Release date?

[SmoothRider[PL]]

I've found it on proudestmonkeys.org - European DMB Fan Site.

http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/3108816/Upcoming-Release/Product.html

How about that?

[jordanbball17]

I can't wait 8 more months...

[kurz41]

I wouldn't read too much into it. There's no information other than a tentative release date.

[warehouseguy]

ha i was going to write nov. 15 2008 before clickin' that link, lol... well see

[mikemartone]

Albums usually drop on Tuesdays. November 7th is a Friday.
I could be wrong.

No you are right, I wouldnt take that for a completely legitimate source; but at the same time I wouldnt rule it out either.

[number4ty1]

It's not November 7th but July 11th.

Confused?

It's simple, in Europe the dates are written in the opposit way they're written in the US.

In the US 11-07-2008 is November 7th, but in Europe is July 11th.

PS: Oh, and we're an older civilization so our dates are right, not yours !! :D (Just felt like being a prick) !!

[dwdrums36]

It's not November 7th but July 11th.!

He's right. That says July, not November. I could handle a July release.

Still July 11 is a Friday, not a Tuesday, and I agree above...releases are usually on Tuesdays. Why I don't know.

[chrisjames]

wow, i hope it comes out in July, i am waiting oh so patiently

[ZackR]

I only want it in July if they have taken their time and have a quality product. I'd rather wait for a quality album then have them rush to get something out.

July 11 is opening night at West Palm Beach. Maybe they would be kind enough to sell it to those of us that are at Atlanta 4 days earlier. :lol

[Inter]

I've bought cd's long enough to know that any release date set by any store without anything confirmed by the record company is to be taken with a grain of salt.

[dmb5570]

all of the LTs are released on Fridays for people that preorder.......i cant remember how it was with the last studio albums, did they release on friday still for members and then tuesday for everyone else? or just for everyone on tuesday like every other cd?

[kck211s]

I may be off, but I don't think that Tuesday is the typical release day for albums in the UK.

Coldplay is currently finishing up their new album, with release slated in early June (though I think they finished recording some time ago). As such, a July release doesn't sound completely implausible if they can finish recording in the next month or so . . . but I think they'd have to be a lot farther along in the studio than is being let on. I'm still figuring on a release date sometime in the fall or possibly early winter (or if it goes the way of the Lilywhite Sessions, approximately the 12th of never). In the end, I guess we won't know until we're told, but it is fun to speculate.

[~Crashintome89~]

If it is true, it makes sense. West Palm is the last stop before the break, maybe DMB pushes out the album during that week, plays the festival, and then pushes album songs on the second half?

[SmoothRider[PL]]

We don't have any confirmation from the band, but still - something's up.

[JimiThing3403]

My guess.

Tracks are recorded From March till Late May

mixing and final tracklisting/final processing during early tour.

Late summer/early fall release date

fall/winter tour to support it.

The band isnt out in seattle now with cavallo and a new studio album website up and running for an album thats coming out in 2009.

[vklugf]

My guess.

True. And initially it sounded like this summer tour was going to be to support the new album. Why debut the new album songs now, to release it next year?

I'm confused... dammit!

[cherone21]

Agreed. There is no way that this album is coming out in 2009. I think it is close and they are going to spring the date on everyone shortly.

[Panther41]

This is my gut feeling as well. The general presence of DMB in media and popular culture has been in decline since the shine of Everyday wore off (hey, it may not have been their greatest album, but you have to admit it was huge for them).

They intend to put themselves back on the map with this one, and that means (1) a producer who knows how to get an "epic" sound, (2) an intense tour, and (3) an album hitting this summer, because DMB's biggest season is summertime.

i agree with this post and it doesnt seem like a bad idea to release it on that day being that they do have a break in the middle of the tour. so its likely they could have done that for the tuesday release date in stores. but regardless of the release date lets all hope for a quality album.

[Malaguy]

I don't know guys...I'd hardly call a week off a "mid-tour break." It seems like they left that gap there so they could add in the Mile High Festival. Otherwise, it's pretty much a straight through tour. As for a release date, I'm sure we'll know soon enough. I hope for summer of course, but I'd rather have something of high quality, even if it means waiting a little longer.

[kevinmavs]

in a about a week to ten days there will be another video clip, probably on the new album website and at the end it will fade out with music playing and say new DMB Album Coming to you whatever month 2008, and then show the title of it.

Any source of just a guess?

[jas230314]

definitely NOT going to be a 2009 release. No way no how...

