I for one am extremely pissed at Raine for not being a 100% completely perfect human being and Tweeting to fans every 5 minutes about everything, including his unintentional mistakes in judgment about music releases.

Gee, what an asshole!
Wait, you didn't hear? Raine is a perfect human being. Otherwise why would we worship him like it's been said we do?

“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida
Ehhh, I'm gonna side with Teedus on this one. I mean, not necessarily that Raine should keep us updated as well as we'd all prefer, but the general sentiment of his post is pretty fair. Expectations were set, and then not met. Yes, we've all learned to expect this from the band, and that's cool and we can make jokes about the next album in 2020 and so on, but I don't think it's crazy for him to be a little let down in these situations. And he expressed his disappointment pretty respectfully, as far as I can see.
Dunno, just sayin'. I think we're being a little harsh on the guy.
I just wanna get out,
Stuck inside of this.
Waiting for something else,
Looks like Raine (along with Chantal and Strombo) is taking some time to do his part for the Polar Bears in Churchill in a couple weeks. Look for tweets about that...and remember it's a good thing people!
