I thought it was already confirmed that they were obligated to do an album in 2014.
I'm just hoping it's not a Death magnetic pt 2. While the album was an improvement (would have been impossible not to have been), it was very forced to me, and they just can't pull off that kind of music any more (by which I mean Lars and Kirk).
I'd like to hear them just find the sound that fits them best now. Something closer to The Black Album, more concise and melodic songwriting, but still nice and heavy. Mediocre sloppy thrash doesn't excite me.
