Re: New Album Chances Now?

A lot of people here are committed to the idea that there has to be a big album tour after the release.

The band may not share that mentality.

    To my knowledge, in years like 2006, the songs were more sporadically tested on the road. It seems like when they drop 3+ new songs on the first night of a summer tour that an album is pretty far in the works. Obviously this is not full proof, but at least follows a logical timeline,

    Long story short, this year fits the timeline more like 2009 and 2012 which led to albums very soon.
    This isn't what he's calling road testing. In the case of Big Whiskey and Away from the world, those albums were already recorded in studio by the time they were playing the songs live. The album hadn't come out yet, but the words were written, everything was recorded... we were all just waiting on the marketing machine basically, maybe some mastering.

    Way back in the day (and I'm saying this not having been there, but just listening to tapes and following the timeline), they would take songs out on the road when an album was really just an idea... Words would change, instrumental parts would develop. They would almost decide how a song worked best and then take their favorites/favorite versions to the studio. They really are two different things...

    True, but we really have no idea where they are in the process of this album. It could be written and recorded. Just because they haven't informed us about it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    We know they've recorded with an orchestra for a new album. We know they worked on songs in the studio with the exact same names as the songs they played Saturday night. We know Jeff posted a picture on Instagram less than 2 months ago at Studio B hinting very heavily it was DMB related. Could the album be scrapped or in early stages? Absolutely. Could it be way further along than we think? Absolutely.

    Once again, the current time table is extremely similar to BWGK and AFTW. This leads me to think an album is closer than further away.

    Re: New Album Chances Now?

    Bismarck, Bob Law, and Here On Out (not played yet) were recorded in the studio with an orchestra a while back. another user has said it was finished in late 2014 and shelved. I'd say it's pretty done and at that time they decided not to release it. Things might change with these new debuts and the reaction to them. They might go back in the studio to tweak it, but I think what was the album is pretty done. Whether or not we ever get it is left to be seen.

    I'm sorry but Tim's riff in the verse is pitiful and for me, dismisses everything else going on musically, and I like Tim, I can see what he was doing with BlackJack outro or SDL outro or If Only outro layering a circular guitar lick over the music.....but with Be Yourself I can't feel anything.

    Would love an album of:
    A Dream So Real
    Sugar Will
    Bismarck
    Black and Blue Bird
    The Idea of You
    Samurai Cop
    Virginia in the Rain
    Bob Law
    Shotgun
    Here On Out (other song on that chart we haven't heard, but it sounds like a good album ending title

    Maybe it won't be a "regular" studio album but it will be the long rumored (and band publicly discussed) Live Not Live album to hold us over in 2017 but still mixed with a couple new tunes

    I'm still shocked no one has asked anyone in the band or anyone associated to them within the last 5 months!

    The radio silence on this is so frustrating!

    I think it'll look more like this. Gorge N3 2016 will be the last show for a while.

    Early 2017: Studio time to tweak/finish album
    Later 2017: Special event shows including Labor Day at The Gorge
    Late 2017: Album announcement
    Spring 2018: Album release/10 show east coast album tour
    Summer 2018: 20-25 show tour that becomes the model going forward

    I don't see them doing any shows together next year. I really see them actually taking the year off.

    Unless someone's addiction and/or alimony gets to be too expensive so they play a few shows to cover the costs.

    I very highly doubt this. They seem sure they want to take the year off. Boyd's recent comments solidify it even more. They know 2011 wasnt a true year off and they need one.

    Predicting that Be Yourself will be on the album. Book it.

    They pretended like they were going to take 2011 off when they announced it in 2010. That didn't last long. To say they won't play a single concert in 2017 seems insane.

    I think it's completely different. 2011 was a 20th anniversary year, and it was like they didn't realize that when they announced the year off. So along came the Caravans. This time, there isn't some big milestone year coming. I'm not going on record to say that I think they'll definitely play no shows.. but I do think that we won't see anything like we saw in 2011. I think this break may stick.
