Re: People being biased

i think that if the cd is good enough, even the most tight assed person around here would say it could be as good as the Big 3

but if the new cd isn't as good.....watch out!!! the tissues will be flying!

    If they use the majority of the road tested material for 06 and 07, I can't picture myself saying "this is better than something from the big 3." I just can't do it.

    EDIT: Majority meaning even 5 tracks or more.

    Why even aim that high?

    Being better than Everyday would be a workable start for them at this point.

    Being as good as the Big 3 just sounds laughable at the moment.

    DMB is so past the big 3 anymore... they just need to start making better music. Ditch Butch and the fat trumpet player, locate Roi's sax, and make sure Dave doesn't listen to pop radio for about a year.

    At this point I am anticipating a guest spot from Daughtry on the album.

    Throw in '04 and you could however, be landing number 4 above BS/Everyday -- which ever way you rank those too -- and that would be showing something from the band.

    Putting old songs on a new album shows laziness IMO.

    The 04 songs should stay dead.

    How old are you talking? Granny old, yes. Crazy Easy old, hopefully not. I don't think the 04's should die, at all.

    Heck, Crash was a lazy album then, with that reasoning.

    I think it should be a full album of new songs, with maybe 1 or 2 road tested songs making teh cut.

    04 songs are done.

    Or three. Sugar Will (I know its a personal favorite of yours ) Crazy Easy and Shotgun.

    ...but that probably won't happen. We'll probably know a good chunk of the material.

    Time will tell...

    You could throw a #27 into my list, too. Break Free really needs work on the lyrics.

    ....yeah -- I thought I'd pipe in and say that people are getting sick of the same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..... and there is just this big upsurge from a new style coming out of Europe -- it's pretty easy to find, just put 'euro club hits' into itunes or check this link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/M...Club+Hits+Vol+

    I say it won't live up just because the big 3 are so great/perfect.what dMb is all about... That being said, I feel like this albumwill be more positively received by the fan base.

    Sorry if it's already been said, but I didn't have time to read through. Anyway, I think most people are looking to recieve this as a good album. The bad thing is that I've seen so many posts about this song and that song being on the new CD that they have to make it a 3 disc release to please everyone.

    If you mean 90% as in people that started listening when Crash came out.. then OK, Id buy that. But not people who had been listening pre -UTTAD.

    And in turn fans were angry about Crash when it came out because they thought that DMB should not have put a lot of live staples on an album.
    The fan base came around very quickly. I don't remember there being an exodus of fans at all.

    Man, I hope you are right.

    I think if this new album is on par with Some Devil it will be regarded as a phenomenal piece of work. I actually think the reason Some Devil isn't currently viewed as such is because the band wasn't involved.

    My opinion is.....if this album can't even top Everyday Dave should go solo and salvage any chance of being considered a force in the music world.

    i gotta agree with everything you said there, some devil is great work. and i think if this album is that good, it could be 4th in line.

    While I do believe it's possible, it's a very tall order. Not to mention just how varying people's lists for the Big 3 really are.

    This is mine.......

    1. Lilly's
    2. Before These Crowded Streets
    3. Crash

    I hate not having UTTAD in there but I do feel it is superior in writing but inferior as an album do to production.

    I love Typical Situation.

    I think what is more than likely than anything is that the boards will be talking about "The Big 4" instead of the big 3
