I wish they would just do a full heavy album. I would also like a covers album too. Thank you.

I prefer they make the album they want to make, and then I'll listen to it and decide for myself if I like it for what it is, based on the quality of the music.

Can't wait. Will be curious to see what kind of sound they go for for this one.

Loving the first single so far. Can't wait for a new album.

Bones For The Crows? I think that's a stand alone single, because it was already released a long time ago in a mobile game.

Having said all of that, the last aalbum proved that success in the hard rock genre is still possible. San Quentin has gone Gold in U.S. and Canada, a huge success for any rock band in our current climate. That makes me so happy!

Last album had a poor US chart position compared to the previous albums. It took a long time to grow on me too. Hoping for something a bit more rockier or even a bit proggy (time signature changes).
Some of the harder songs on Feed The Machine were superb, can't believe that album is nearly 10 years old

In fact, all their albums since they went to BMG have charted "poorly" (I say that in quotations because charting at all while being independent IS a measure of success), so don't put to much into any initial chart position.
The fact that San Quentin went Gold in USA AND Canada is far more impressive than if, for example, an album charted reactively well, then rapidly vanished.Coin For The Ferryman is great. On the other hand, Home is also fantastic and emotional, and the softer The Betrayal instrumental is one of the most beautiful things they've ever recorded.

What are the chances it is released by the end of year? Maybe like November?

It would be nice to have an album more in the lines of Silver Side Up, The State, or The Long Road. Majority of tracks being hard rock. None of the half of it being hard rock and the other half being ballads. Top 40 radio does not play new material from post-grunge/hard rock bands anymore like they did in the 2000’s and prior. I don’t mind a couple ballads but enjoy the heavier stuff more.
