Two New Albums?

[White Rabbit]

So I was thinking, and i noticed a lot of these new songs of Dave don't really require every instrument in the band. Some that come to mind are Eh Hee, Falling Off The Roof, #27, and A Dream So Real. Anyway, How Possible do you think it could be that Dave Plans to put another Some Devil Type album out along with a new album with the full band?

[malarks26]

Not a chance

[bibby1044]

A Dream So Real was written by the band this past tour.

[som3d3vil34]

Not with it, but he is contracted to do another solo album

[RobRoy286]

It'll happen eventually - not with these songs though.

[RobRoy286]

and let me just say i'll be excited for a new dave solo album.

[DJGeneral]

Me too!

[Bartender1717]

I'm at least three times more excieted for a solo album then a full band

[scadder21]

Isn't Dave sladed to create songs for the soundtrack of that new movie hes going to be in?

[sir iggius]

nope. not at the same time

[scadder21]

Its the movie with a bunch of Scientology people in it. Dave is set to write the songs for the movie like Vedder did for the Into the Wild Movie. People were debating on here weather it meant he was going to score the soundtrack or write songs for it?

[DMB0715]

It'd be awesome to have two seperate albums released on the same day. One full DMB, one Dave solo.

[RobRoy286]

It'd be awesome to have two seperate albums released on the same day. One full DMB, one Dave solo.The solo album would probably be much much better, but the DMB album would sell more. Stefan would do his daily fly by of am.org and see what the true fans really think. Jealousy and envy would consume him and he would leave the band and join Roi (who has already left the band). As a replacement for Fonz, DMB would pick up Victor Wooten. However, Vic and Jeff Coffin come as a package deal, so we'd also get a nice bonus for Roi's replacement. Bela and Futureman would just say "ah what the heck, we may as well come over too." DMB + BFFT would live in harmony forever.


Oh, Tim and Steve would come over too.

What about a double album? They have enough material for one.

[warehouseguy]

I hate the idea of a double album b/c i feel like the band will be distracted, and become lazy. if there is enough material for two discs, hold off on one of those discs and let those songs improve in a live setting, then follow up w/ a second album a year/half later.

[lestat1600]

im sure a solo is in the works, when will be out? thats the question

couldnt agree more.:hump. letting one album come out and play it live, and at the same time devolep the second so its not just ok like the album that must not be named

[warehouseguy]

but i'm all for a b-side bonus disc like the stand up album w/ 3-5 b-sides...

Not now with the full band album, but Dave is contractually obligated to do another solo album. YES!

[Milenk]

I think we could be in for a DMB double disc studio, da first of its kind.

Yeah I made a comment about this in another thread a while ago. A Foo Fighters, In Your Honor style might be nice.

please no. most double albums aren't good.

[Pig17]

No, this isn't the seventh Harry Potter movie.

[DerekJTR2]

You people pigeonhole yourselves so much. "Most" double albums aren't good? What's most. Seriously. You people are so predisposed to not liking the albums anyway, no matter what they put out you're gonna bitch. Go listen to Hannah Montana if you want to know what you're getting.

If they have that much material anyway, whats wrong with releasing one album, then going on tour roadtesting some of the songs that didnt make it and releasing a second album a year or so later? Its much safer.

[DerekJTR2]

I agree Bibby, I'm just saying if that's what they wanna do, and end up doing then they don't deserve to be written off immediately.

[bibby1044]

Well yeah, you cant just say its going to be horrible just because its a double...but it leaves more room for error. I just want a big 4 before we get any doulbe albums.

The fact is, most double albums could be condensed to one incredible album... but there's so much "Filler" in double albums.

and by "most" he means that the last GOOD double album was by the Smashing Pumpkins.

RHCP was decent - but there's way too much filler and crap... if it was condensed to one cd, it could have been one of their best.

Foo Fighters double album was about as disposable as double albums get.

Here we go again. A die-hard fan who thinks if you don't love everything the band does you should go find other music to listen to. :rolleyes How typical

[GuitarGuyTy]

Eh, I really hope they keep it to a full band album. DMB is so much better as DMB... Dave is great, they all are, but it's the combination that makes it such phenomenal music.

-Ty.

i dont think thats what its about, i think some of us "diehard" fans are tired of other "fans" criticizing every recording since lillywhite sessions, if you want to here dmb do everything exactly the same listen to the old albums, if you want to here new music with a different feel, here it comes.

I really feel sorry for people who think UTTAD, Crash, BTCS, and LWS all sound the same. It was an amazing evolution for the band.

[sdaltons]

they should really just put out another disc later that has 6 or 7 b-sides from this session and 6 or 7 from stand up. basically anything they've recorded in the last 3 years that they aren't gonna use.

this disc could easily be better than stand up. we know the stand up b-sides will probably be, because we know there was some great stuff that didn't get used.

if they want to record brand new stuff everytime they go in the studio, fine. how about in the non "new record" years, they put out eps or lps with studio cuts of all the songs they wrote on the road that won't be making the next album anyway.

Nine Inch Nails The Fragile was a great double album.

[White Rabbit]

I'm not talking about the possibility of a double album. That ship is never going to sail on the seas of Dave Matthews in my opinion. I'm just asking if you think its possible that they could release this upcoming album, and then shortly after release a Dave Matthews solo album.

Haha. Despite the fact that I live and die by the Dave, I just mean that people put too much stock in what they think the band is gonna do. No one lets it happen. So many people want to know what they are getting and right now. It just kills the whole process...and I wanted to make fun of Hannah Montana :):)

[kingchrisII]

ive yet to meet anyone that says they sound the same, what i was trying to say was that everyone wants albums similiar to the old ones and if they arent similiar to the old ones they are busts, which is complete bull shit. stand up might not be as strong as BTCS, but some songs from Stand Up are amazing live, such as Louisiana Bayou and Hunger For The Great Light, if DMB kept producing stuff that sounded like Crash BTCS and LWS all the concerts would sound the same.

[taa121288]

Not a chance

He's actually contracted to do another one so there actually is a chance

because people will bitch.
They will say "they already played those songs live a bunch of times, why waste time recording a studio version of it."

*cough* granny *cough*

So if they have why not release it then take it on the road and see what it turns into.

See Stand Up.

and I wasnt talking about roadtesting to the point where Cornbread and #27 were, I just mean atleast take their time and rework them so that they become album ready. This way we can have a few great albums instead of one average double album.

[lc_2000]

I haven't read through all these posts, but I like what Counting Crows recently did with their album -- two producers for two different sounds/styles, but one good CD. You don't need a "double" album for that to work. Imagine if DMB worked with a new producer for the first six songs, then the second "side" was with someone they've worked with in the past?

[hmich176]

I'm thinking that it's not too likely (in reference to the main question of the thread, not the last post). Sure, Dave's going to do another solo at some point, but what I'd really, really like to see is a Dave and Tim album. Now that would be awesome. Maybe a bit of a dream, but awesome nonetheless.
