In Light of Fluffy's Thread (in DMBc)...

What does this mean for DMB studio progress. Fluffy's thread mentioned that TRS will be heading into the studio to record a new album in the next week or so. What does this tell us about the DMB studio effort, if anything?

Has Tim already laid down his parts? Is the album close to finished? Is the album on hold/will take longer than expected?

I guess another possibility is that TR3 is recording their album in the vicinity of the DMB studio, and Tim can do double duty.

Thoughts on this?

    i really hope it means they are done with the bulk of the work. i really hope they didnt do a big chunk and are going to change things after the tour. that to me says they arent confident in what they put down and still see room for improvement. id much rather they be done and play finished products the whole summer instead of "road testing" and then doing more work after the tour.

    Thats what I think too. Did a lot for now, will test them out and record any new ones and/or finish up the other ones before it coming out around christmas or early next year.

    I don't really get the whole road testing thing anymore. To me, if we look at the 2000 songs and then at the 2004 songs, road testing seems to mean that they play the hell out of the songs every night until they are sick of them... then they scrap the songs in favor of quick and easy ones and release those instead.

    like i have said before

    these march-may recording sessions with cavallo are exactally that. RECORDING SESSIONS. The band has had several studio sessions in the last few years, but this time they went out to seattle with cavallo to finish and record the final product for the album

    I can understand road testing new material for the year before you into the studio, get it ready to record.......but once you go into the studio to lay stuff down, that should be it. whats the point of even spending this amount of time in the studio only to do it all over again at the end of the summer. how many sessions do they really need?

    Jake has said a couple of times that this album is no where near done, and that info will slowly trickle about it but not to expect too much.

    at this point no one knows anything. we have what jake has told us, and there are people out there saying the opposite. so in general, no one really knows at this point. just waiting on some new info.

    i can't see it. i dont think RCA would allow that to happen. if they were signed with a more independent company... maybe.

    of course, jake and the gang could have this huge conspiracy against us and know the whole time that its coming out right before the tour starts and are just laughing at us now

    bingo.

    They have had plenty of studio time. Look at btcs! i may be wrong, but that didn't take a year in the studio to complete.

    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.

    if it were done, they'd release it this summer. since they're not, it has to be a work in progress.

    ..which to me is a very good thing

    I dont even think you can say that at this point. If the tour rolls around and there has been no news ill believe it, but right now my mind says it could come out soon, or later, who knows.

    They did this late '05/early '06, late '06, early '07, and then supposedly late '07 as well. They've spent so much time in the studio since 2005 with nothing to show for it it's ridiculous.

    I'd say they're done for now, sure-- enough time to give them all a break before the tour starts. But I'd imagine that the real bulk of the work will be done after the tour and the tour will be used as a means to keep the new songs fresh, and explore with them in an environment other than the studio.

    yeah, and i think, in this case, tim is on tour to help develop the songs.

    I tend to agree with this line of thought.


    Has Tim ever gotten a writing credit on any studio track?
