Guest Dogboy73 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You need to stop assuming that mdg's posts were to advertise or promise anything Granted, he never uttered the word 'promise', but he was most certainly advertising: "finally coming out in 2010." "There is definitely a new album coming" "there is a new album coming." "there is a new BoC album on the way." "let me just say once again for the record, there's a new album coming out first" "There's a new Boards album coming" "there is a new major release by the band coming up" if that's not advertising, I don't know what is. If that's not total bullshit I don't know what is!! "finally coming out in 2010". 2011 is almost over & nada! ...... maybe we missed it??!!

o00o Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 To be honest I am pretty happy with the album taking longer. I prefer 1 great release that takes 10 years over 4 mediocre releases every 3 years. Listening to the last Portishead waiting this long really created a very awesome release. One the other hand I wish there would be at least some kind of explanation by MDG why it did not happen the way he promised. Just going into stealth is not really nice to the fans. What about "Hey guys I just got message it will take a little longer as expected and I will let you know when there is more news on the subject. I am sorry but this is out of my control currently." This would not hurt at all and would be like giving the people waiting in line some tea instead of just slamming the door in front of them. Sure he does not owe us anything but it would be a nice gesture. On the other hand BoC has already a weird history of putting weird signals out and not deliver in the end as they did with the Red Moon thing. The MDG story just put this a step further as there was no coded message. Back then a litte "hey fans there is no party for you" would also have prevented the strange hype that did happen.

Candiru Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 They're just stubbornly out of touch with the way artists maintain goodwill with their fans since the dawn of the internet. Something like, "when we were kids we were happy to be surprised when we saw a new album at the record store, etc. etc." which would be totally fine if it weren't for MDG's ill advised BoC-teasing. Other music, blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyrofen Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I still think it'd be awesome if they released an album with no press from themselves, WARP, or even Bleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 To be honest I am pretty happy with the album taking longer. I prefer 1 great release that takes 10 years over 4 mediocre releases every 3 years. in what way are the three boc albums considered mediocre? I am referring to the unreleased material that was obviously close to release during the past years. If the reason of holding it back is that the material was not good enough until now I am totally ok with not releasing it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
