No more remixes PLS

Nor what they did with Every Breaking Wave. The song with piano and such is very cool, but please, why not play the "original" from time to time? I hate when they do that.

How do you know your favorite band is relevant again?
Pumping gas at Citgo and on the TV monitor at the pump showing news briefs...
Trending on CNN - the blackout - show a snippet of the video and talking about best thing he released next week. How cool is that?

Avoiding giving details about the album when they're not sure if it will be on time is a way to avoid another Pop/NLOTH, when the album got delayed and (coincidentally) became a sells fiasco. And of course a way to have more time to mix, remix, record, rerecord ad nauseaum.

I was sincerely hoping something like this when we learnt about The Best Thing being mixed at the eleventh hour and in a "competition" between two teams of producers. It's just the same story each time with different words - this band tend to overthink everything to the maximum and that results in an extremely unefficient and slow work output, which eventually results in things like Invisible being released as a way to say "we're back" and then disappearing for seven months, or things like announcing you're going to publish the details for your new album together with its lead single, and then retreating from that statement.
