As far as I can tell, another update just saying "mixing is done" would cause frustration among the group of fans who demand updates.
You just want to hear a release date. Right?
We've been reading about how you want updates for ages now and every update so far has been "disappointing" for some of you.
1. Also, if they just announce "mixing is done" at this point, that'll mean there's gonna be a lot of "so, mastering can't take more than X days which means it'll come out on the XXth of Month Z".
What happens? A bunch of people start expecting it around that date and feel let down if it doesn't happen.
I know that doesn't apply to all fans, but it just seems like a of the expectations are based on your own theories and timetables.
2. My opinion on it is that they're working on getting it out as soon as possible. Whatever they're doing, mixing, mastering, artwork, promotion, videos or whatever else is usually done before an album is out, is not that important.

1. I agree about that part. People listens to a lot of rumors and then they talk about the long delayed album (when there wasn't any SURE release date announced, only a tentative)
2. It couldn't be important so far, but I'd like to know what they're doing. Mixing, artworking, blowing themselv... ehm re-recording (
)... whatever.