My guess is that the album will come out during the tour break which would be early julyish.. (does that match up with this release date?)

I would guess July 1 as the date because in the US, CDs are ALWAYS released on tuesdays. It matches up with the whole DMB=Summertime notion, the timetable makes sense, itll be during the support tour.

I put my money on it ;)

or a new video on the album site...

[RobRoy286]

This forum is titled "2008 Album Discussion"

The mods seem to have some good information. I think November is the most plausible release date.

Best thing said in the thread, this year's tour is massive and they need a hit record to get back into popular culture

[krecster23]

the album is coming out in july 08'

[krecster23]

at least that's my guess

[superfan]

the album is coming out in july 08'

there is no way that could happen, the earliest it could be out is August 2008.

[fool_to_think]

Didn't Jake state in another thread that the release date would either be September or October...I believe this was his best guess, but I would imagine he would know better than us, especially considering he also stated the album is a 100 million miles from being done or something to that effect.

[groton]

I'm going say September or October.

Sep 2nd or Sep 9th based on the fact the Itune download is not till middle of September and that would set up Berkeley to be like a CD release show run small and historical venue.

Then They take a few weeks off to to TV and Radio stuff.

come back with a fall/Winter tour focused around one of the Fest in Halloween Weekend. ether Vegoose or Voodoo

[RobRoy286]

i may be worng but wasnt the Best Of Whats Around released on november 7th (11/7)? maybe this is what this is...that my 2 cents

well one thing if that was when the Digital downloads from Itunes for the tickets we got would be around that time instead of September why Give Free songs away 2 months after the CD already gone on Sell?

I mean I got ten shows thats Ten Songs I should be able to download lets say there is 13 songs on the CD that be almost the full Cd i could get for free?

[TGaucho]

I could be wrong, but re-read that thing Jake put up. To me it sounds like anyone who bought tickets gets to download the entire best-of-compilation, not just one song per ticket.


the WDS story sounds like that too.

EDIT: I know that really wasn't the focus of your post, I'm just trying to clear this up for myself, as I'm only doing one show this year.

[DJGeneral]

That site is pretty reliable, but a July release would mean single information coming like in days, but Dave & Tim may plan on playing the lead single for the first time this week, filming and video and sending it for airplay on radios this month/early next month

so this is def. a possibility

[dmb5570]

with upcoming concerts and the vacation they have been taking(which is completely fair, i dont want them to be burnt out)........my optimism for an album by fall is starting to dwindle, i hope im wrong, but all signs and what jake has been saying says its gonna be a while.

OH and that date is all fucked up, July 11th is a friday. no way an album comes out on a friday.

[cherone21]

It has to be coming soon. It doesn't make sense that they are starting to promote an album a year in advance.

A clever idea would be for them to play the entire album live and use the ticket master partnership to allow all of the fans that bought a ticket to download the album for free. I don't think that is what the partnership is intended to do but it would be an amazing idea.

[Mateo2k]

Album's scrapped.

[JimiThing3403]

its coming out late summer/early fall

[RobRoy286]

September 2, 2008

[JimiThing3403]

It would definitely be nice to know for sure. Its honestly not going to take that long for them to record this album. They have had several studio sessions since stand up. This is basically the final recording process. Hopefully by late summer

[Gladstone]

This is my gut feeling as well. The general presence of DMB in media and popular culture has been in decline since the shine of Everyday wore off (hey, it may not have been their greatest album, but you have to admit it was huge for them).

So we're going to get a Everyday Part II? :(

[shaun007miller]

June 17th or June 24th, 2008 is my guess. My timeline is they finish recording, mixing, and anything else that goes into making a record by the third week of April. Then there has to be promotion organized and a single released for radio by the third to fourth week of May, with the record release date 2-4 weeks after the single hits the radio and iTunes. I could be wrong and most likely am wrong, I just like to think this is how it will go.

[JimiThing3403]

I really dont think they are creating anything new from scratch this time around like they did with SU and Everyday. I think they are taking the busted stuff process. Theyre taking their recorded ideas from the last few studio sessions out to seattle and filtering them through cavallo for extra ideas and polishing. Then they are going to tweak,add/delete ideas and or songs. Then they will re record for the final time with guest(s) and Tim reynolds. Final production done through cavallo. :thumbsup

[Mateo2k]

I think its going to be a 5 song EP.

But one song will be well over 30 minutes.

Is anyone else bored as hell of these lists?

[kgiles21]

Is anyone else bored as hell of these lists?

