if they haven't even entered the studio, how can anyone predict that something might not come up where the recording is further delayed?
even when they get into the studio, morrissey's albums never come out when they originally project them to come out. Maladjusted was supposed to be released around May or June but was pushed back until August. Live at Earls' Court was pushed back for nearly two months. given all of the variables, there is absolutely no way a person could say with 100% certainty what a release date for an album that won't be out until another year from now will be.
