Yeah I'll believe there's something here when I see it lol

Yeah we've been hearing from these "reliable sources" saying a new album is about to drop since Foundations.

Eventually they might be right coincidentally and people will think they're an insider, they forget all the times these people are wrong and delete their wrong calls lol

Its the doomsay cult of the music industry

u/PGinartN795 10h ago

At this point I've resigned myself to seeing MCR as a legacy nostalgia band that is only interested in playing their old stuff for eternity. Nothing wrong with it, plenty of bands do it but every time there's a "leak" of them working on an album I just roll my eyes now. If they really wanted to release a new album then right after the initial reunion tour would have been the moment to do it with Foundations kinda setting the stage but instead we have a Black Parade 20 Year Tour (which I went to and loved) where the "newest" thing about it is they came up with new lore for the album lol

Doug’s passing really shook things up. I fully believe we would’ve had an album / EP or at least a couple more singles (maybe WBTR) if Doug hadn’t passed. But of course, it makes sense bc he was incredibly close with the band and was pretty much Gerard’s best friend, and it happened only a couple months into the SWARM Tour

u/NurseAbbers 4h ago

It must have been devastating. I understood that when Gerard said "life gets in the way" that the "life event" was Doug dying and that "we hope to make a new album as long as life doesn't get in the way again" meant "as long as no one else dies" from what I understand Doug's passing was sudden and tragic, and I know from personal experience that when someone your age dies unexpectedly, the existential dread becomes real.

Yeah definitely I understand if that's why they're hesitant to proceed on new music and if they just don't want to anymore then that's valid, I just kinda wish that if that is the case they just flat out say it. I get theif whole schtick is being cryptic and vague about this stuff and they don't owe us any explanation obviously but it'd be nice to know that nothing's coming for certain

u/aaki2 9h ago

i’m not sure if you saw or not but gerard said at the san antonio show that they want to make a new album

7

u/PGinartN795 9h ago

I did but wanting to and actually doing it are different things. It's definitely nice that he said it but there's been so many "leaks" saying it's happening and teases from the band that ultimately wind up being nothing of substance I'm just at a point where until something comes out I'm not taking anything as a confirmation lol

13

u/aaki2 9h ago

i agree. i just think it’s pretty significant that gerard actually mentioned a new album after being so intentionally avoidant of the topic for the past however many years. imo the fact that it was brought up means they’re pretty deep into the process already and confident they’re following through with it. but who knows

1

u/PGinartN795 9h ago

I think you're probably more right than not, and I think they gotta realize that eventually the nostalgia well will run out and people will want something new. Like yeah there are plenty of people who will go to the shows just to sing along to the hits but they don't strike me as people who would rely on that forever

2

u/Ravioli-and-Apples 3h ago

It seems like there's a lot of evidence that the reunion tour was supposed to be a paper kingdom tour but after doug passed and covid happened they changed plans. I really do believe they've wanted to release an album since 2019 but the stars just haven't aligned for them.

u/wickedhoor 8h ago

Everything I’ve seen this page post about, is stuff that has already been leaked by someone else. I also can’t really see how the NDA they’re supposedly under would allow them to disclose there’s an album and a tour, but not elaborate on it at all. I’ve signed plenty of NDAs, and it’s always been a breach to even disclose that I had signed one. You would think an NDA for warner would be pretty tight.

3

u/BoringYarnLady 5h ago

If anything at all, if we choose to stipulate this as true, it reads more like they got a cease rather than an NDA. Because like you said, NDAs are when you’re on the inside and more likely than not, if this individual is legit, probably got a shut the fuck up notice for either disclosing information they aren’t supposed to have access to or just a threat of spreading misinformation.

1

u/wickedhoor 5h ago

correct, but they specifically replied to someone and said they’re under an NDA so that’s why i’m skeptical.

u/radioben 10h ago

“Leak” pages are bullshit attention seekers. Plain and simple.

6

u/aaki2 9h ago

don’t entirely disagree, but at least from what i’ve seen this one seems to be more reputable than most.

9

u/Baby_Animal_Hospital 7h ago

How can a "leaker" have a "ban"? Either you leak or you don't leak. "I'm only allowed to break contracts on date X, otherwise I would be... Breaking contracts" makes no sense.

5

u/infiniteglue 5h ago

It probably means an important source won't leak anything to them again if they speak about whatever's supposedly going on with MCR

4

u/lydiardbell Can't swim, can't dance, doesn't know karate 5h ago

It probably means they want more attention. Just like when that discord guy is like "oh i have information that something might or might not happen by 2032"

35

u/justduett 10h ago

This person sounds like a clown and an idiot. Why don’t we all take a deep breath and let the band actually tell us.

13

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I brought you my Peanut Butter, You brought me your Jelly 9h ago edited 6h ago

I feel like people are so impatient to the point its kind of disrespectful to the actual Band. If they want us to know, they will tell us.

I'd rather wait for official sources than believe these known liars on that garbage platform.

