Stand Up - Hello Again Discussion

[JimiThang1]

It's up at the warehouse...

[Jordan#41]

It's Up

[musicfreak21]

I like.

[DMB1541]

Damn, you beat me to it... But man, I really like the sound of this one. This is exactly how I pictured it would sound in the studio. Very excited about hearing the whole thing.

Chris

[Noles20]

I am at school, I can't listen until I get home!!!

[sdaltons]

I am at school, I can't listen until I get home!!!

:thumbsup My thoughts exactly. Luckily I'll be home soon.

[Chaddington]

Ooo... harmonizing.

[cmdace18]

wow, usually the sound clips are up around 2pm or 3pm .. this means seat locations are for later today!! WOOT WOOT!! (HOPEFULLY)

[timg1414]

interesting sound not what i was expercting but i like it

[Jordan#41]

Live is waaaaaaaaaay better

[egallo]

I like the backup vocals

[CarterBoydBear]

I'm not sure about the harmonies, but in general I like it. I could see this being a pretty strong radio release, could anyone else see that? It'd be a good song for the mainstream radio to be playing.

[Noles20]

I figured out how to get it on my office computer. Tough to tell on these crappy speakers, but the backing vocals sound cool.

[Nitro1515]

I like how they changed it up for the studio version, gives it a little fresher sound. The live version still can't be beat though.

[chrisandiego]

"Here we go..."

[Ruvo11]

i like all the random talking in the background. kind of like WWYS, or that Weezer song

[bilpushn]

its got more of a bluegrass feel to it.

[mryark]

Is it just me, or does this song sound like it doesn't really fit well with the rest of the songs we have heard? The other songs have a MUCH different sound than Hello Again. I feel like DMB just thought they had to use a song they had been playing over the summer, but I really don't think it fits well with the new "sound". Again thats just my opinion...what do you all think?

[wiebrod]

I like how they changed it up for the studio version, gives it a little fresher sound. The live version still can't be beat though.
I agree, I don't think anything will beat the live version so there really wasn't any need to try and copy that, I think that this version is fresh, interesting and not necessarily the greatest, but I love the song and it will continue to be awesome. Looking at all of the clips knowing what Hello Again is like live and hearing pieces of the last couple clips, I think album is going to be outstanding, especially live, and even for a guy that liked everday I don't know how people compare the sound of this album to everyday.

[jay41]

Not bad, not sure how I feel about the harmonizing/background vocals, but it's still a kick-ass song

[ericvol]

I love this song, Have ever since the first time I heard it. I think this would do good on the radio as well! Wish it were longer tho:-(

[road_designer]

"Here we go..."

damn! I was gonna quote that.

Again thats just my opinion...what do you all think?

I see what you are saying and that's what a lot of people at the listening parties have said, I think that almost every track we've heard so far in the clips have sounded like a different "sound" from each other and this is just another "sound" of the album.

[Noles20]

I can see that.

[beband]

ooooooohhhhhhwwwwwwhhhhhhheeeeee!!!!!
Me likes A LOT! This was what I was looking for!
"Here we go..." YES!
:bounce :hump :lol :monkey

[shoelessjoe910]

This is BAD-FUCKING-ASS!!! Love the vocals and the energy is so there. They did a GREAT job capturing the energy of this song!

[Noles20]

damn! I was gonna quote that.

I don't get it, clue me in...and no trivia questions! :lol

[road_designer]

This could have been on the "O, Brother..." soundtrack. :thumbsup By the way, I'm not member of the warehouse... :haha

[ericvol]

Yeah I think this album is made to show all facets of what they can do, whether its fast, slow, Funk, twangy sounding, They just want to have a versitle record showing all sides of their musical talents! Sounds like they did a great job.

[road_designer]

I don't get it, clue me in...and no trivia questions! :lol

have you not heard it?

[Noles20]

I love this song, Have ever since the first time I heard it. I think this would do good on the radio as well! Wish it were longer tho:-(

Same here. I thought Hello Again and Joyride would be huge radio hits. Maybe someday.

I think with Lousiana Bayou, it will make more sense for it being on the album. I also think it flows with Smooth Rider.

[wiebrod]

After listening to this clip I had to go back and listen to the 8/7/04 opener at Alpine Valley, what a moment. Amazing song, and I can't wait to hear it again. Another great clip, and another surge of anticipation for this album.

[JimiThang1]

I agree, I don't think anything will beat the live version so there really wasn't any need to try and copy that, I think that this version is fresh, interesting and not necessarily the greatest, but I love the song and it will continue to be awesome.

I'm not going to rush to judgement just yet because supposedly it segues on the album right into Louisiana Bayou...once I hear that i'll be able to see how both of those fit together and make a statement on their own right.

[Noles20]

have you not heard it?

Ok, I got it now.

[msb3079]

good shit.
better than i expected.. i like when he says "here we go" good shit.

[annie711pm]

This could have been on the "O, Brother..." soundtrack. :thumbsup

I was totally going to say that!:lol

[janelikes]

LOVE IT!!!! This is the best yet!

[TurboPGT]

damn that sounds good..., "Here we go..." I like it...


