Y'all should've tempered your expectations from the start like I did... It has nothing to do with the management/marketing for this band. Well, maybe a small amount... they jumped the gun on the announcement. I think that was strategic, however, to force Dave's hand (and maybe slightly boost tour excitement). But until the album is 'done'... you're not going to see much promotion.
The good news is that Fonz said his parts were done (deleted that tweet for whatever reason)... if he wasn't done, I'd be really, REALLY worried that the album would be done this year. Bass usually gets laid down early in the process.
