Every time I see the Jimmy thread bump up I get super excited until I come and see no new music or even an announcement.
Is there any realistic chance they just do a surprise album drop on some day in October with no single or anything released ahead of time...??? (Not counting the version of "Love Never" already out.)
I still think we’ll get an October release though. I think back to After Laughter by Paramore and it was only a 4-5 week gap between the lead single coming out and the album being released. So it’s not unheard of to have such a quick album rollout.

As far as I can remember. Most of the album cycles we've heard Jim preview a couple of songs at acoustic shows over a year prior. That or leaked demos, track listings etc. Songs previewed acoustically over a year in advance (that i can remember): Integrity Blues Get Right Book of Love No, Never You Were Good Mixtape Heart Is Hard to Find Chase This Light Drugs or Me Hear You Me My Sundown My memory is really failing me now. Some albums we had leaks of demos before the album came out, like Chase This Light. Or iTunes previews way in advance of release (Invented). The IB track listing leaked a little while ahead of time. By now we would usually have singles, song previews, track listings etc. At least we have Love Never and a clip of Criminal Energy live. And we know the album is more straight-up rock than their previous few.