I'm glad they kept the heavy keys for the studio version...they made a huge difference when they started playin it live that way.

I'm getting the feeling that one day i might consider Stand Up to be DMB's second best album ever made...

...then again, who knows what there NEXT album will be like..

GASP

sorry, too soon?

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Really digging it.

It's a shame it's cut short on the album but I expect the live versions to kick some major ass, of course.

[TurboPGT]

if it really does segue into louisiana bayou they can cut it short all they want on the album....

[road_designer]

if it really does segue into louisiana bayou they can cut it short all they want on the album....

:thumbsup LB (I'll start the abbreviating) could be an instant classic if it segues out of HA.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Carter sounds great and the organ balance in the chorus is pretty good. The background vocals work. Well produced.

These clips have gotten progressively better, I am totally looking forward to this album and especially the tour.

:thumbsup

[DriveOut]

I like it, but the one thing that's kind of weird is that how on the first songs we got clips of, Dave's voice sounded rough and raspy, while on the one song where it probably should sound that way, it sounds a lot cleaner. Live is definitely where it's at with Hello Again, but I think this is a great studio cut (really digging the random voices in the background and the "here we go"). It definitely sounds even more twangy and southern rock than I expected.

[jr_cigar]

i really don't like it

[wiebrod]

I've been real interested to hear Louisianna Bayou just because of the name, but from reading what you guys have to say I can't wait to hear it if it would be a great segue with Hello Again. This clip like all of the ones I've heard keep getting better the more I listen and now I'm excited to hear Louisianna Bayou

[JonahB41]

oh man, that is so fucking fresh. the backup vocals sound great and im glad theyre there, we all know the live version inside out by now, why would we want the same thing on a studio album? damn thats tight,
j

edit: also just realized, unless im mistaken, this is the first real constant vocal effect (assuming that it goes throug the rest of the song) since UTTAD with Rhyme and Nancies. of course theyve used them before with echoes and stuff, but im reminded of old school here

[bartender1162]

sorry, too soon?

"That joke was lamer than FDR's legs..."

:lol

oh, and on the clip, i only have on thing to say:

double damn.

[road_designer]

i really don't like it

then stop pretending to be a fan.

[shoelessjoe910]

No-no's are available!

[Kyle#41_7985]

can anybody figure out what Dave is saying at the beginning of the clip? It sounds histerical whatever it is.

I really love this clip-it's fresh, has a good amount of energy, and you can really tell they were having fun when they recorded it.

[road_designer]

No-no's are available!

Do you have this one, shoeless?

[Limegreenbooger]

this song was, and continues to be, badass. The only thing I can say is that Dave sounds like he needs his adenoids out - or some zyrtec.

[shoelessjoe910]

Do you have this one, shoeless?
Uh huh!!!

[road_designer]

Uh huh!!!

you're welcome, again. ;)

[Orpheus]

We are in for such a treat... This is the album I've been waiting for DMB to make since 1998...

2 weeks to go!! :)

[goochylittlepig]

Damn, you beat me to it... But man, I really like the sound of this one. This is exactly how I pictured it would sound in the studio. Very excited about hearing the whole thing.

Chris
same here. i like the little changes i can hear, but im glad they kept the song true to its summer performances. very happy this made it on the album.

[shoelessjoe910]

Someone has an email to read....;)

[road_designer]

Someone has an email to read....;)


someone got an email. thanks, bud.

[goochylittlepig]

i like all the random talking in the background. kind of like WWYS
:thumbsup

[ryguy178]

I like the more bluegrassy feel they kind of gave it, "Here we go now..."

We have so many versions of this song already however that if I don't like the studio version its not really that big of a deal to me. But it sounds pretty solid, not changed much. I like.

[goochylittlepig]

I like it, but the one thing that's kind of weird is that how on the first songs we got clips of, Dave's voice sounded rough and raspy, while on the one song where it probably should sound that way, it sounds a lot cleaner. Live is definitely where it's at with Hello Again, but I think this is a great studio cut (really digging the random voices in the background and the "here we go"). It definitely sounds even more twangy and southern rock than I expected.
yeah, i was thinking about that in the car this morning, listening to how raspy he is on some of those clips, and wondering if he was really losing his voice or if it was intentional for the songs. i guess this proves he definitely still has his voice.

just something to consider, tho, is that this clip is just the beginning of hello again. from the listening party clip of hello again, at the end, he's definitely screaming it up. it was like the only thing i could really make out from those clips. i love the twangy and the beat to this song, and i think if it started out with a raspy dave voice, it'd take away from it.

[goochylittlepig]

then stop pretending to be a fan.
lmao. excellent :thumbsup

[jr_cigar]

then stop pretending to be a fan.
Am I not allowed to dislike one of their songs? The organs are brutal... ugh.

[pmag78]

I like the backup vocals


:thumbsup :thumbsup

I agree! Sounds like Boyd and Leroi got some background vocals on this one. Maybe even Stefan got the chance to sing some vocals. Rumor has it that he still background vocals for the first time on this album.

