I'm not reading this the way you guys are (big surprise!) because: - They have gotten together in the studio 4-5 times and have lots of material, according to Stone. - They've toured on an off over the last 3 years, and by all experiences have been joyful events among the band
So, they are not short on material and they are not afraid of or in conflict with one another. Neither of those factors seem to be the problem.
I believe the problem is creative direction. And, yes, maybe they just don't like the material they've come up with so far. So, yeah, maybe it's a creative dry spell. Or, they just don't know how to move forward from this point, after a HoF induction and CC's passing and DT's election, I'm guessing what might be going through his mind might be that if they're going to put something out, it should add something new to the catalogue, or it should somehow encompass all of what they are feeling given the aforementioned events.
Another thought behind it is just the music industry. This is an album oriented band, and what do albums mean anymore? If they are going to spend 6 weeks finishing off their material, they don't want it to just disappear into the ether like everything these days, so what's the point? I'm thinking all of these questions might be going through their minds.

Do you guys even want a new album? Like, stop and think about it. Think about the quality of their last couple records. Think about “Can’t Deny Me”. Do you really, truly care about this? Deep down?

of course we do, RM's cynicism in growing stale, and a new album will definitely push things forward
several threads can benefit from a new albums. PRAMG and Ed Art, among others.
plus, we get to see how many ocean/waves reference Ed can come up with!

I will listen to one with an open mind, but this will be the first one that I really haven't looked forward to in any way.
I always want and look forward to new stuff. In fact they just should have went Neil Young and not been precious and released 2 or 3 records in the last six years.
But man I really hope it doesn't end up being Cut The Crap level.

this band is basically broken up
they play a couple shows a year for charity
otherwise won’t even spend a few weeks together over the next 52 weeks in order to put out an album
they all have side projects
they stopped issuing a holiday single
this is what retirement looks like

I would agree to the point of the mishandling of it. The music itself for the most part is good, but production, etc. really failed it, and nothing after it was any good

The beginning of the end began the moment they (especially Ed) became self-aware and started writing songs for the fan base and for the live shows, rather than for themselves.
