I've actually enjoyed the three singles they've released so far, and I'm looking forward to the new album this fall!
I know it's only been another 3 years since Drones, and since the release of Absolution, they've been on a 3-year-gap between albums, but it's felt like a LOT longer than that. Perhaps it's because I didn't really get into Drones at the time of release, and was still digesting The 2nd Law after all that time. Who knows, but I can't wait to see/hear what they've got in store for the full album!
