I see both arguments...obviously people are spoiled by the information age and need to learn to be patient. The constant nagging at the subject does get old. Really though, whoever is in charge of the band's press (I know it's not really all in one person's hands) should get their stuff together. I know how these things work and I know it's not as straightforward as we'd all like it to be, but come on. It's like telling someone you've got a present for them, but you don't plan on buying it or telling them what it is until later. It's just bad business. Fans of this band are used to waiting...I think people would rather have actual news on a given date than getting news about news about news a few months earlier than that.
