Larry and Adam are those I'd believe. They never speak up, though.

Originally posted by wangmaster:nah, it took them 5 years or so to follow up HTDAAB, I doubt the new one will be it only just over a year after the last.
I voted it could go both ways, and I remain hopeful, but it's not realistic.

Yeah but NLOTH wasn't an album full of ideas that had been recycled from Bomb. In fact, almost all of the songs on NLOTH were described as being written in Fez, completely new ideas and everything. Even Bomb definitely had some material on it that had been floating around for years and years (SYCMIOYO)
SOA is more of a "follow up" to NLOTH, whereas NLOTH was a completely new album after Bomb.
