It's clear they've made an album they are happy with so it's all good.

Yep. There's a reason tickets are on the pricier end now, and it's because bands need to make more from touring than they did before. So gigs and merch bring in more revenue (though they're still pricey to put on) and the streaming side barely makes a dent.