[road_designer]

Am I not allowed to dislike one of their songs? The organs are brutal... ugh.

c'mon dude. This song is great and it IS this band. If you don't like it then this isn't the band for you. Nothing wrong with that.

[CZmanz19]

This song is alot different from the rest of the clips. I like it, its got a nice change to it.

[jr_cigar]

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I agree! Sounds like Boyd and Leroi got some background vocals on this one. Maybe even Stefan got the chance to sing some vocals. Rumor has it that he still background vocals for the first time on this album.

for some reason, the idea of stefan singing background vocals conjures up images of timmy from south park singing on a dmb track. sta... st... s...sta...stand up fellas.

You know nothing about me. I don't know where you get off saying something like that. You can think its the greatest song in the world. To me, that isn't the band. That's mark batson going overboard with the f'n organ and draining the energy outta the song. I dont' have to like every single on of their songs to be a fan of the band. If I were like that, if anyone were like that, well then u prolly got some denial problems.

[road_designer]

True, I don't know you. I don't think it's the greatest but I do think it is symbolic of genuine DMB style. Batson didn't go overboard with anything on this song. How do you know Dave didn't say, "hey, this needs some organ". Besides that, I don't even hear the organ that much. No you don't have to like every single but the STYLE is what I'm referring to.

[darbini]

can't wait to hear this tomorrow :rolleyes :violent

on a side note: I just heard Stolen Away for the first time and it is brilliant. The vocal melody with the music is outstanding. I'm loving this clips.

[TurboPGT]

c'mon dude. This song is great and it IS this band. If you don't like it then this isn't the band for you. Nothing wrong with that.

:thumbsup I can see not liking certain things that DMB has done

But if you're not going to like THIS....then wtf are u doing here?


Hello Again is one of those songs that officially cannot suck....it is awesome...

and the organ is badass





"...are you sure it was a book? are you sure it wasn't....nothing?"

"oh yeah"

[road_designer]

can't wait to hear this tomorrow :rolleyes :violent

I LOVE hello again... at least live. I don't like what they did with it in the studio, i still like the song though. I kinda hear what you're saying, but I much prefer what they did with it live.

[road_designer]

:thumbsup I can see not liking certain things that DMB has done

I really love this clip-it's fresh, has a good amount of energy, and you can really tell they were having fun when they recorded it.

I do believe thats his best attempt at impersonating boomhower (sp?) from king of the hill


haha this song has a real cajun feeling to it, ought to be interesting to see what LB sounds like.

[TurboPGT]

That's mark batson going overboard with the f'n organ and draining the energy outta the song.


FYI whiney pants.....thats BUTCH using the same amount of organ that they started using half way through last summer to ADD energy to the song.

[road_designer]

I LOVE hello again... at least live. I don't like what they did with it in the studio, i still like the song though. I kinda hear what you're saying, but I much prefer what they did with it live.

fair enough although I think you will be in the smallest of minorities.

[jr_cigar]

^ ya but batson controls the levels.

[jr_cigar]

fair enough although I think you will be in the smallest of minorities.

ha ha, i'll survive.

[BustedJeff]

This is a great week for clips. :thumbsup

[jaromc]

I have this on repeat, and every time it gets towards the end of the clip i just pray that it will keep going. Only to be horribly dissapointed. It's Badassss...Period!!! :bounce

[goochylittlepig]

:But if you're not going to like THIS....then wtf are u doing here?

Hello Again is one of those songs that officially cannot suck....it is awesome...

i agree with you, but i dont like #41 that much. i guess you can still be a fan and not like great songs.

but i dont see how that guy thinks the organ is overboard when it was like that this summer, or why he's blaming mark for that. i also dont see how an album song is supposed to have the intensity of a live song, esp one like hello again. i mean, thats the point of dmb...

[road_designer]

It sounds like:

"what to do with all these cattle in the backyard? Hippos Simodoes???" or something like that.

[shoelessjoe910]

You know nothing about me. I don't know where you get off saying something like that. You can think its the greatest song in the world. To me, that isn't the band.

If I were like that, if anyone were like that, well then u prolly got some denial problems.
The organ has NOTHING to do with Batson man. They used it throughout the summer on this track!!! You are arguing that the energy is "drained"??? I think you were listening to a different clip from me and the rest of us. The energy is phenomenal and all over this clip!!! You liking/disliking the song is another matter and your opinion...which I respect. All in all, a studio version is not going to equal live versions of songs. For the most part, this is a good thing. The studio is a different place to explore the songs and do things that aren't always able to be redone live. Take The Beatles track "Tomorrow Never Knows" or the entire album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and see how studio wise it is in genius but wouldn't work live (for the most part). Look at BTCS, there were a bunch of things on that album that can't be done live. Appreciation of the studio is different than appreciation of a live show. If you want exactly what you get from a live show, then download or buy the live shows! The role of a studio album is not to copy a live performance.

[dman0808]

do you all think you'd be liking it nearly as much if at all if you hadn't heard it live this summer. from that clip, like people are saying, it's very bluegrassy, which is different. Keep that in mind for the other clips and future clips.

