remember, Lindsey was out touring and meeting quite a few fans this year? he said over and over in interviews and conversations with fans that he wants new FM album and/or he wants to put new FM music out, in whichever way possible. Stevie even mentioned that in few interviews (although she says she has convinced him that's a bad idea... frankly i don't think he's that convinced  ). why is nobody listening to what Lindsey actually says and everybody putting Stevie's words in his mouth is just really puzzling to me.
i do agree with people who are saying that it's the label holding them back. we all know they won't make money from selling albums or new music. (i wonder whether they'll put out that first track just for free as a download like Lindsey did with title track of SWS?)
now if the tour doesn't sell, that will be a problem. i hope for them it does, but who knows considering the info about sales for some other acts...

I'm not putting words into Lindsey's moth. I think that because Lindsey himself said it.

But the guitarist and singer knows that new music isn't a priority for the band's fans.
"It wouldn't matter if they didn't hear anything new. In a way there's a freedom to that — it becomes not what you got, but what you do with what you got. Part of the challenge of this tour is figuring out a presentation that has some twists and turns to it without having a full album," he said.

And I mentioned the part about Stevie's opinions rubbing off on him because, like you said, I think at one point Lindsey did want to do new music, but she may have (unfortunately) convinced him otherwise.
