

considering they can all record shit themselves, i'm surprised they even take the time to all get in the same room. in a few years, i'm picturing them literally mailing shit to BOB and saying piece it together.

Next record to be titled Compressed Shit.

Or Brick Shit.

Maybe just Shit.

I'm disappointed that you didn't include a gif of Ed smoking on the toilet from the 1995 movie with this post.

Great explanation. I also read it with Ed voice in my mind: "Ehh it probably makes sense to think of the marketing strategy as a wave ehh ( makes a wave with his hand) ahh ehh"

You're right. What was I thinking? I will steadfastly wait at my local supermarket until the new Rolling Stone containing a blurb about the new record on page 45 arrives.

Seriously though, who exactly would these guys be 'marketing' their record to? I want to know....