I'm just ready for the summer so we can hear the new songs. It was exciting before stand up came out and to see the develpment of the songs.

As far as the lists yes I am tired of them.

[Minarets#40]

Stand Up, Some Devil, Busted Stuff, Everyday, BTCS, Crash, and UTTAD were all released on a Tuesday.

Only Recently was released on another day (Thursday)

yeah, technically I've bought 10 tickets for this tour so far, and will probably be picking up a couple more, so I could potentially buy the album off of iTunes with the free songs!

[DMB4Lifer]

At first I figured it would come out just as the tour started but it seems to be getting a little late for that now. I think it'll come out in the middle (June/July) of the tour. I don't think they'll want to wait any longer (if they can help it).

Looking for about 12 songs total.

Idea of You (seems like a lock for the album now)
Cornbread (seems destined for the album/not strong enough for a "Live Only"
Granny (complete opposite, too strong live to be on an album. won't make it)
Joy Ride (I know it won't happen but I would like to see it reworked and "officially" released. Great opener to an album, similar to PNP/Rapunzel.
.....about 4-5 new songs with a few of the others mentioned above (no need to relist them).

[DMB4Lifer]

Stand Up, Some Devil, Busted Stuff, Everyday, BTCS, Crash, and UTTAD were all released on a Tuesday.

The source is from the UK? I've noticed a few people say that the date would be a Friday. This would be strange, as the official charts in the UK are every Sunday so if I was gonna bring out a new album in the UK I would make sure the release date was a Monday. That way you get a full week in before the charts. I think thats how it works anyway.

[jgeist8]

My theory on the release date is this...If anyone on here is a subscriber to Rolling Stone, you know that they love DMB in that mag. There is a DMB story or blurb in almost every other issue. The latest issue had a summer album preview and I can almost guarantee if DMB knew they were going to release it anytime before september it would have come out in that issue.

Unless DMB is going to go all Raconteurs on us and drop an album with no forewarning...I think it's gotta be coming in the fall

They're not rushing anything with a mid-tour/fall release. They've had 3 seperate studio sessions (if not more) directly pertaining to this album. They've played many of the potential songs multiple times on previous tours.
And again, about the website. I can't realistically see that website staying up for more than 6 or 7 months. That's just not practical.

[berman1125]

the site isnt even up yet. if it is by tour time. and they announce the album release in sept. i could see that...i just think people think they are done, when i personally dont think they are

hypothetically(sp?) speaking hear no one says that if a band finishes an album one day that it has to come out the next week so what are the chances that DMB has almost finished the album and are going to release it right before the start of the summer tour or sometime before the tour is over. And as far as 09' for the release that just seems way to far away for all the talk there is surrounding the new album not to mention how they also just released the video of them in the studio.

What talk? The coming soon front page of a website and the 90 second video clip? Clearly they've really got the hype machine up and running for an imminent release.

From recent interviews talking about taking their sweet time, the coming tour etc., I'd say that an '09 release would be the soonest we'll see an album.

berman1125 could you please stop posting. You've given us nothing but negativity and you clearly don't like/want the band to do well. So go read about Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz and get back to us when you have something worthwhile to talk about.

[crashintome202]

i say we go with our inside source Jake and listen to him when he says the album isnt close to being done. after all it seems like the most logical thing to do.
i mean the website has to be up before june seeing how this is the main session for the recording of the new album

:lol

i dont understand how idont want the band to do well. of course i do. and you can ask a lot of people around here. i am the last person to put this band down, and i am not here.

there only thing i am trying to do, is be a little realistic! for christ sakes...

how do you expect a album this summer...with a coming soon website and a 35 second studio clip

[berman1125]

i am just patient. how ever most people on this site want results now, and they want good results


look im not telling you people what to believe, but i do think that all of your hopefullness is getting in the way of seeing what is really going on here. listen, everyone should just enjoy the summer and their shows, and see how everything plays out. but i dont think people should get their hopes up about any type of a summer release

i think you and i need to coordinate a show to chill at together haha

Ha ha! I wish. It would be great to get to a show up in New England. Never seen one outside of the areas where I've lived (the midwest and the south). Who knows . . . I do think the St. Louis show at Busch is going to be good (possible live release?--I'm hoping it is possibly on par with Piedmont Park, which a lot of people talk crap about, but was easily the best live show I've been to), and I'm looking forward to seeing Willie as the opener in Memphis.

But hey, if you make it down here, holler.

