    If people want to listen to your album, that's a good thing. A super long rollout, or a situation like that where there's uncertainty about whether an album or EP is even coming, I think it kills enthusiasm around artists and their music. At least for listeners like us. Probably not the general streaming public, but I doubt that demographic is the target audience for Jimmy Eat World or Bayside.

    It’s insane. Every month that goes by without an album announcement, the more bewildered I get.

    I second this.... it’s madness and I really can’t see an album being announced this week for release October... they haven’t acknowledged a single thing regarding the new album or single! Do you think they have scrapped it

    I feel better now than I did a few days ago. It seems highly unlikely that all those listings were wrong. I think we're definitely getting the album in October and they can announce/release a single whenever they like!

    where would i be if i was my brain Prestigious

    I feel like JEW would get better exposure if the window for attention was to be longer after the release.

    I am not a marketing expert nor have I ever worked in the music industry in any capacity whatsoever, but shorter album rollouts make sense to me in this day and age. It could just be me and my mental state / attention span these days, but I feel like there is just so much stuff coming out at all times, too long of a time between announcement and release hurts artists more than it helps. Vinyl production is really the only good reason I can see to have a really long rollout.

    As a marketing person in the entertainment industry, I really like short windows more than anything on my releases whenever I can. That's all I got for ya.

    I just spent way too much time trying to type basically this haha. I don’t see what the band has to gain by having a months-long rollout.

    2 months is a good rollout I think. Too many are longer than that.

    Yeah, it's not like JEW is trying to or needs to gain new fans at this stage of their career. They really just need to let their core audience know they have an album coming and that's it. A month is enough time to do that.

    Maybe they’ll announce it tomorrow with the whole “one month from today” thing... :shrug:

    I remember when people would complain about hearing 3 songs off an 11 or 12 track album before its release, and now a lot of artists will release half the album in advance. I'll take this over that any day.

    Releasing a single without specifying if it's for an album or just a one off should be illegal. I'm glad JEW is at least waiting to do it all together. A month long roll out I think is fine.

    Bayside did us dirty with Prayers.

    Releasing half the album as singles before the album comes out is fucking stupid and is one of the worst trends of the modern music era. Fuck you Spotify, for creating this bullshit.

    but then it's really fun, each new single gets added as a mini-EP with all the previously released singles for more streams!!!!! lol
