Netphoria Message Board - View Single Post - A new SP album with Butch Vig is the last card to play to drum up new hype

I dunno. It's weird. I wonder where the group goes next. They had this massive successful reunion tour and had regained a bunch of momentum and then they put out a new record and it flops miserably. It's gotta put the guys in a weird position.

I bet they were hoping that they could parlay the renewed interest in the group in order to get people on board with the new music, but it just didn't work. I assume the next card they'll play is an album themed tour, cause they can't just return to the same markets doing the same hits thing. They'll have to have a different angle. I imagine something like this: 2020! The 25th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Tour!
