The guy who runs Lollapalooza asked them to come play a show but they replied "It isn't time yet." So, apparently they're gonna come back... Eventually.

"This was a really good album. A modern masterpiece. Really would've like to see where they went with their sound after this."
they were literally gonna break up after this so best not to speculate

Yeah, I know. I meant more so hypothetically...
"They were the best the band in the world. Lyrics tattoed on your wrist. Now they're gone and you're never gonna get them back."

i don't think you know what hypothetically means

“ I always thought this was a great conclusion to their sound”
I agree. And with Batter Up closing everything out, it felt so cinematic and wrapped up. It’d be fine and all if they wrote more songs, but i don’t have a particular want for more from them after this album.

yeah, even if we hadn't already had what should be the definitive end of the brand new story, this was the perfect end to their discog. byebye

In another reality where they were gonna write more material... I would like to have seen what that would've looked like.

probably the same as this? it took eight years for this album to come out it's not like this band just had a wealth of musical ideas lying around

You do know they had other ideas, right? A bulk of this album is about the anxiety of creating art and not knowing whether or not your best ideas are behind you. Pretty much the entirety of "In The Water" is about the band not knowing if they measure up to their past works.
Given how "I am a nightmare", "Mene", "Sealed to Me", "Out of Range", and "Lazy" were all scrapped songs that were fairly decent if not absolutely beautiful (Sealed to Me) then I would say they could potentially release another album and it still be good. Not to mention Lacey's wife teased Brand New fans a few years back saying that the band has a wealth of demos and songs that never made it onto past albums.
So... I think its at least a tad disingenuous to say that they didn't have any other ideas. If that is indeed what you are implying.
