I know nothing. But if I had to take a guess here I would say the band wants to release the album and then tour on it. They won't release until they know they can tour and they want it to be a #1 to continue the streak. You won't see the album until those two things can happen.

The touring part is pretty iffy, we are 3 months away from the first show and only about 15% vaccinated. If the pace picks up and it looks like at least most of the tour can happen it probably comes out early on during the tour.

Second part, I'm not sure what they can do outside of trying to pick a week where not much else is releasing and pray that a bigger artist doesn't just randomly drop an album out of nowhere. They can't use ticket sales with a free album any more so they will have to find a new way to inflate sales or do a massive PR push which is going to be hard with COVID still floating around.
