    It's really good, right up there with Funny the Way It Is as far as singles go.

    Out of the new batch of turds this was the one I liked the most - it sounds good. It's nothing mind blowing, but it's absolutely not bad. I think a 6/7 is a perfect rating.

    good! i'm glad you like it, and hopefully the studio versions of the rest of them will boost your ratings as well

    Definitely an 8. Solid song, well produced, and Carter's drumming is phenomenal!

    If you pre-ordered the album where can you download it?! Kind of frustrated they seem to have released it on YouTube as a video, but haven't given people that paid for a pre-order a link to download it....

    It’s the definition of a 5 for me.

    Nothing to hate about it but nothing remarkable either.

    I find it repetitive both musically and lyrically and it never really goes anywhere.

    I’d describe it was boring.

    That's about right. 6/6.5 is where I'd put it. It'll probably drop down to a 5/5.5 when it's not new and exciting anymore.

    Couple of things:

    First, I love your name

    Second, I think part of the problem is releasing singles early... When played with the rest of the album, perhaps it sets a good tone.

    Third, Have you really never been to a show?

    Thanks

    I definitely agree, all of my favorite albums I love every song and appreciate hearing it in the context of the full album. But, when you play songs live for years before they make it on a album this ship has kind of sailed.

    Yeah, I’ve been seeing them since 92

    With Can't Stop being track 2, I could see myself at some point skipping tracks 1 and 2. I don't think Can't Stop will impress me.

    I was expecting more- horns and strings mostly, didn’t like Tim’s solo, Carter’s drumming was a saver but this song is just slightly too slow tempo- but all in all no better than what we have heard live - maybe a 6 (just).

    Ok single but a weak album opener, expect something like this mid album

    The studio version feels more like a Some Devil tune to me than a DMB tune.

    Gaucho has a really good rift and music actually. Carter is fantastic on that song. the lyrics can be trashed because they are bad imo.

    Agreed, but I'm liking it. Heard it in Charlotte in '16 and looking forward to the remainder of the album. Less than a month to go

    Do you see any song on the album higher than a 7? I'd be shocked.

    What was the last 9 that you heard from the band?

    I gave it a 6, but heavily debated giving it a 7. Also, I didn't realize Gaucho was so universally hated. I like it, except for the kids. Definitely Gaucho > Sam Cop, imo.

    Gaucho would be a good song if it weren't for that chorus. It kills it for me. It's so unimaginative.

    "We gotta do much more than believe, if we really wanna change things."

    I can feel my own eyes roll back in my head every time I hear it.

    Gave this one an extra point because even though there are a few things 'missing'—a more melodic horn part and strings—I think it delivers as a "We're back" song. It had a lot riding on it as the first taste of the album, and it really didn't disappoint. I'd say the same thing about Funny; wasn't even in the top three of the album for me, but it succeeded in getting me pumped for the album and excited about DMB again in a way that, say, Mercy and American Baby didn't. I don't think this effect diminishes over time either; every time I listen to Funny, I'm taken back to Spring of '09 and I feel a bit of that excitement.

    Kinda defines 2016 though, for those unhappy with the election. Funny it was published in 2012.

    No clue, I'll have to hear them first.

    Not sure, TBH. MAYBE Snow Outside? That song is legit. It's probably not a 9, but it's really good... and recent.

    I'd put Beach Ball at a 9. I think that song is the most classic DMB sounding song in a long time.

    Opening track, Saving the horn explosion for Can't Stop. I enjoy Broken Things as an album opener more, but Samurai is still a very enjoyable listen. 7

    As someone who first cut his teeth on Everyday, I really like this track. Like it a lot actually.

    I'm hopeful for this new album, trying to be optimistic. Just don't want it to turn out to be another Stand Up or AFTW. Both of those have great songs but both also have several duds.

    We have to accept that BTCS was the last true DMB album that encompassed the band's sound and lyricism as it was meant to be.