[goochylittlepig]

I much prefer what they did with it live.
psst, guess what they put with the album, just for you! :monkey

[CornellDMBfan]

Live is waaaaaaaaaay better
agreed, but most songs are. I like it

[jr_cigar]

i agree with you, but i dont like #41 that much. i guess you can still be a fan and not like great songs.

but i dont see how that guy thinks the organ is overboard when it was like that this summer, or why he's blaming mark for that. i also dont see how an album song is supposed to have the intensity of a live song, esp one like hello again. i mean, thats the point of dmb...

That's such a cop out though to say that. I hated when mark said "well i guess these are just blueprints for what they do live so the songs are what they are" (somethign to that extent). Okay yeah dmb is a live band, i love that about them and that statement is somewhat true, but make the songs to the best of your ability in the studio. Don't just say, yeah its alright, its a good song, could be better but wait till you see what they do with it live. Why not do that in the studio? I never understood that. You can capture that in the studio. Look at bands like Zeppelin or CSNY. They got plenty of energy in the studio. I know bands feed off the crowds and what not, but it is possibly to create amazing songs in the studio with plenty of energy. I think 41 is a good example of that.

[goochylittlepig]

Look at BTCS, there were a bunch of things on that album that can't be done live.
i'm still in awe every time i hear dave do the opera outro to halloween, esp like the gorge video. i thought for years that was just an effect on the album, or someone else altogether.

[goochylittlepig]

It sounds like:

"what to do with all these cattle in the backyard? Hippos Simodoes???" or something like that.
LMFAO! i thought you were kidding. you're not. holy shit that's hilarious. the "cattle in the backyard" and "hippos" lyrics are unmistakeable now

[jr_cigar]

And by the organ I meant that batson controls the levels. I think its too prominent on the track. Same goes for joyride. I know they've been using the organ all summer. I think the organ sounds great on the GGP cut cause the organ isn't too overpowering. On the studio cuts of hello and joyride I feel the organ is far too loud. Just my opinion, and thanks to whoever above said they respected it if not agreeing with it.

[road_designer]

"i'm nor a fan cause i don' like one song...and you're a fan cause you post soo much on this board and follow the band blindly and tell others they're not fans. douche"

I was sure it wasn't you. You have the decency to discuss on the boards.

[jr_cigar]

ya it wasn't. I would assume someone is screwing with you. I only give neg rep points when someone's a huge ass for no reason or just posts completely irrelvent trife.

This should tide you all over who are wishing the clip will just keep playing. NOTICE THE ORGAN. :)

Hello Again - 10/5/04:

also will be interesting to see the people who are just scanning for the first link they see. They'll get Hello Again, alright.

[darbini]

I'm still trying to find out one I got from March, good luck finding that tool. I really think that if someone is going to give you a negative rep point they should have their name attached to it.

I like the way they adapt every song on that album for a live performance. I think they can all be done live wonderfully.

However, they wont be the same as they were in the studio. Its pretty much expected that they cant have greg howard on the chapman stick for dreaming tree, or bela on banjo for spoon, but they certainly make do with what they have.

[tblincoe]

i think they did a good job of capturing the energy of the live performance... it'll be interesting to hear how this fits in with the rest of the album though!

[shoelessjoe910]

Exactly what I was saying. They aren't the same! For the most part, songs are usually better live, but some of the performances on the studio album(s) stick out and are amazing on their own. They really make a name for themselves in the studio.

[maveric998]

Absolutely amazing -- guess warehouse was just saving the best for last.


Hello again, it's been too long.

[shoelessjoe910]

This clip forced me to stop listening to a show from 96 (that kicks ass - 6.12.96 - 3min Too Much intro kicks ass) and put in 7.27.2004 up LOUD!!!!!

[ickysticky74]

I need to hear the clips please give me a link or email it to me please

I have only heard the American baby song

Not sure why there are no Bittorrent leaks out there for this album

I already preordered it but wnat ot hear it now

[Rob]

That was absolutely fucking disgusting. Horribly overproduced, and what the hell is the point of the effect on Dave's voice? They took a great song and absolutely destroyed it (like the studio Joyride we heard). Thank god we have recordings of what these songs can be.

Patients young Pad-a-won (spelling?).

[ishuman]

"Here we go..."

My thoughts exactly. That stood out and I liked it a lot. Just goes to show--in my mind--how much fun the DMB had putting this album together.

[SevenMinarets]

That was absolutely fucking disgusting. Horribly overproduced, and what the hell is the point of the effect on Dave's voice? They took a great song and absolutely destroyed it (like the studio Joyride we heard). Thank god we have recordings of what these songs can be.
What exactly did you not like about the Joy Ride clip?

[Rob]

The placement of Dave's voice and the organ.

Yes, I can give you a link....but first you must answer these questions three:

Question the first:
What was the first version of Satellite called?

Question the second:
What album is the song Spotlight on?

Question the third:
What was the name of the bar Dave worked at when he created the band?

You have until 3 o'clock Ants time.

[dmbosw41]

I actually liked the clip. It has a nice hillbilly effect with the voice and stuff. This song is really a country song anyway.

