    my main problem with standup is that it actually feels like a cut/paste job... sure that may be a creative way to make some songs but when you get something together have the band rerecord it so it doesnt sound so fucking blah and thrown together

    Yeah, that was pretty bad. I remember saying "what the hell?" when I first heard it. I want some segues like on BTCS. That would be magical.

    I have to agree that Stand Up wasn't one of their best albums but.....
    a couple of those songs sounded great this summer, now that they have been polished up a bit! Bayou, You Might Die Trying American Baby Intro,
    I thought they sounded better than I thought at first when I heard the CD.

    By definition it has to, but I think it will probably be still pretty bad.

    Yes... but thats very easily accomplished. If this album is even just ok (about Everyday quality), I think DMB needs to just hang it up and call it a day.

    I'll admit my expectations are pretty low....I think they gave up on excellence and working hard about 8 years ago.

    I would actually be impressed if they could create something worse than Stand Up.

    but are they just looking at adding them because they know we'll like them even though they are old so they don't have to worry about fully creating another song that is good?


    if loving wings is added, yeah, it will probably sound great and we'll all be happy to get a studio LW, but why should a song thats been around for several years be the reason why an album is good? the songs stefan has been talking about should be ignored when thinking about if the album is good or not. when it finally comes out, it will be a good album based on 2 things - 1) how well it was put together and 2) how good are the brand new songs

    a bad production job makes good songs (like shotgun) go bad, and bad new songs could make a good production job a waste of time.
