Whatever they do, can they just please make an album? Without all this other strangeness attached? Please?

Yes please, just an album and no comics or movies or anything like that.

They're just keeping it fresh.

IMHO one thing is independent of the other. Doing all the other stuff in no way effects their ability to make a new album (especially since the band is minimally actually involved in anything other than the actual music). I'm not particularly interested in anything other than new music, but I don't see any of the other stuff posing a particularly big impediment to that.:)

No comics, never again please...(i don't mind movies though)

Again, I don't really see what the big deal is (and I'm in no way looking forward to the comic, and generally I love comics.) It's not like that project is actually keeping the band from doing other things. If you don't like it, just ignore it, it's completely created by outside artists, Chris' involvement is limited to the seed of the idea.:)

We're not even a year from LP5 so I'm not even going to think about LP6. That said, an EP would be nice...

^ I heard dat!

If they don't tour as extensively though (which seems to be indicated at the moment.), it's more likely they'd release new material sooner. The main reason it usually takes them so long is that it takes about 2 years post album release for them to even get around to going back in the studio. Once they do that, it only takes them around a year to deliver something. (and from everything that's been written about their process, it seems like there's only about 6 months or so of actual work in that span of time.)

Unless they have a few years break....

Also possible, but I don't think that's very likely right now.

Lets hope that theyre not doing any stories in their albums anymore

Mylo Xyloto is being made into a comic, they look like interplanetary spies on the cover

Just a double album without any canon would be nice

By "lets hope" I assume you mean "I hope."

There are definitely a lot of fans who like the fact that there is a story to MX and who have enjoyed guessing and interpreting the story.

^ +1

 

MX is the most cohesive album to date. If I listen to one song, I have to listen to the whole thing.

Id love to see some of the viva demos surface like bloodless revolution and the fall of man. Id also really like to see something done with bucket for a crown. Maybe the song they do with Noel?

I have made a commitment to my self, as this will be my last post in this thread, in specific, until January 1, 2013, as I do not want to get ahead of myself with LP6. :|

I'm not sure songs like Bucket for a Crown were ever even demoed. I think they were just one off songs that Chris wrote to perform live.

I hated Bucket For A Crown. It's just okay.

I really don't think it was intended as an actual song. It has lyrics that specifically reference the event it was performed at. It really sounds like something Chris made up on the spur of the moment.

Oh, nor do I. I just find the cominc immensely annoying,lol.

 

The movie, otoh? Bring it on!:D

I'm one of them. I loved the concept album idea, and I admire them for trying it. I also loved that we could interpret the story our own way. I'm not sure I want 'the truth' to be revealed, but I'm curious.

Same for me, totally :nod:

I wish I could write songs like that on the spur of the moment.

I really liked Bucket for a Crown instrumentally, but Chris probably just made up the lyrics as he sang the song :laugh3:

^ I've never heard that song O.o, could you help me out to find it :D
