They need to go out with a bang. There is no point going out with a flop. If The Circle was the last album, thats fine. At least we know they'll go out on a high.

After two years, Jon's gonna be 50. Now, lets assume it takes 2 years to write songs and record an album. He'll be pushing 52 by the time it comes out. I dont know if he has what it takes to last that long - and if we do get a new album, that means a new tour, likely another 2 years, so he'll be mid fifties by the time they finish.

The Circle could be the last, after the tour is over, send out the Greatest Hits and give us a wave goodbye. Out in a blaze of glory.

I am not saying I want them to say goodbye after this album, I think they need to choose a time to do it. They want to go out with a bang.
