It is not a half assed cash grab. Yes, they are going to make money. However I remind you they spent in excess of 18 months recording a album of new material. A lot of new material. I laugh when they are being ridiculed for making an album too long. The more songs the better even if they are not all great. Most bands with their track record are living off greatest hits packages and reunion tours.
As for you Jeffs. You have NEVER posted a postive message about the band. You were quiet for a while when I exposed your LIE about NYC dj's bashing peacekeeper. Now you have started up again. Yeah, you don't like Peacekeeper. Fact is the song sits at #11 on the billboard AC chart this week and # 4 on the RR Adult Alternative Airplay charts. Fact is some people like it and it has given them more airplay than any song since Little Lies and that includes Silver Springs. Fine don't like Peacekeeper, but it seems obvious that you find little value in the truth and great enjoyment in creating an invisible army of others who support your the false venom you spout. I think you relish the negative and and cherish the thought of bringing others down to your dark place.
The performances this week have been okay. So many have built this band into some sort of giant demi-gog like entity. They play Rock and Roll. Sometimes they play great, sometimes okay once in a while they blow it. Enjoy it if you want to. The other choice is to ignore the current chapter in their career and listen to the parts that made you a fan.
