If the album comes out in 2020, I'll eat a pack of these:
The most atrocious cookies I know. I held one in my mouth for almost an hour once when I was a kid because I hated it so much and couldn't spit it out (of course that just made it worse). My husband will hold me up to this. It's the most certain way we can have the album released in 2020.
So currently 13 songs on the new album and a runtime from a bit over an hour? Seems like the concept has changed again. Robert thought about releasing just four or five 12 minute songs in past interviews.

Bob's a bit naughty here. He tells the NME hack that it's done & just needs mixing. He then tells the Georgie Rogers he needs to add vocals to half the tracks.
It is getting ridiculous when he says the album is wrapped up ready to be mixed, and then say half the vocals are done, both on the same day. Then talking about recording the vocals at home where there's no one there to actually tell him to do something.
That's the one disadvantage of not having being on a record label or having a manager. No one is on his case to actually deliver a new piece of music, this could go on another decade of nothing.

There is still Mary, though.....
Flopbert will deliver the album one day. Do not doubt him.
One interesting note from the BBC interview is, that he said the lighter songs are out. It didn´t work on the album. In one of the older interviews he said he wanted to integrate them and mentioned that it also worked for "Disintegration". Also he calls the songs on the album not anymore "relentlessly dark and doom and gloom" but "relentlessly sad". I mean sad Cure-Songs does not mean necessarily dark Cure-Songs. Maybe not so much doom and gloom as he promised earlier? Personally I hope "sad" doesn´t mean (in terms of music) we get that kind of piano play like in "Going Nowhere", while I know a lot of people love this.
Thinking practically, I can't see them doing a full-on tour this year after last year's schedule. So, we're looking at sometime later in the year or probably next year by which time the whole thing may have run out of steam. It would be great to hear some new music but given the last two efforts it's sadly not a given that it will be all that fantastic.
Having said that, I do believe that they still have a good album in them if Bob can be bothered to get on with it.
