I shouldn't have to stop going to shows after all of these years because they insist on playing ten songs that are bad, four that are average, and three that are good. They know their last few albums have been shitty, how could they not.
And you are right, no one made me buy the albums or tickets, and I do not intend to unless proven wrong about what they write while in the studio. However, it does not mean I can't have an opinion simply because it isn't the same as yours. Because I won't spend anymore money does not mean I can't complain about the waste of money that they past few years have been. It may be dissenting from yours and the rest of the DMB ass kissers but it doesn't mean mine can't be expressed.

This is where some fans are nothing more than DMB apologists. You are willing to keep telling everyone don't worry, they really are committed to making a better album. They road tested songs so it has to be good.
Well the songs they wrote for Stand Up were god awful, as are all of the songs that they have written since. 27, Cornbread, Shotgun, etc aren't worth the ticket price and its a shame that the eternal optimists out there are going to bury their heads in the sand and dump money out for insipid lyrics and boring ass music. Compare the last three years setlists at Riverbend to the setlists at the Gorge, SPAC, and Alpine and tell me that they dont produce better setlists and songs for those venues than others.
No Last Stop, Sweet Up and Down, JTR, Big Eyed Fish, Digging a Ditch, Dreaming Tree, Granny, Joy Ride, Pig, Proudest Monkey, Raven, Say Goodbye, or So Right. Thats damn near enough to fill an entire set. Instead for the last three years we in Cincy have gotten plenty of Bayou, Where are you Going, Too much -> So much to say, Hunger, and Dreamgirl. Hell they were booed when they left the stage in 2006 because the show was so bad.
