Today is exactly 2 years to the day AFTW was released...perfect day to make this thread!
Personally, I'm hoping to see it emerge within the next nine months. I wouldn't mind Sugarwill being on it but not Shotgun; that's Lillywhite or bust material.
I hope it has at least 6 songs that are over five minutes long, and for at least one of those songs to be over 6 minutes long. The album should be at least 60 minutes long and have decent cover art, and no stupid song titles or lyrics about stuff like full bellies or belly jelly...ugh. And no kids singing! Although a female backup vocalist (bring on the Lovely Ladies!
) would be welcome.
Also, the long songs should actually be GOOD. Half of Drunken Soldier was just a pathetic excuse to make a song that reached the length of Bartender, etc.
I'm really hopeful for this record. It's rare I'm fully satisfied by a DMB record---UTTAD and BTCS are still my big favorites, although I do think a lot of their other stuff, particularly LWS, Crash and Everyday are pretty good.
