Reading between the lines, I don't anticipate a new album this year. Hey, they are getting older. They can do what they want, and they should spend more time at home- it's admirable.
i feel that their next album will follow what they did on Invented. i wish they would, but i'm almost sure they won't return to the darker, heavier days of Futures. they're my absolute favorite band, but Invented and Chase This Light didn't stick to me like the four other did (even though both are absolutely wonderful albums) and i'm afraid the next one won't too.
i reckon it's still gonna be something really amazing, i just wish it is something that gets me going for the whole year.
Always excited for new JEW. Very rarely am I let down. Invented was pretty spectacular but I've been having a hard time getting back into it after taking a break from it.
If I was going to be a band, I'd want to be Jimmy Eat World. I'm glad they're getting some "me" time. Take all the time you guys need. I'll be ready to listen when they're ready to share.