[ickysticky74]

come on where are you guys hearing all these clips?

Has anybody heard the new Weezer yet?

Good Stuff

I am hoping that the new DMB blows it away so my friend will shut up about how Weezer is better

[SevenMinarets]

The placement of Dave's voice and the organ.
hmm well to each his own I guess. I liked it.

[road_designer]

That was absolutely fucking disgusting. Horribly overproduced, and what the hell is the point of the effect on Dave's voice? They took a great song and absolutely destroyed it (like the studio Joyride we heard). Thank god we have recordings of what these songs can be.

wow. To each his own but this song is pretty good. Hey, John Mayer has some songs or something.

[Rob]

I can understand people liking the organ. I don't understand why they would lay Dave's voice down the way they did. He's so far in front of the music in terms of volume and levels that it sounds an amateur with a microphone and Sound Forge recorded it.

didn't think it was that bad. the voice effect is strange, but it just adds a little flavor. the song rocks hardcore live, I don't think we could expect the studio version to be as good

Well, guess the cavalry has arrived.

I love how this thread starts out with all of these positive comments, and at the end the jackals show up and start ripping the thing to shreds.

You guys must be really depressing to be around...

[CornellDMBfan]

He's so far in front of the music in terms of volume and levels that it sounds an amateur with a microphone and Sound Forge recorded it.
that's the first thing I noticed . . . other than that, I don't really have any qualms with this clip (other than I know for a fact that the song itself is less than 4 minutes)

[SevenMinarets]

I can understand people liking the organ. I don't understand why they would lay Dave's voice down the way they did. He's so far in front of the music in terms of volume and levels that it sounds an amateur with a microphone and Sound Forge recorded it.
That is the first thing I thought of when listening to Everybody Wake Up. Dave seems to be way out front and the music is kind of in the background.

[CornellDMBfan]

LMFAO! i thought you were kidding. you're not. holy shit that's hilarious. the "cattle in the backyard" and "hippos" lyrics are unmistakeable now
hysterical . . . I can definitely make out the "cattle in the backyaaarrrd" line

[Rob]

Cavalry? Sorry that I have an opinion. I've been listening to DMB for a long time, and I know what they're capable of. This ain't it. This is like doing the limbo with the bar at 9 feet, slipping on a bananna and getting knocked out before it even really starts.

[ickysticky74]

I am at work so I didn't have time to check and I am a dumb azz because I can't answer one of those questions

Honestly? You get a rap producer, you get rap-style mixing. I really think it's that simple.

[Rob]

you, sir, are way off.

Fuck you. It's an opinion. I'm entitled to it. You're entitled to yours. Now shut the fuck up.

[dmb6743]

i actually like this one, carter sounds very good and i do like the organ, and i like the organ even more on joyride (disagree with me all you want), but we're used to this song live, but whatever, i like it, again, not my favorite from the summer, but still good.

[road_designer]

Honestly? You get a rap producer, you get rap-style mixing. I really think it's that simple.

not a rap producer. have you said anything sensible yet?

yeah, i just listening the the everybody wake up clip before reading your post above and figured that's what you were talking about. terrible mixing.

[road_designer]

Fuck you. It's an opinion. I'm entitled to it. You're entitled to yours. Now shut the fuck up.

Do you always have conversations like this?

Hmmm... Looks like people agree with me, douchebag.

I think you need a time out. You have serious anger management issues.

[dmb6743]

holy crap people, lay off rob...he can have his own opinion on whatever he wants, if he doesnt like it, accept it and go along with your OWN opinion and not worry about his. holy shit.

[Rob]

Nope. I'm smiling. People like you annoy me. That's all. I can have a decent coversation with most, but wastes like you just piss me off.

I stand my opinion- this Hello Again sucks. You know what? I'm right, and you're wrong.

There? Convinced? No? Well, I'm not convinced of your side either, so shut up and we'll both be happy.

[SevenMinarets]

I think you need a time out. You have serious anger management issues.
I would be pissed off too if someone basically told me my opinion is wrong...

[Bluedaze21]

*Confused as to why people are pissed off at each other because of an audio clip that doesn't have anything to do with either of them*

[Orpheus]

People complained that Dave's vocals were too "in front" on Busted Stuff, too. A completely different producer. I haven't heard anything in those clips that bothers me. The music is as strong as ever.

[ARFiredancer]

I like averything I have heard as far as overall sound. I am just not down with the voice effects...at all...

[CornellDMBfan]

There? Convinced? No? Well, I'm not convinced of your side either, so shut up and we'll both be happy.
sig worthy

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion, Rob, but nothing said by road_designer in this thread warranted the kind of backlash you gave.

If you're an asshole, people will treat you like one.

[Kook]

I love the Hello Again studio clip and I love Hello Again live. Can't get much better than that.

