ok, obviously that site got the info from that Nicko interview done by Eddie Trunk last August (see the blog entry linked to the album). So it's all based on speculations, cause all that Nicko said was
"So we'll do a mini-tour [...] Then we'll take a little bit of time off at the end of the summer, and the general plan is — I'm not sure, timeframe-wise — but towards the end of next year, we'll write and record a new album. Then, I guess that will place us in 2006"
see, no news to us, as the producer was just made up by the site obviously.
