Why don't musicians know what "very soon" means? Just a month ago Jared said the album would be release very soon, and now we know that it'll be at least 4+ months (6-8 is probably more realistic) before we hear the new album. I wouldn't consider that very soon.
They have to release it around the same time as Linkin Park's new album so they can go on tour together again, obviously.
I also complain about this because Bastille has done this about 3 times in just this album cycle. I'm sick of being lied to
Guess Jared got a little delayed with being the Joker. Would be hilarious if that actually influenced a song.