Some people question whether or not the song "fits" with the rest of the album...a reasonable doubt. But when I look back to BTCS, I see a wide range of songs that don't necessarily "fit" together, either. Halloween, Stay, Rapunzel, Dreaming Tree. All great songs on their own, but I tried to imagine hearing 40 second clips from each song and then stringing them into one, flowing, album. I might have questioned how they were going to fit too. And I think that's the beauty of a classic album. Taking songs that have a unique sound all to their own and connecting them to a greater whole to produce an experience more so than just an average album. When ever I listen to BTCS, I feel like I'm taken on a ride - largely in part by the variety, the segues, the uniqueness in the songs, and all the textures that a studio allows.

I think the fact that Hello Again doesn't "fit" after hearing a clip is a good thing, a promising sign that Stand Up will be more than just another Everyday or BS. That is, of course, if Batson was able to bring the album together as a whole, like BTCS.

[CrashInto41]

Im not really diggin the voice effect, but besides that its pretty good

[Rob]

You know what, Road-Douchebag? I didn't de-rep you, so I'm not playing any "game." If that's the 3rd grade war you want to play, I'm out. I'm not going to bother derepping somebody for opinion, even though that seems to be how the system is used.

:confused I know you didn't. I got de-repped before you started farting out of your mouth.

[Bluedaze21]

If the song really is in fact about an internal conflict of a killer fighting the urge to murder again (reflecting on his first and whatnot) I think an interesting production of the song might have included a call and response between the two ego's....one being in that vocal effect we hear now, and the other being normal.

[eevulhomer]

Dreamgirl was crap, but I don't have the link saved so I will defer some judgement on it. Other than that, the rest of the clips are really tyte. I think all worries that this was going to be Everyday pt.2 should be laid to rest at this point. As far as Hello Again, I also think the organ is a bit heavy, but I still like it. definitely want to hear the rest of it...

[Rob]

:confused

My apologies. Somebody de-repped me and signed your name.

[goochylittlepig]

That's such a cop out though to say that. I hated when mark said "well i guess these are just blueprints for what they do live so the songs are what they are" (somethign to that extent). Okay yeah dmb is a live band, i love that about them and that statement is somewhat true, but make the songs to the best of your ability in the studio. Don't just say, yeah its alright, its a good song, could be better but wait till you see what they do with it live. Why not do that in the studio?
it's not a cop out, it's true. playing live stuff in front of everyone, where you're all just winging it at the same time, is a lot different than laying down parts in a studio, etc. i think both have their merits, and they do a great job in the studio. however, they are phenomenal live. i'd like them if they just played their studio songs over again live, the way most bands do, but i look at the live stuff as a bonus. and conversely, i think it's cool mark know enough about dmb to realize the live song, built over years of touring, is where dmb is at its finest.

[Orpheus]

My apologies. Somebody de-repped me and signed your name.:D I didn't sign road_designer's name to that de-rep. Why are you lying?

[Rob]

Because somebody else did. And I didn't de-rep you either, so what fucking game are you talking about?

[Sniper15]

I agree with Rob I'm not digging the voice effects. Hello Again live is as badass as it gets but this studio cut isn't promising.

[emp88]

I love it except for the backround vocals..a little overdone for my liking..but I love the certain twang it has.
I think Dave is saying in the beginning..hippos..right on! or something to that affect. ha

[Matt1838]

I really like both versions. Why would you want a carbon copy of the live version on the album? I'm glad they mixed it up for us all. Nice clip.

[onemoredrink41]

i do have the hello again bonus from the stand up cd.... no biggie.

[Chuckg8484]

I definately think that is straight for a studio version...can't wait to hear it live this summer

[Noles20]

I think both versions are really good, at least judging by the clip. HA live is so good, that I think it would be tough to match it in the studio. As far as the mixing, it sounds fine to me.

[goochylittlepig]

Yes, I can give you a link....but first you must answer these questions three:

Question the first:
What was the first version of Satellite called?

Question the second:
What album is the song Spotlight on?

Question the third:
What was the name of the bar Dave worked at when he created the band?

You have until 3 o'clock Ants time.
lmao, youre fuckin hilarious

i honestly think you listened to them long enough to put them and their older work on a pedestal. i love dmb more than anyone i know, but not all their stuff is gold by any means. some of their stuff is astounding, but i think you love a lot of their old stuff because you've heard it so much. this album is like dating a new person after a long relationship. at first they might not be as good in your mind, but give it a few years and you'll come around. i can't make analogies, im going back to bed

wow, usually the sound clips are up around 2pm or 3pm .. this means seat locations are for later today!! WOOT WOOT!! (HOPEFULLY)

Pretty much every clip has been up exactly at 1pm EST

Pretty badass clip

[clayj41]

Great clip!!!

[purplehaze18]

that clip was awesome

[killymagee2000]

I liked that one. A few good ones in a row.

[shoelessjoe910]

Honestly? You get a rap producer, you get rap-style mixing. I really think it's that simple.
The closest thing DMB HAS EVER done to rap is Ants Marching.

