I don't mind the roadtesting. I'd be fine hearing the whole thing live first--honestly, I wouldn't care. As long as its a quality product and that road testing helped, then let it be.

IF they arent done in the studio, I would have rather them have a late summer tour like last year and just spend more time in one sitting in the studio. i just think the going to the studio, road testing some more, and then studio again wouldnt be productive. but one long stint in the studio would be better.

More special? These are songs, a collection of notes, rhythms and words. They're not baseball cards or stamps. It's organized sound, it doesn't exactly have a value. That's just a weird statement, in my opinion.

Oh, come on....teh rarez! Songs are clearly better the less they are played/practiced.

[BigEyedFerg]

Good music is more than just organized sound... it's passion.

I think you're joking, but I'm not sure, so I'm going to rip you anyway.

Blue Water is not a better song than Lie in Our Graves or (insert any popular, solid DMB song here) just because it hasn't been played in a decade (or whatever). If Old Dirt Hill (or should I say, Bring That Beat Back) disappeared for three years, this place would be going apeshit clamoring for its return on the 2012 tour.

i loath the idea of road testing the tunes. they should be able to do it right the first time, in the studio.

they've only been successful at doing that once.

I was joking, and I agree with the portion of your post re ODH.

But, Blue Water is better than many "solid" DMB songs because it is a "great" DMB song. I don't think its better than LIOG, but its better than a lot of other older, popular songs for sure.

Some songs people want to hear because they are rare, some songs peolpe want to hear because they are fucking sick ass sick. Blue Water happens to have crossover appeal is all. Doesn't diminish how nasty it is.

Not a huge Blue Water fan myself, but I get your point. Maybe I should use Spotlight as my example.

I love Spotlight musically, but the lyrics are hit and miss.

Its always kinda sounded like a showtune to me. Like it could be in Rent or something.

Now it's time for production.

haha $20 I'm cracking up over that.

Ya know, watching the studio preview again made me think a couple of things.

1. Imagining the unknown song playing throughout as a full song on a cd blows my mind. It's one of the coolest sounding things ever, it sounds complex and layered and UH MAY ZING

2. That track had everyones parts and Dave's voice..Not to say it was finished, but that seems fairly far along in the process. That was March 27th.

I think this album is close to being finished, I don't care what Jake says

I think it could be close to being finished...if the band wants it to be. They could put something out by October/November, or wait until after the tour, go back in the studio and re-record after a summer of road testing, and delay this thing til spring 09.

that'd make it 4 years since the last studio album...seems like such a long time...

[PPBSU34]

yea, i'm sure more than just 'recording' is done.

Not really; BS wasn't really studio effort; so there were 4 years between ED and SU

I don't think you can say that.

How many millions of people heard the album that never heard of tLWS

That's some sort of version of Sugarwill.

It sounds fairly similar but it's not

well they still re-recorded all the songs for BS and they didn't use the LWS versions of the songs, so it was still a studio session.

people want it to sound like sugar will, when in all reality, its most likely not sugar will. as much as we want it to be.

I think they took Sugar Will and made it better. Even if I'm wrong, that sounds like it could be an amazing track.

[MPizzle06]

If they pulled an In Rainbows-like quick release that no one saw coming that would kick ass...as long as it's good stuff, which I'm confident it will be.

Agreed. BUT, on a lighter note, there were four years between Hail to the Theif and In Rainbows, and it was all worth it. Plus, Radiohead have mentioned plans to hit the studio up again in the fall, so it doesn't mean that all releases from here on will be 4 years apart.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
