I think they meant more along the lines of the writing and such will be done this fall before they hit the studio. I'd assume by that timing, it'd be a late-winter, early-spring release...
Ok I take back what I said about DWAG being a letdown. Re listening to it right now and really enjoying it. Songs are killer. I don't know where they lost me the last time I listened to this. If I had to take a guess it would be the track order. The first 4 songs are freaking awesome. Loses steam after that open. Track order should've been tweaked a bit in my opinion. Either way I'm stoked for new music.
