I might grow to like these songs, but if you weren't going to take the last 12-13 years to develop something new but just rehash old riffs... ya, as a fan I am going to be disappointed. And to be honest, they can make a complete trash album for all I care, plenty of other bands I've liked have made trash albums, but I still like the stuff I like and maybe they enjoy playing this stuff.
TBH, I can't tell if you're being serious or if you're mocking all the decoy album people of yore.

. . . because what you just wrote is exactly the type of things they were saying about 10,000 Days when it leaked. Bravo.
