Do we think it will be the whole album this Friday or just a single ?

My guess is it'll be the entire album. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to do a week's worth of teases and build up all this hype just to make a release date announcement. That would be such an anticlimactic letdown. Then again, this is the Hip we're talking about. They're not exactly known for thinking outside the box when it comes to putting out records, so I also wouldn't be shocked if all we get on Friday is an announcement.

Please, for the love of humanity, let it be the full album. All this teasing and waiting is drivin' me nuts. When Wilco did their surprise album drop last summer, it was just the digital version that was initially available, and then the CD/vinyl versions were released a couple weeks later in stores. My hope is that the Hip are doing something similar on Friday.
