Well the new album should be coming along nicely as the band haven't bothered to tour this album (even though they promised a UK tour), haven't put any effort into this crappy album, so they have had tons of time to do nothing but record new music.
The band love to slip out stuff out inbetween releases and I guess they didn't want to do any work cause they are busy making awesome new music for the awesome new album, so instead we have this bs.
They better be careful though, they do this to keep there name out there, but if they keep releasing crap like this, there name will become mud. They have already turned a lot of people off, sloppiness has it's price.
