Is this how all album releases go? I do feel like we should be getting a little more from them…

They’ve all been a bit different.
Usually we don’t get single, title, track list, album art and release date all at once, and so far in advance. By chunking those together, it’s created a huge gap with nothing.
AFTW for example went something like:
May - Gaucho released
July - Mercy released along with album info
September - album released
It was still a four month lead-up, which nobody seems to be acknowledging in this thread. I think the fact that a tour happened during this period distracted people.
