There's a handful of things that we've gone in and demoed up some stuff and arranged some things and there's about 10 or 15 pretty solid ideas laying around. We'll probably go in a couple more times, and hopefully at some point in the spring we'll go back in the studio. That's what we're hoping.

An album by the end of the year would be pretty cool and if it was any good I'm sure it would get quite a bit of publicity with all of their 20th anniversary events going on.

It would make for a nice, clean album-every-two-years average.

I really hope they arent making this album like they made Backspacer. Matt, Jeff, Stone, and Mike work on demos and then Eddie comes in and adds some lazy lyrics in a week.

Stone has already stated that's exactly what they're doing.
I think it's fairly important they get a record out this year. Capitalise on the 20th anniversary and get into people's minds that they're at this level now and they're truly important and here to stay. It's Pj though so none of this will happen.

That's what we were all saying about Avocado. But now that it's not the newest album anymore, we're starting to like it again.
Ow no, we don't. I'm just not that vocal again about my dislike anymore.
I'm just generalizing. I'm sure there's still plenty of Avocado haters out there. It's just Backspacers' time to get the hate. Once the next album's been out for a while, people will start to say "you know, Backspacers actually been growing on me lately. I don't hate it as much as I used to."

Absolutely. It happened with Binaural, then Riot Act, now it's happening with Avocado. Next it'll be Backspacer getting the belated compliments.

Then the people who loved it originally start tearing it apart saying they hated. Its the circle of life.. I bet ed's pissed elton john wrote that lyric before he did..

We see that every time. What's with our obsession to rank these things anyway? I still love Backspacer, and I am still surprized a bit after every listen. Avocado I didn't love instantly, but I still think very few songs can top Comatose, Come Back or Parachutes.

I'm already feeling more charitable about Backspacer than I was about six months after its release - I think there's four really great songs on there now - but I really can't see that improving when the next record comes out. I think it's been long enough for those feelings to settle now. I don't hate it, I just think it's probably the band's weakest effort overall. Some good songs (GSMF, Johnny Guitar, Just Breathe, AtW) but the rest either belong on an Ed solo record or feel too thin and lacking in substance.
