he said the album would release before the next Anchor & Braille album, which should drop in October or November. so maybe we're due for some singles soon? at this point, i'm doubting it's gonna be the 2 EPs and a couple new songs. maybe that was the working plan like 2 years ago when they were finishing Silverline, but in light of the lineup change and supposedly writing/recording with Matty as well, my money is on it being new material. at most, maybe they'd take a song or two from each EP, but even that feels unlikely.
Only Stephen on vocals. Only Stephen on vocals. Only Stephen on vocals. Only Stephen on vocals. Only Stephen on vocals.
As a casual fan who has really enjoyed the EP's but not played them into the ground, I would be okay with all of them put together in an album with a couple more as good or better than what we have gotten. Hard to believe they do not have 8-10 other songs in the can though.

I’ve barely listened to the EPs so I’m okay with it, but it sucks for the people who’ve played them to death
this is... upsetting. however, given the fact that there are tons of clips/images of them in the studio within the past couple weeks, my hope is that there's actually more music coming than this? please?
my thoughts exactly. i think one thing that bothers me about this "album" is not that it's happening this way, because when Stephen said they were planning to combine the two EPs and add a few extra songs, i was originally on board. but that was two-ish years ago when he made that comment, and the two new songs we're getting i assumed would be singles for an album full of all-new material. had they released the whole album last year with all the Convinced tracks in tow (instead of relegating them to a separate EP), i would've been more excited. but Two Graves is almost 3 years old now, with each EP following a year later one after another. if you're gonna release an album, treat it like an album rather than a repackage of material that's a couple years old now. it makes sense to combine smaller releases when they follow in quick succession of one another (like what Circa Survive did with Two Dreams), not when its fed piecemeal over three years.
Bayside and Bring Me The Horizon did more or less the same thing, and I guarantee they won't be the last.
Wild that this has taken this long to release. Those songs were done well before the end of last year.
