yeah, nice theory except it would fail on your opening point. i've never seen a good media blitz from their PR team, in the recent years.

plus, i think they should have finished that album already, and from the speed that Men of Mac (and seemingly Christine) have been working, they are more then capable of doing it. they had 2 months off, and most of John's parts were already recorded. now their PR could take over to package and sell it, together with Christine being back.
