No more studio news in a long time, now potemkin

I think we'll have to wait for news about studio album, these days the official site is going to talk about Potemkin only, I suppose. :(

It´s because Potemkin soundtrack will be released next week.
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

What do you expect? They are obviously proud of the Potemkin album so as it's being released next week do you expect them to forget about it's existence!

Of course not, but we know ALL about Potemkin. How many things they can say about it that we don't know yet? The answer is "nothing", I think.

Anyway, I understand it. It's time for Potemkin but they also could talk about BOTH THINGS. For example, if they still working on the new album or it has been finished yet, new titles, things like that.

Yes, well its hardly suprising that we all know about it, being hardcore fans.

The point of promoting something is to spread the word and reach people who don't know about it. Which is what they are doing. You surely cannot blame them for that?

The new album isn't due for release for at least 8 months, why on earth would they be promoting it now? Have you completely lost the plot?

I'm not disagree with that, the only thing I have said is what's going to happen. I understand why they are doing that.

But for hardcore fans it's not so interesting, I think it would be fun if the talk about both projects. Anyway, it's only a opinion. :wink:

Maybe they don't want a repeat of the debacle of Release. It was readily available for download months before it's release.

On a personal note, the less i know about an album, the more anticipation it brings.

I still think they should have released the Potemkin CD as a limited edition bonus CD to go with the forthcoming album. It would probably reach a broader audience that way.
