Hey guys, long time no see. The wait between GL and AL was exciting for me because I had re-discovered her just at the beginning of GL album cycle. Now I rather feel indifferent. If she gets out a new album, great. If she doesn't, I can understand that too.

See, even though I have quite a few other artists I listen to at this point besides Avril, I think if she announced she wasn't going to release a new album or release anything for another year or 2, I would be very disappointed. I've followed her pretty much since the beginning of her career and seriously began following her in GL era. I always follow everything in an album cycle, watch all the interviews and performances, etc. I enjoy that and I don't really do that with every artist I like, just a few. If she wasn't coming out with a new album anytime soon (as in several years), it would be like something is missing for me. I think out of every artist I like I enjoy following her career and album eras the most.

I always look forward to photoshoots and stuff of her but she has had really none of those compared to every other year, just some instagram selfie. It does feel strange

I think that the lack of photoshoots is just because she isn't really doing much of anything right now, although even the Abbey Dawn shoots have been very simplistic in comparison to those in the past. Either she/her team can't afford to do more professional shoots right now or maybe she just isn't up for it. I fully expect when she has new music to release that there will be proper shoots again though. And hopefully for this next collection of AD maybe they will do a better shoot too.

I might be honest and tell this gap is not as bad as I thought it would be at this point when we knew about Lyme disease. The self-titled era was not what we expected, and I'm confident that this time she'll go all out with her music. She seems inspired and focused, and that's the first time I get this energy from her since 2010, I suppose. Overall, the wait is ok, because I have high hopes, and for her to match the fans expectations, she needs time and to get her things together. I guess we'll have around 8-10 months until the beginning of the AL6 era, and that's totally ok for me, because as much as I want new music, (I wasn't this anxious towards AL) I know what she's been through and what she needs to do to give the world her best work yet.

It doesn't particularly bother me. I wasn't a huge fan of AL and I've kind of accepted that I probably won't enjoy anything she releases as much as I did her first three albums, so anything else is really just bonus for me. I'm looking forward to whatever she does but I would rather wait longer if it (hopefully) means better quality music than her last album.

It's not saying goodbye that's hard. It's letting go.

I wasn't a fan between the TBDT and GL era, so I can't really say if this gap is worse or better than the previous one. So far, it's not unbearable for me at all. I have other artists to listen to besides Avril and a lot of stuff hapening that has kept me distracted from the fact that we've been waiting for almost 4 years for a new album.During the first two years, I was longing for new music and eagerly anticipating the release of anything new from her, but over the past year I've become less eager and more patient with the long wait.

There are more things to do so it doesn't matter. I guess the more that she's missing in action the bigger impact to me when she comeback again. I became fan for different artists but there's so much effect to me as a fan when there's anything about Avril.
We're not the only one who suffers for the long wait of a new era, Katycats too haha.

Easier, simply because this is the 3rd major delay (UMS-TBDT, TBDT-GL, AL-AL6) and I'm used to it by now. I also wasn't impressed with AL, Fly, Get Over Me, or Abbey Dawn, so I definitely don't relate to her like I did in high school and college. Plus she was sick. I've been discovering new music and living life, so whatever. A part of me also feels like this album may never happen... there have been many singers who work on an album and just eventually vanish into obscurity

I'm not too bothered - used to long waits and delays with Avril. And tbh from the last two albums her music doesn't really excite me to the point I'm really waiting for a new album, I'll listen when it eventually comes out but I'm not particularly excited to hear new stuff from her. Happy to be proved wrong though!!

Damn you just reminded me it's been over 3 years already...
Sadly her absence made me kind of distance myself from Avril more. Like more people said, I listen to and follow way more other artists now. I'm not the die hard fangirl I once used to be, but Avril will always be my #1 favourite artist.
So yeah the wait wasn't too bad for me. I just reeally hope I will like this next album. Cause Fly didn't do it for me.

It's been difficult lol but I understand with all she's been going through. I've been trying to be patient. & it's actually kinda a good thing she has had time to reflect and really focus on what makes her happy, making music! So, I respect she was taking her time to recover and also give us a special album! I can't wait for this 2017 album!
