Seems like most people are looking forward to this but not super hyped about it. I think thats a good thing because I find whenever I get super pumped for a new album it rarely lives up to expectations. Most of my favorite albums were ones I didn't go into thinking they would be that way, so hopefully Bayside give us an awesome album that we don't see coming.
I never get super hyped or pumped for Bayside but I always really enjoy / love their albums. Their the oddest band in the world for me. Fantastic, incredibly solid discography from start to (current) finish but I always tend to forget about them when I'm searching for something to listen to. But when I do remember them, then I'm hooked for days or weeks.
I hope this is better than 'Cult'... 'Killing Time' was a peak for me with an already great back catalog but 'Cult' just exist I guess.
