Confession time: I'm so social media-challenged that I don't have a clue how these things work on FB, so I didn't realize Jon was going to be answering the questions verbally. (Yeah, I know... It's sad.) I thought he was posting replies to the comments; so I scrolled thru the posts to read the questions, looking for replies from Jon. (Stop laughing!)
Almost lost in the avalanche of posts that never got around to actually asking anything because they were too busy using the Q&A as an opportunity to gush or to request that Jon say "hi" to someone, there were a few decent questions and even a couple of brave souls who either took Rosa3 seriously (or thought of it on their own) and asked Jon about his voice or asked if the rest of the album was going to be like THINFS and Knockout and why there wasn't more promotion for Knockout.
Among those rare questions there was one (from one of the rarer guys, I believe) who asked if the band was ever going to rock again or write songs like the ones on HAND or TD. It was politely phrased, iirc, but it was still clear that the poster wasn't impressed with the direction the band had been taking recently. Since that was the only question I remember that directly mentioned the music, other than THINFS and Knockout, and the guy cited those two albums, specifically, as examples of the kind of music he'd like to see the band do again, I wonder if Jon may have picked up on that question and that's why he referred to those two albums, specifically, in his response.
I never did see Jon's verbal response, so I'm just going by what I've seen posted here. For all I know, it could even have been that guy's question he was responding to. But seeing the posts here about why he may have chosen to compare the new album to those specific albums, and then recalling how that question had stood out to me as I was scrolling, it made me wonder if Jon had made the same connection.
Just a thought...
