Now they're probably gonna release this on 2009 which means three years after Rather Ripped, a pop record, and they're about to release two new SYRs.
I predict a harsh noise / jazzcore album coming

Despite a lot of catchy songs, I think Washing Machine is a very experimental song. Don't forget that "Diamond Sea" was the biggest "hit" from that album (including the song they made a video for)! The title track is also awash with noisy goodness (pun semi-intended...)
Washing Machine came on the tail of their arguably least experimental album to date (the one with "experimental" in the title, those wacky kids!) and after that one and Dirty, WM was totally a return to Sonic "we ain't gonna break in the charts so we better stop trying and just do what we do best" Youth. Sure it's got "Becuz", but A Thousand Leaves has got "Sunday" which is significantly more poppy really.
Which all doesn't mean you might not be right about what they'll do next (never can tell with them, thankfully). I just hate to see my favorite album from the '90s (except arguably SYRs 3 & 4) mis-characterized.
