Alright, we're going to get a lot of release date rumors in the next few months. baudolino just sent one in
from CDstarts, a German music store, with a March release date.
We just don't have time to post about all of them, and it's only going to get more confusing (see also our news about the revolving guitarist lineup), so in reference to a release date, take Trent's advice as posted on nin.com
last may: "until you see a release date on [nin.com], assume it's false."
