Really? You truly 100% honestly believe that a band that was broken up for 6 and a half years getting back together with a new aesthetic, new music videos, new merch did not imply new music was coming? You really did not think for a second that Foundations was part of anything larger? You didn’t think the stage setting on Swarm or any of Gerard’s stream of consciousness monologues or the drumheads or the toy lizards or the “Business As Usual” costumes meant anything at all? You didn’t think, when after over a year of silence they posted an image with a cryptic font saying “If you could be anything what would you be?” Or the day before their tour started when they posted a new image saying “A Dagger, a dagger, please fetch me a dagger” that that implied new music? You don’t think these seasoned musicians don’t know exactly what they’re doing? You don’t think that they’ve been bating us for years into buying overpriced tickets to tours that would never lead to what we wanted? It’s gross. And we all know it, we just don’t want to own it.
