IMO LP doesn't have to cater to any one of your needs. They can do w/e they damn want to (as long as WB allows them to) no matter how much you rant, call them names, say they're the worst band in the world, etc.
I personally liked the chat. New song soon, new album comin up, possible LPU tour, info on what the 5 mtm b-sides are like, etc. Even if the new song dissappoints you all, the album has 10-8 tracks (which I'd actually be okay about), LPU doesn't come, I'd be content. Guys need to stop getting so worked up about nothing, but hey, you wanna rant, I'm not stopping you.