Also, Batson is not a "rap" producer. He has produced a few rap/hip-hop albums and has been recognized for this, but he is not a "rap" producer. Read the interview with Batson and look at his background as a musician FIRST then his prodcuing second. I think you'll see that his "rap" albums are in the minority of things he has done. Yes, he has brought the influence into DMB with the sound of Carter's beats in a few of these clips, but I do not think you can honestly say that you hear that in this clip of Hello Again. There are studio effects on the vocals and the use of organ, but that does not equal rap, hip-hop, or pop to say the least. It also doesn't mean it's crap either. As said before, the studio is an entirely different environment than the road/stage for this band. After 14 years, I think that would be an obvious fact. If you don't like it or if you do like it, that's cool. I don't give a shit because you don't affect my judgement(s), but you do make yourself look like an ass with comments like these. You can be respectful too. To be respected/respectable is to respect first.

[taphntm]

the clips are still getting better

I really really really wish they would spend as much time on the songs as they've spent on hello again, sugar will and joyride. They sound a lot more concrete.

[goochylittlepig]

The closest thing DMB HAS EVER done to rap is Ants Marching.
i was thinking about that the other day. very true.

[Limegreenbooger]

Quick question: Is it just a regular organ or a male organ?

[nieds05]

I didn't like it at first compared to the live version, but now that i am listening to it more, i like it a lot, still will never beat the live version though, still good :)

man, the last three days of clips have been amazing. i wonder what tomorrow will be. waiting for these clips is more intense than that time i forgot to sit down...

[celebi23]

Yeah I think this album is made to show all facets of what they can do, whether its fast, slow, Funk, twangy sounding, They just want to have a versitle record showing all sides of their musical talents! Sounds like they did a great job.

:thumbsup my exact thoughts

Hello again is a kickass song and most of the time my away message is a quote from it, and this is the first semi negative thing i have had to say about the album but...

still wishing it was:

"i am not worth the flesh on my bones"

using "waste" twice is redundant

I, I, Hold, Hold...

As do I.

If this is not allowed then completely ignore this, but I was wondering if someone could post the links for dreamgirl, joyride, and smooth rider. I am a WH member but didn't think to save the link when they were posted. To my knowledge, though, these songs have since been bosted on the albums website so the links shoud be able to be posted. Thanks in advance.

[waynekj]

hey, this clip is great.. dave and the guys had fun with this one.. carter is all over it.. me like.. and as for finding the old warehouse clips.. i did it a few days ago and worked.. all i did was change the URL to the old clip names.. and it came up in windows media player.. works for some other clips as well.. ones already released..

[dmb2much40]

i'm not a big fan of the organ at all, seems as if it's turned up too loud. i don't like the voice effects much either, but those won't be there live. i think the song is similar to grey street in that it's damn near impossible to capture the intensity of the song in the studio. much better live song. i just hope that it doesn't suffer the fate of grey street's cut verse. from the clip, the lyrics stayed pretty much the same, which i was hoping for. overall, i think this clip is probably as good as the song was going to get in the studio.

[snapmcd]

This could have been on the "O, Brother..." soundtrack. :thumbsup

That's exactly what I thought! Total bluegrass. I like it.

Am I not allowed to dislike one of their songs? The organs are brutal... ugh.



I agree Butch needs to stop.

otherwise the song has major energy coming out of it! glad to hear that even the studio couldn't ruin it!

[JonahB41]

i hate radio as much as anyone else, but itd be a shame if this tune wasnt kicking back on the airwaves. this should be a single before dream girl, this would be undeniable riding fast down the road.

Some of it may be Mark Batson as well. Designer, in his "Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd Lyrics" Thread posted some song credits for the first 4 or so tracks.....Batson has got credit for playing Rhodes, Moog, etc. In addition to Butch of course.

as long as it is still long in concert...im fine. for those who may know...was it long during the australia tour?

[Mouchie]

i like it

[Sniper15]

Yeah most reviews from Australia said HA still has the carter solo and it is as long as it was last summer. I think the GGP version has to be the most intense one from last summer. That version was so badass.

[Sniper15]

Honestly I don't think there were any versions of Hello Again that could be labeled "bad" or "shitty".

[marco j]

7/17 , 7/26 and 8/7 were by far the best of the tour.

edit* also deer creek .... actually if you go back over the tour you will find that deer creek's vesion changed the whole dynamic of the song. It's actually the first version where carter picks up the tempo near the end and from then on the song just grew. so we have carter to thank.

[demar727]

Some quick facts:

Hello Again was used as the first song in the encore on 3.21.05. It had the intro and a drum solo. And it checked in at over 8 minutes (including the intro).


No one should despair, HA will still rock.

Yeah, that version freaking ROCKS MY FACE OFF and then goes into Ants Marching! It's freaking great!!!

My favorite version comes from 7.27.2004! I know was there and that would lead to bias...blah blah blah...but oh man, the energy in that version and the drum solo KICK SERIOUS ASS!!! Some of the intro (about 15 seconds) is at the end of the previous "track" on the recording I have, and with that the song clocks in at about 9 min 45 seconds. It is freakin' sweet!!! I love the Dave wails in this one....and the "improv verse" at the end after the drum solo is SWEEEEEEEEEEET and then Dave starts into YEAH YEAH, YEAH YEAH, HELLO HELLO YOU KNOW HELLO....etc into the end which is just SOOOOOOO friggin' sweet!!!

