If they are done, then I could definitely see a Q4 release (hoping the magazine was off) I just really want this album this Fall
Or FBR could use the same route they did with Panic's last record. They waited for almost half a year and also released a shtload of singles before releasing the album. Either way, EXCITED!
Guys, it's Fueled By... If they're not done recording yet this definitely isn't coming out this year so don't get your hopes up. The earliest it will come out would be April next year and that would be hella rushing for a Fueled by release. I'm thinking June of next year.
I don't think it will be that far into the year. Just going by the self-titled's timeline, they started recording in June, finished recording in November and had the album out in April. For this record they also started recording in June but I think they'll finish way sooner because I can't see them releasing another 20 song album. So I think it'll be out in February.
Panic had the album done nearly 9 months before that was released. Twenty One Pilots a similar timeline. Fueled By just doesn't rush their rollouts.
I'm wondering though, I know that Pmore is technically on FBR, but don't they kind of roll more with Atlantic/Warner's schedule these days? When S/T came out they were on the Warner showcase at SXSW and it just felt like they were more up front about which label was really in charge. Maybe I'm reaching, but perhaps that could impact the release date? Also, HalfNoise is gonna be at the Spotify NYC office tomorrow, so I've put @kelly on detective duty.
