I'd say that's a lock on that double album - we're getting album 10 and 11 at the same time.

Yeah, they've done well there. But changing a graphic doesn't require technical expertise and the countdown clock would be pretty simple CSS I imagine.

uh? this is not done via CSS

Nope, CSS is just a method of formatting/style. You could just do a 'view source' on the page to see, but I'd be guessing the clock's done with JavaScript. I'd check myself, but I'm posting from my phone at the moment.

yeah it's done via Javascript

and by the way, looking at this countdown script (and assuming I read it right) I can say there's gonna be one more countdown after this one

aaaand it looks like it will be a long one:

days = 95;
hours = 8;
minutes = 59
seconds = 60;

so something like October 14 I think

Album release date.

And sorry guys, I did mean Java. I'd actually already looked at the source and everything to see if I could find any secrets in there. I fucked that one up. Stip just had me so hot with rage.

Isn't the first show on October 11? I would've expected the album to have been out at least a few days prior to the beginning of the tour.

A couple of shows might get gypped like in 2009.

Maybe they'll add a spork.

Nice work!

So it looks like we should get to hear the single, as well as album details and release date when the 1st timer finishes. Then the new countdown will take us to the album release.

Here's hoping, anyway.

The post has a precedent, I assure you. You need to be more observant, lest perfectly sensible posts like that one appear random and whimsical.

I'm sure it's somewhere within the 343 pages of this glorious thread.

it was a clever joke, but I'd backtrack to learn its origins only for completion's sake.

Both interesting

i think this whole dinner setting thing is eddy reminding us that he has kids to feed, so we more readily accept the bloated 10c shipping prices, kiss-style merch barrage, and ticket prices.

Or maybe he watches a lot of Hell's Kitchen and can't stand Ramsay's attitude.

I just did the math and, assuming this 3rd countdown begins exactly when the 2nd one ends (7/11 at 3pm EST), this one would run exactly to 10/15 at midnight (EST). This makes a lot of sense since 10/15 is a Tuesday, the official US release day.

Sucks for those first few shows on the tour though. I doubt they'll get to hear too much new music as the band usually limits new material until the official release.

IT'S FUCKING RAWWWW

Spoiler: show

Is it lame to quote yourself? Anyways, if the above is correct, Pittsburgh and Buffalo would be pre-release and Worcester would be on release day. But this is still good news for me since I'll likely be going to either Brooklyn or Philly. Just in time!