[davehead34]

Just listened to it. Love it! Very cool. Totally dig when Dave says "Here we go now." Very tight! I'm looking forward to listening to the complete version.

Perhaps this is just me, but has anyone else noticed that the songs DMB wrote for the new album pre-Batson are on a different level of awesome (i.e.: SW, HA, GGT, JR...)? But then you have songs like Stand Up (granted, I haven't heard the complete version, yet) that are just not the DMB we've heard before. I mean, they don't even sound like something that Glen Ballard would have them create.

Just my $.02.

[dman0808]

There is some very intelligent and good rap out there. Unfortunately it's not really the popular rap (with few exceptions) there are some AMAZING lyricists, a friend of mine being one. And some of the things they do on the spot amaze me...much like some of the stuff dave can come up with one the spot amazes me. And then if yuo want to get into producing...it is different....but should not go unappreciated.

But the problem people have sometimes is that they look to mainstream rap. And lots of that is garbage. I mean we dont' look to mainstream rock to find good rock so why would you look to mainstream rap, ya know.

sorry for the off subject rant....HA is wonderful. :monkey

Several people have posted similar thoughts. There have even been threads made on the topic. You are not alone.

every single DMB song I've heard is one of a kind

to all of those who are complaining about the two voices of dave singing at the same time or background vocal effects...ahem.....two step from crash....ahem...the soft high pitch dave matthews background layered vocal in the background ..ahem....

Grey Street and You Never Know also have layered Dave vocals.

Thank you. A lot of people also complained about the megaphone effect on "Everybody Wake Up," though it's no more pronounced than on R&R. I don't think anyone mentioned that. If they did, sorry.

hmmm, any speculation as to which clip we will hear today? Louisiana Bayou is the next song on the tracklist, and I think some people said that HA segued into LB, so may bee!

[manninta]

For some reason everytime I see Lousiana B. I think of the way Dave used to sing Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard. The verse has a southern feel to it and thats the way I picture this song to be

[GruvnDMBRiddims]

I just listened to this clip and I think this shit is rockin'.... I also am very welcoming of the layered vocals-- it adds more to the bluegrass vibe/sound of the song!!!

That would be awesome. I'm looking forward to that song more than any other on the record. I just hope someone makes an mp3 of it, 'cause I can't play these links even with the copy-paste-remove the s method.

My thoughts exactly!

[shoelessjoe910]

I'm really thinking that Hunger for the Great Light is the clip going to be put up today!

[elconguero]

Nope. I'm smiling. People like you annoy me. That's all. I can have a decent coversation with most, but wastes like you just piss me off.

I stand my opinion- this Hello Again sucks. You know what? I'm right, and you're wrong.

There? Convinced? No? Well, I'm not convinced of your side either, so shut up and we'll both be happy.

whether you like it or not i have a hard time believing it is "fucking disgusting, ...this Hello Again sucks." saying that just makes you sound like an asshole. but most assholes, like you, seem to like to get everyones panties all in a bunch, so mission accomplished. i haven't listened to any clips, i am just going by your responses. "ah hah people agreed with me, so i am right, you are wrong" grow the fuck up. just say you like the live version better because of the energy and go on your merry way. people will respect your input alot more that way. you heard a fucking clip and you are judging the entire mix and song.

[MistreatedLewis]

Hello Again sounds like it is going to be fantastic. Dave's voice sounds fantastic... I really like everything about the clip. I don't mind the organ at all - it's nice to hear Butch on the record, especially considering how empty Everyday and Busted Stuff sound withour Mr. Reynolds....

[Chaddington]

I'm a little annoyed that the background and lead vocals harmonizing don't synchronize very well. In the studio, they should be able to easily synchronize this, which leads me to believe it's intentional that they didn't.

Just sharing one of my pet peeves in my self-proclaimed role as the "Anal Retentive Music Critic."

PS - I still like the song.

[dmb24hickey]

where is the next clip already..i am holdin out on listening to any of em..but it sure as hell is fun hearing everyone elses views..i try not to be too discouraged from the negative reviews cause there were a bunch of negative reviews about sugar will and some of the other summer songs and i absolutely loved every one of them..especially HA and SW .

It's definitely intentional and effective imo.

[JimiThingDMB]

The melody of Hello Again sounds just like Joy Ride, that soft organ sound......would rather listen to this song live.

[canyonfool]

I am really surprised that they just cut the song off! Where's the drum solo? Almost all of the other songs fade out, and this one just cuts

[tkcrowshaw]

wow.....listen to the live version of hello again on that home depot site


HOLY SHIT CARTER

[DownwithDlaw]

Lol Home depot. Best Buy my friend, Best Buy.
If anyone can somehow grab that soundboard Hello Again from Best Buy and post it to download or tell us how to do it you would make me a very happy man. That version kicks the everloving crap out of the San Fran show version.

[tkcrowshaw]

wow im stoned....

[2StepintoCrash]

I love this song, but it doesn't sound that good on this album. It is a little out of place but also the quality is not doing it justice. I'll reserve my final judgement when I hear the pure 5.1 high quality sound.
