Reminds me a bit of RiF, which was announced what felt like three years before the release date, and which seemed to be before the album was even finished. I think a bit of it is the fact that there's no concept or strong theme or musical direction behind the record - there's no manifesto for Nicky to push, there's probably less for them to be excited about. And it was completed almost a year ago, so the momento has probably gone for them as well.
