So to recap what's been discussed on the "new interview w/ Tim Reynolds" thread [per greyson1289 & BruceW]:

- New album in 2021: 100% [BruceW countering w/ 'never say 100% with this band lol]

- Bismarck to be included: Source heard close to or finished recording so he expects it to be on new album [BruceW adding this is 3rd source now mentioning this tune for the album]

- All new or 'nearly new' for the album

- Single prior to Raleigh tour opener: Was told "very likely." Similar to 2012 and Gaucho release prior to TX shows [band is hopeful for this]

I’m still pissed I witnessed plastic girl form the pit….or at all rather.

I think that the hate for Plastic Girl is overblown. The outro to that song is fantastic. Tim's guitar and the horns. It's really good. Lyrics suck, but the music is good (which could be said for a lot of Dave's songs). Even as is, I'd 100% of the time rather hear Plastic Girl at a concert than Can't Stop or Come Tomorrow.

I actually really don't mind Plastic Girl either...I also would love to hear more of Be Yourself after the Come Tomorrow tease

Whatever it takes! Bruce your nothing is ever 100% comment has me worried! Was that mainly just a joke?

Not a joke. I believe there will be an album this year, but history has forced us to understand that it’s never 100% until it’s in our hands.

People believed the same in 00, 04, 07, 15/16 etc.

Re: single

Do any insiders have any idea what song might be a single? Surely the band/management would have it narrowed to a couple choices at this point

I can't possibly understand why people would want to hear more of Plastic Girl and Be Yourself. They should go the way of the Dodo bird (not the song).

I like the Be Yourself horn section...that's about it.

We have no song names besides Bismarck at this point, so I don't think anyone really knows. Maybe Bismarck will be a single - who knows.

Yup - this.

Yup Bismarck is a single
Or yup no one knows?

agree with both of you. never understood the hatred for the song. terrible unfinished lyrics but great melody, cool intro and verse riff for dave this late in his career, nice outro, different utilization of the horns and dig what Tim is playing with the effects.

Everyone’s defense of Plastic Girl is always “it’s good minus the lyrics”. Yeah, but it had lyrics! I was at the debut and laughed the whole way thru it, much like a lot of people in attendance.
