Love that 1980's feathered hair on the guitarist next to her .

Nope . . .

I agree, the album has been shelved. Probably wasn't as good as they had hoped, Stevie didn't want to do it etc... They would have been working on it by now. Mick said Christine keeps calling up asking when they are going BACK ON THE ROAD. Please stop pretending they aren't an oldies act now. Never seeing them again without new music.

I was scrolling through YouTube, and stumbled across my source for this. Interesting listen.

Not as good as they'd hoped? You know they had already heard the new music when they made their enthusiastic comments on it back in 2014, right?

Guys, the album is most likely done and they're just not talking about it. Christine said a few months ago it would be done in May and they said themselves they were doing a new tour. They're telling you exactly what's happening and some people on this board are still saying the album and tour aren't going to happen...

Can't remember where/when he said it but I thought he said Christine keeps asking him for reassurances the album was going to happen.

I don't think anyone is saying the tour won't happen. That's all this band does. They will tour.

They aren't going to be secretive about working on the album. If it were done we'd know.

Who knows? Maybe the MIRAGE reissue was pushed back to piggyback with the new album? Big releases put out on the spur of the moment are kind of the big thing right now....I could certainly see FM following in these footsteps, especially since it will (more than likely!) be with a new label!

The release date for Mirage has nothing to do with a possible new album. It just isn't that unusual for albums to be postponed a few weeks. If anything, they would stagger the two albums further apart from each other, not the opposite.

Maybe, just maybe they realize it won't sell...When Rihanna can only sell less than 1000 physical copies of an album, why waste the time/money to produce an album that won't sale? In this day and age I see PLENTY of albums online before the actual release date...but I think an old act like FM would have a harder time in the modern day of competing for a slice of the pie which is the market. The days of gold/platinum album sales are over for acts that are pegged as an "oldies act/nostalgic act".

Would I like to hear a new album? Would it stand up against what they have already recorded? Who knows with this band...I used to be a big flag waver for this band, but the lack of new studio material has killed those days.

"According to the New York Times, Nielsen said that Anti sold fewer than 1,000 copies in what was a very short first chart week, although a source with access to the sales data said its total sales were a minuscule 460. "

Did you expect them to say "well we were just in the studio and it kinda sucked, come see us on the tour!" Of course they are going to say it's good, especially when a big tour is coming up. Or they THOUGHT it was good and upon looking back they realized maybe not. BTW I liked the EP but many people on this board didn't. Before it's release they went on and on about how good it was.

A week or two maybe, but two full months? No, that is NOT common!

This is not true at all. Especially in this day and age. Do you know how even more prominent big name "surprise releases" and things of that nature are going to be? It's how the industry is right now. If there's BIG news you're not gonna know until the minute you are supposed to.

I bet more than anything that this is about the vinyl pressing places. All the respectable vinyl presses are SO backed up because of the traffic. A lot of artists can't get the LP versions of their records out until a month or so after the release dates they put out months beforehand (and the problem is only becoming more compacted with each week that goes by). I'd say they just couldn't get the production done in time.

Plus - if they are planning a new record - a re-release would be some good early promo to get the band back on everyone's minds

Well then they will have to have a large operation tasked with keeping it quiet. I just don't see them going through that much trouble. Such a release would also have to be digital only, at least initially, and I don't think that will happen either. That would be alienating their aging audience.
