Agree, I don't think we'll get any apart from It's Not War. They've sort of secretly disowned it...

Not the first time, probably won't be the last time. Even with some of the criticism they get on here, they're their hardest critics.

I think they've got serious commitment issues. They're always wanting to depart from their previous efforts, they've got the same attitude towards their albums that Taylor Swift has towards her men.

I personally feel that if it were the greatest album ever recorded it would still only sell to us lot. It's just the way things are now. Obviously I'd love it to do well, but...

Their formula is pretty fixed, I reckon. They'll introduce new songs, disown a few of them, play four new ones all the way through, one hit from each recent album and a setlist of the old hits.

Doesn't mean it will sell, people would probably not buy EMG now. Just the way it is.