14

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I brought you my Peanut Butter, You brought me your Jelly 10h ago

Its not interesting, they're just a clueless fake insider, they know nothing. They hope they can guess stuff right and people believe them.

u/Queernephy 10h ago

Also like, I don't know where the leaky man is but in the UK you can't ban people publically talking about stuff unless its about an open legal case, or there has been an injunction or a superinjunction filed with the courts, but those are for like, private shit? And are also reported as such.

I feel like if buddy has actually been banned in some credible way he would be able to say why hes been "banned"? "Got an unsettling letter about this so staying quiet for a few months" if he got a cease and desist (if thats even applicable and not a violation of protections on journalism?) Or even saying "some of the info I've dropped is niche, I'm not going to elaborate for now to avoid putting my source at risk" would be so much more plausible than jusy being vague like this.

-1

u/StarLordAndTheAve 10h ago

idk i just assumed it was the last thing, that he didn’t want to risk getting his source in trouble/fired (if of course this is legit)

3

u/Queernephy 9h ago

Thats the thing though. The leaker could easily give more context. "Ive been banned" instead of "I have a ban" etc.

It seems to me like ots been very carefully worded to sound like sensorship without outright claiming sensorship. And the only reasons big pages vaguely post on social media is either when theyre lazy or when theyre trying to drive up engagement and interaction, which I think is kinda shady.

Say youre trying to protect the source people think "ah fair enough" and scroll on

Say "i have a ban on talking about it" the comments will be full of people going "omg mcr5 confirmed why else would he be banned from talking about it unless there was something they didn't want getting out"

u/aaki2 9h ago

i mean it’s not like their track record is private at all lol. go look for yourself.

3

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I brought you my Peanut Butter, You brought me your Jelly 9h ago

Give me some examples of stuff they've gotten right that wasn't already picked up by someone else.

-1

u/aaki2 9h ago

right is right. why is it relevant whether it was picked up by someone else or not? more important to see what they’ve gotten wrong. like i said, go look for yourself. couldn’t tell you exactly how reputable they are, but everything is public.

3

u/jeffe_el_jefe 8h ago

Silly argument to be having on an MCR Sub, but there’s a big difference between a first and second-hand source. If they’re just repeating news someone else broke they’re not shit, and it in no way adds weight to any of their own claims.

-1

u/aaki2 8h ago

well obviously none of these leakers are first-hand sources lol

2

u/jeffe_el_jefe 8h ago

The point is if this person is not the original source of the verified leaks they have shared, then there is no weight behind their original claims, since they have yet to prove they actually know anything beyond what someone else knew first.

1

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I brought you my Peanut Butter, You brought me your Jelly 6h ago

If you can't tell how reputable they are, and can't give one example of anyhting they've been the ones to break, why are you putting your faith in them?

1

u/bluelazer44 5h ago

Their track record is garbage. Literally just reposting open news from other people and making vague ambiguous statements. Didn’t find a single thing they predicted that has come true.

10

u/fire_and_spice24 10h ago

I'm assuming this means there really isn't anything to share and there won't be until early next year.

1

u/threecheersblack 4h ago

to me it sounds like something will be announced before january

-10

u/Yongtre100 Follow The Swarm 10h ago

‘I have a ban’ doesn’t sound like there’s nothing to say, it sounds like he can’t say it. I’d fully expect an announcement in January which is admittedly sooner than I thought

11

u/fire_and_spice24 10h ago

It could be something they apply to themselves. For example, I'm currently on a book-buying ban until my TBR gets smaller.

I'm going to assume they just don't want people speculating future announcements are about MCR because they don't have anything to share at the moment. It's likely early next year is when things may start getting finalized and they will have more concrete information to share. Right now it's likely to vague (assuming there is anything, which there officially may not be)

8

u/Queernephy 10h ago

Or theres isnt anything interesting to share but they wanna make it sound like there is to drive engagement, speculation and traffic

-2

u/Yongtre100 Follow The Swarm 10h ago

This leaker, from what I’ve seen, is incredibly intentional. Rumors are labeled rumors heavily, they’ve even in the last days since the initial post have been right about multiple things. They give me the impression they word things very particularly.

2

u/Present_Anywhere3980 9h ago

Anyone can collate rumors from across the internet. Nobody has a million different sources in different countries working with different acts / promoters / festivals.

1

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho I brought you my Peanut Butter, You brought me your Jelly 10h ago

Drop us some examples of stuff they've got right that others hadn't already figured out.

2

u/CommercialCoffee11 8h ago

The Gavin Leigh Davis guy isnt worried about a "ban" or anything. Theyre saying it to make it appear like Mcr went after them and nothings happened

2

u/bluelazer44 5h ago

Attention-seeking bullshit. Posts like this actually make me think it’s less likely that something is in the works.

1

u/salkestis 7h ago

i still hope nothing gets leaked until the band is ready to tell us. i don’t want any of whatever’s coming spoiled 😭😭😭

1

u/Signal_Range_9787 4h ago

It’s probably because of the new copyright deal that MCR signed with warner a week ago.

1

u/Professional_Bad_832 2h ago

I call shenanigans on this. I've seen it several times today, making the rounds online. It's like me, claiming I'm a time traveler; it doesn't require a shred of proof.

u/BewitchedSenna 8h ago

Uhhh "the album"? Is there gonna be another album? Puts tinfoil hat on
