  1. ohhhhh, pm... i'm a dumbass
  2. 2017 has been amazing for new music from my favorite bands.
    nearly all of them have released something.
  3. Originally posted by bushido529:I know rumors say that the album is coming out on December but I think the album might come out in October or November at latest look at the albums between pop and Songs of Innocence. The first singles of the albums came out at least a few weeks to a month before the album dropped. Just a speculation in my head


    They won't release the album until December, reason being that they will want to finish the JT tour first so they can open up their schedules for the SOE promo tour. They finish on 25th October, they will want a break, so 1st December seems feasible. As for songs being released maybe a bit too early, this is just to get the engine going – maybe inject some more energy into the tour, not only for fans but for themselves as a band to power through knowing that their new album is just round the corner.
  4. It's common 'these days' not to release singles in the conventional sense, but tracks off an album which only become available when someone 'pre-orders' a complete album from iTunes etc, so maybe 'The Best Thing' as a single (we already know there's a remix package ready from the Kygo leak), and 'Blackout' as a pre album track?

    Promo tour is already being scheduled as we speak.

    November & December, mainly Europe and a bit US.
