“I know people get frustrated about the endless speculation, but honestly the buildup to an album is probably the most fun time to be a fan — especially when it’s John’s first album with the band in 16 years. When the album comes out, some people are gonna love it and others will be disappointed. It will be fun too — but right now it’s pure anticipation. Soak it in”
