Well, if I may say something (and I probably shouldn't)....
Look, we've all been waiting for this album a long time. Everybody here loves SX's music, so it goes without saying that many of us take a new CD by them very seriously, and we want all the updates we can get in anticipation.
Of course, the band owes us no favors, and we'd have no reason to be upset at anybody if they decided to just ignore us totally and release the CD with not so much as a release date for us. That would be fine. What kind of annoys me, and I think rightfully annoys several others, is that they tried to feign paying attention to us. "Studio updates" would often come with nothing but cryptic statements that most usually came out blatantly untrue. I think it's obvious that a good portion of what we heard was really insincere. How about the time they were going to start mixing or something like that, but had to delay it because of bs like "unforeseen" holiday. Wow, I had no idea Christmas day changed randomly every year, I can see how that was "unforeseen".
My point is, if you need more time to finish your album, fine, go ahead and do it. This is SX, they can take all the time in the world for all I care, so long as for the entire years-long-production duration, they don't keep feeding us bits to hold us off that insult our intelligence like "unforeseen holidays".
I'm not saying it's the bands fault, and I'm not saying it's managements fault, and I'm not saying it's Jax's fault. I don't know what happened, but clearly things didn't go quite right, and I don't think anybody is wrong to feel unamused about the situation. Though perhaps some of the points could have been made more tactfully.
I would feel better about the situation had I been looking forward to a metal album too, but oh well. What's happened happened. If you don't like the way the website was maintained, not much can be done at this point, but it's good your opinion is voiced. If you're not sure about how the music came out, then well, I'm sorry, maybe next time. In the meantime listen to V and get over it.
