Make no mistake, I think the album will be great, better than HTDAAB but a hoping for an AB style reinvention (and encouraged by such comments from the band) is mindless optimism, which will just lead to disappointment when the final product doesn't meet such lofty expectations.
As George Michael once said....Gotta have Faith!
