They have been for the last six months.

That's good to hear. Hopefully they go with a different producer this time around though. My favorite from them is still Constellations.

Great news, I love everything they've ever put out. Pretty sure that they won't disappoint us.

I love them but i didn't think leveler was as good as Constellations though.

I still like Messengers most. It's the only one I can listen to straight through without it getting monotonous.

I'm okay with this.

high expectations

This all the way. I can recognize that all their releases are quality but Messengers and Thrill Seeker are the only two that I feel have discernable memorable songs. The only thing I remember from Constellations is "Don't excuse yourself from life today!!" and I recall the midi version of a song from Levelers.

Agreed, I loved that sound on Constellations (which I think is their best work), but on Leveler it made it seem like Constellations part two.

Hah, strange. I have a hard time listening to too many songs from Messengers in a row because I find them to be far too monotonous. To each their own, I suppose!

I still never got their last record, I've heard pretty mixed reactions to it.

I am pumped for this. Although I will say that I think leveler was perhaps a little too experimental.

Wow, really? Besides Thrill Seeker, I thought Messengers was by far the most monotonous. I love 'em all, though. Constellations was my favorite, but I'd still love to see some more experimentation a la Leveler.