Whenever the albums comes out, it comes out. I would love new music, and I'll listen to the album to death I'm sure, but it's the live stuff that's to come from the new album that excites me most. Listening to songs from older albums, or listening to them on the gajillion live DMB things I have... the live stuff blows it all out of the water. The band says they're taking their sweet time to create something good, well that's fine by me. I wish more groups took their time to make sure their music is great.

Agreed. DMB is all about live music. I only listen to albums to learn the words. In addition, they seem to be taking an approach from the old days. They played many songs off of crash before the CD was ever finished.

I wonder how many people will complain about hearing the songs before the CD is released and forget that the band has taken this approach throughout their career.

i ll complaing b/c before the 00 batch / lws songs....trading wasnt as accessible as it is now...ie get a song the day after it got played the night before on a webpage where all you have to do is right click....not wait for a mailer and/or do a cd snail mail trade.....by the logic of the band and their music is a live thing, then what is the point of new studio albums except to put out brand new material for the road.....stefan said what i agree w/ i d rather have a new studio album of brand new songs and then see how they develop and a yr later get a live album and see the difference than vice versa

[jmdt52]

I'm not putting too much stock into that, just seems too unreliable. Especially since there's no way they could be far enough into the process to have much of an idea for a release date. Deadlines are the last thing this album needs, and if the studio slaps one on them, God help us.

09? no way. late summer/early fall.

marketing is a well-oiled money machine. there is no way management and rca would set-up a website, record a video and send it out in emails for the fun of it. a new album is just around the corner. once promotion starts, they've already got their calendars set and a release date penciled in. the only thing that would skewer the release is if something bad happened. promoting an album for a year would be a ridiculous waste of money.

i agree with the general feeling...

stand-up came out may 10th. we saw that album website hit late december/january, right? 4-5 months later, give or take.

we saw the new album site and the video launch late march/april. tack-on 4-5 months and we're looking at august/september.

we'll hear the first single mid-summer, a perfect time to get the mainstream fanbase excited.

release a late summer album just as college begins, followed by short winter tour and it sounds like a profitable, predictable marketing move.

[bbianca1982]

I'd say late November. Drops right during the Christmas buying period, perfect for the label and it gives the band plenty of time to tweak teh material. Absolutely no information to go on, just a feeling.

I agree with the guy a few posts up above: a 90-second video clip and a website that says nothing more than "coming soon" in no way indicates that an album is forthcoming, or "just around the corner."

[DJGeneral]

October 7 is the current date.

the website isn't up yet........................................and the video was a min long clip of basically nothing...the stand up site was a full fledged website for those 4 or 5 months...we dont have that yet...just accept that it probably wont be as early of a release as you think...and who cares...we are gonna have a sick summer tour WITH TIM!!!...they are gonna give us some great news either before, during, or right after the tour and then an album which could be one of the best so far...just accept and enjoy the process

[crashintome202]

is this an educated guess or are you "in teh know"

of course i'm enjoying the process! i never said i wasn't.

the stand-up site launched with a little video, a brief message saying "hey, new album coming soon!" and the long awaited producer announcement. all of the stand-up videos were basically of nothing.

we received the producer announcement. a new website is up...just no info on it. but just the fact that we're seeing new artwork on a new album site, a video and producer announcement are clear signals that the promo department is at work. they wouldn't be if a new album was far, far off, like last spring, when we heard through interviews and rolling stone articles that the band was in the studio.

from a business perspective, it makes no sense for rca to pay for the new album website, new artwork and video without the precise calculation of building anticipation. why string along the hardcore fan base for over a year if the release wasn't targeted for late Q3 or Q4?

from the warehouse:
"Fans attending DMB shows this summer will be the first to hear the latest material from Dave Matthews Band as the band debuts songs from their forthcoming record. DMB is currently in the studio with Rob Cavallo..."

this indicates rca is using the summer tour as album promotion.

and tim on tour? maybe i'm missing something, but the only thing i've read is the statement from tim's manager cryptically saying that tim is committed to dmb this summer. but stops short of saying he's on tour.

now, im just playing devils advocate, but it could mean he's committed the TIMe for the new album, not necessarily the tour. i don't mean to doubt anyone. but i'm not holding my breath and refuse to get hyped over it until i see tim with my own eyes.
:D

If you look at the history, 4 have been relased in spring/ summer (2 in April, 1 in July, 1 in May) and others in the fall- sep, oct, nov., esp live releases. So judging by the history, they like releasing before summer tours. I know the past can't predict the future, my guess is mid-September.
