If the art is as the billboard shows (a human face made of dots), that actually fits well with the supposed album title.

With the underscores on the billboard, it also seems like they may be going for an "electronic" mood regarding album art (more possible connection to title). Kinda like computer code. May be a hint for future music videos.

Beach related is close.


The album cover is actually Stephen pumping iron at Muscle Beach in Venice by his nearby home in L.A. It'll look something like this:

I'm having trouble connecting the electricity theme to a beach but... digital beach???

why would they do the billboard AND the website reveal if it wasn't the artwork. makes about 0 sense. Anyone can come here and say things as if they know.

And why would they "reveal" the name yesterday and then blow the lid on the album art the next, and make no announcement? It's gotta be coming... maybe for the third announcement tonight?

Probably right, but then again, the billboard doesn't name the band or the album. It's only a billboard for hardcore fans. It's not really an "ad" IMO. The billboard show the top half of the pic being revealed this week. Not the bottom half though. The bottom half could still be missing almost everything and change the entire context. IDK, just speculation :)
Throw your faith in me. I'll take you some place brand new....
