Seems to be an equal amount of rumors pointing this fall vs. next spring. I'm firmly in the spring 2014 camp, as much as I hate to be. To not have the album done after all this time is absolutely appalling. A "relevant" band does not go 5 years between album releases. I suppose Nov 2013 vs Mar 2014 is only a 4 month difference, but it speaks volumes about their lack of faith in themselves, and their inability or unwillingness to make decisions.
I realize they don't really care about releasing albums, since the real money is in touring anyway. Then quit pretending to give a shit and just call yourselves the next Rolling Stones and be done with it. I'll still buy the tickets, as will millions of others. I'm sure eventually we'll get some statement like "2014 is going to be our year" and "we're going to release ANOTHER record in the middle of the tour, and that's what took so long". It's all a bunch of shit. U2/Universal are afraid of Lady Gaga and other releases kicking U2's ass this fall in sales, and that's why the album won't be released.
I wonder if Danger Mouse is sick of it yet? He seems like a straight shooter and a great creative mind who gets results. I can't imagine he's enjoying it too much.
