Thank you. I'm positive he said it publicly so I appreciate that someone else remembers. If we both remember, someone will eventually find the interview/podcast wherever he said it.

If casual fans won't hear it, who is it really for? I think it's clear Dave's late 2020 enthusiastic quotes around the sessions were in a writing high-- time and road testing have revealed that haul to be nothing special.
That's more or less how I feel. If anyone was really that excited about the album we'd have heard it a year ago. My guess is that whatever comes out eventually will only slightly resemble whatever Dave was so excited about in late 2020. If it really his decision, fine I guess. But knowing how this stuff works leads me to believe that at some point it was suggested/decided/required to record more, mix more, look again to old sessions, record more, mix more etc etc. I know some of you have heard that the band wants the album to be cohesive, and that may very well be the end result, but I will use the word that I've heard used to describe the album by someone working on it: piecemeal.

Can't help but wonder what else is out there. I don't know what tracks it'll be, but there will be more DMB leaks in the future. Too many random people have this or that for there not to be more significant leaks. Instead of fretting over past leaks, perhaps they should consider themselves lucky that they haven't had more leaks?
