    either jake honestly is leading us in the right direction because thats just how it is(the album is still in the works and will take a while).............or one day we are gonna get a ton of info and then he will just let us know that he knew and couldnt tell us and was being deceptive just like dave/tim have been in interviews, leading us in the wrong direction.............come on may 12th, bring info, good or bad.

    and thats what i think is going to happen, and everyone is gonna get a laugh out of making us think it was going to be 2009, when really it was meant to be summer/fall the whole time............who knows, im optimistic for summer/fall, but wouldnt be totally surprised by fall/winter

    I would be shocked at a summer release, as I don't think the band has ever released an album that was not between September and April.

    ^^^Busted Stuff came out in July.

    I think road testing could be good or bad honestly, I'm torn. In one sense it could help the songs develop and when they go back to the studio they will be more full and reach their potential. However, I would hate for them to play stuff out to the point that 1) there is no surprise element with the album or 2) we get great material that they get tired of playing for one reason or another and we get a totally different album than planned.

    Yeah, that was the one I was unsure of. I would argue that doesn't count though, as most of the work had already been done, and they clearly didn't put in much effort to develop the material.

    I think the first single will come out some time before the mid-way point in the tour, and then maybe we'll have an exact release date, which will probably be September or October.

    As far as road-testing, I hate the idea. As artists, they could be perpetually disappointed with their work - that is why they hired Rob Cavallo. Based on the interview with him, and the studio clip we have, I think he can point them in the right direction.

    I think my point was that albums don't drop once the tour starts, historically.

    As do I . Just saying what I think is happening.

    Now if I said what I wanted the new album to look like, I'd say:

    1) JTR
    2) SUAD
    3) Loving Wings
    4) Shotgun
    5) Sugar Will
    6) Crazy Easy
    7) *new song*
    8) *new song*
    9) *new song*
    10) *new song*
    11) *new song*

    We all know what the odds of that happening are

    But no yeah I agree, I wish they'd take the summer and work with them on the road with Tim AND Rashawn.

    So, hypothetically, if they DID see room for improvement, and were NOT yet confident at the end of the summer, you'd rather them release it instead of working it out till its fixed?

    Honestly sorry if I'm misinterpreting this.

    There's no way the album is coming out this summer. For as high-profile a band as DMB is, with a big-time record label backing them, you'd hear promotion EVERYWHERE for this. The release date would be in every music magazine, every blog, and the website would be live. It's May people--the summer is just about here, and we have one video released on iLike.

    I orginally thought November for the release date, but if they go back into the studio after the tour, you won't see it until February/March 09 at the earliest.

    To me if you are going to the studio, you need to be ready to put stuff down. they have been roadtesting songs to death for the last two years, songs like 27, shotgun, IOY, they cant be played anymore. if they havent found what they want with them yet, they never will. and with writing new songs, why play them the entire summer and then put them down again. then when the album comes out we basically have heard the whole thing. if they are going to bring tim in, a hopefully competent producer, and spend this much time in the studio, this just needs to be it. I dont want them to rush this album, but how many studio sessions do you really need to find what you are looking for?

    why? they have been working with tim all spring...in the studio.

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

    Yeah, why? So they can spend another three months in the studio reshaping everything they recorded prior to the tour? Pass. If they're done--and I don't think they are--they should stand by their work and use the tour to promote the album.

I dont want them to rush this album, but how many studio sessions do you really need to find what you are looking for?
    So thats a yes. Interesting. I'd rather see how time helps the album. In Rainbows took forever to make, and it was totally worth the wait. I think it was Early 05 to mid 07, but that was almost all hard work plus one small tour. DMB has been on and off for short stints, with lots of tours.

    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.

    I hope they don't do this too much this summer. Play the new songs certain nights and don't play them both nights at a 2 night stand or all three nights at a 3 nighter. I can't stand it. Who cares if everyone won't hear the new songs, make them more special. SHIT!
