Translation:
"We play a lot of unreleased songs at the moment and even if I'm anxious to reveal them as well, it allows us to test them, even if they are then edited in the studio. But we have finally finished our new album, it should even be mixed when we land at Bercy. He is rather wild, brutal, radical but relaxed ..."

It is indeed completed according to that quote! In addition to accounts that Ed has given in an Italian interview.
In this time-frame the album could easily be out by January, this was the same case for Push The Button in 2005 with the 2004 tour leading up to the album's release, let's hope the brothers repeat that! (or release it this year god willingly)
Question mark in thread title removed then :)
Great news!
guess I gotta put my eye on the official site for when preorders come around
The news is just as beautiful in French!
"Mais nous avons enfin bientôt terminé notre nouvel album, il devrait même être mixé au moment où nous débarquerons à Bercy. Il est plutôt sauvage, brutal, radical mais détendu..."

Just make it a december to remember! Tom and Ed dressed like Santa Claus putting copies of the album under the tree. I left cerveza and burritos for them near the door.

The translation is not very accurate. It says : "the album is about to be finished".

True, but then it does also say that it's being mixed at the moment.
Certainly sounds like the songs are finished. It's just the final tweaking before it goes off to be mastered at The Exchange.
I'm not sure "relaxed" really fits in with those other descriptive words. We shall see...
Anyway, nice to see y'all itching for a release in time for Christmas. At the risk of being a Chritmas party pooper, I'd be surprised if Universal would move it forward, assuming the album was already planned for a 2019 release. No significant albums get released in December. The bid for Christmas success starts by November at the latest, which doesn't leave much time. Don't go holding your breath now!

Don't you never ever talk bad again about Mariah Carey!
