See when BTCS came out.

I think you are misunderstanding the question. It's not about initial reaction, it's about ultimate reaction. Also, what exactly does "entitlement" have to do with this question. The question isn't how good an album do we deserve , the question is how good an album will it be versus how good we think it will be. I think what I'm saying is your post doesn't make any sense given the question at hand.

3) Jeff and Rashawn are given full artistic liberties. They are two outstanding musicians who could be spectacular on a DMB studio record.

Agree, agree, agree. The thing is, I think Lillywhite definitely knows #1, based on his previous work with the band. And I think will ultimately agreethat, re: 3, Coffin and Rashawn need to be a part of that.
