I don't use Twitter as it has always seemed a bit pish to me so I haven't see his other comments.

However, you can only go with the information at hand so if he's not sounding pumped about it in response to this and other questions he's being asked, and also claiming it's a mixed bag of a record (which is what he implied), you can't go away thinking it's going to be the awesome album we've all been waiting for.

We all know Richie sucks at interacting online with his fans but if he really is giving uninspired and unenthusiastic responses to the odd question he chooses to answer, why would anybody buy into it?

The passion you would anticipate he is putting into the record isn't evident in his discussions about it. I'd have hoped you wouldn't be able to shut him up about it considering he's been wanting to do another one for so long!
