Re: In Light of Fluffy's Thread (in DMBc)...
I am not sure how I feel about them laying a bunch of stuff down, going on tour and then coming back to it. It seems to me, and someone more knowledgeable correct me if necessary, but didn't they do this with the aborted album effort late in 2007? They laid a bunch of stuff down, took a break, and then scrapped everything?
Now, if they take some of the newer, more complete material on the road and develop it, and then want to scrap that stuff, go right ahead; I'm not saying they should be married to the work they have alredy done if it needs improvement. But, tastes change, and I would be concerned if they set aside the studio work to go on tour, and then come back and decide that they really didn't like anything they did.
I will be interested to see what kind of hand, if any, Tim has had in writing music for this album. I still think its up in the air whether he is just in there laying down some fills/short solos, or whether he is substantively involved.
