Release Date Prediction

[emtphish]

I predict the release date of new studio album will be in between Gorge and Berkeley. What else to do with a week off then to release a new cd and haev Berkeley be the cd release 3 day show.

[berman1125]

Feb 09, (fact);)

[Caveat Emperor]

12/09/08.

Mark it, Dude.

[eliottv99]

:thumbsup Feb 09, (fact);)

Good call. That's when I'm thinking.

[proppenator]

ok, maybe I don't get the whole album production thing, but why exactly does it take so long? I can understand why the writing would take a while, but why does post-production take so long? If they get all their new songs written on the road, then record them, what is keeping them from releasing the album in september or october? Why does post-production have to take months and months?

[dmbongreyst]

I think with the writing on the road, it's tough for them to pinpoint a release date, all the writing and recording will most likely be done on the fly. I think they will lay tracks to capture their ideas and then take those tracks to the studio and master them, in my opinion, I don't see them recording the actual album on the road. I have no problem with it being done, I just think they can get the best possible product in a studio with the creativity to use different instruments that they won't have to lug around the country and having the relaxation of being literally idle will make it easier for them to put out the best album that they can do.

They tried this before...it's called Stand Up.

[dmbongreyst]

They also tried it with every other album before that too. Most bands don't record albums on the road, they do that in a studio.

Berman would stand outside Litho with a picket sign to get this album in 09

[spoot388]

sometime between next wednesday and 2011

[DerekJTR2]

Release It On Halloween!

[BigEyedFerg]

In my mind, there are two possibilities at hand:

Feb/March '09 --- for a product on par with the Big 3 or very close

Christmas '08 --- for a product on par with Busted Stuff...or worse

Taking into account their current attitudes toward the recording process ("taking their sweet time" and "no deadline") I'd say they're shooting for a late Winter or early Spring '09 release. Lets just cross our fingers the wait will reap a product worthy of being included in the Big Four

:hump

[JTR&PIG]

the record companies are gonna cash in again with this christmas release...you know this is gonna happen

[AntsCrushMe]

November for sure then a mini winter tour

[Sniper15]

I love how people think that if they take longer to release it it's going to automatically be a better album than if they release it late this summer

[aoeiifreak]

Yeah, I'd think that the band spending too much time on their songs, getting tired of them and frustrated with them etc. would be just as bad as prematurely releasing...might even end up with a LWS-caliber throwout of all the new songs.

[dre2142]

Not in 08

[DerekJTR2]

I love how people think that if they take longer to release it it's going to automatically be a better album than if they release it late this summer

Well some people here are logical in that view, hoping that the hard work and more time will allow a better album to be produced and think that the time it would take puts that date to be around early 09. Like Berman

Other people just say without thinking that more time = better album, regardless of anything to do with the music

Same view basically, but some don't have good reasons for it.

[dmbowa]

I had a dream last week that I met Dave at the Gorge and he told a few ants and I that the release date would be October 18, 20, or 21. (I dont remember which, because my friends and I argued over which of those three dates we heard him say).

I know it doesn't mean anything, just throwing it out there :lol

[BigEyedFerg]

I love how people think that if they take longer to release it it's going to automatically be a better album than if they release it late this summer

In my opinion, taking more time to release the album [hopefully] means making quality decisions about the direction of songs. It's obviously not set in stone, and they could very easily still screw up even if they take another year to make this album, but going off of Dave and Cavallo's comments, it seems like they're really trying to make some special here, and that does not happen overnight, aka during the summer

[bubba40]

I guess November

[clcfball11]

Im hoping for at the end of, or right after the summer tour...and then a winter stadium tour to promote it =)

[Pig17]

December 3rd 2008, to go hand in hand with the 10th Anniversary release of the greatest show ever for Live Trax 13.

no its not even that, its not that i want them to spend more time on an album because that will make it a greater album. im just looking at what we know. we know cornbread is not done. thats basically the only lock that we know of. there is no deadline, as stated by cavallo, there is no studio website, one 90 second studio clip.

there is one month until the tour starts. the only way it gets done this year, is if a.they finnish recording in this next month, or b. they finnish recording by mid october.

[Hop_Sing]

Two weeks ago last Tuesday.

[jiggajm18]

now that you've brought that point up, i'm beginning to think we won't get it 2009.

the tour ends first week of september. there's no way they don't take at least a 3 week break after the tour (at a minimum, probably would be longer). even if they start mid-october, with all of the holidays at the end of the year they probably won't complete it before the new year.

unless they record during the tour (or have made more progress than we know of), i'd say we're not looking for a release until feb 2009

so the cavallo interview is a fake. cornbread does not sound done, and that is the only song that we really consider a lock. no website, no studio films. the fact that this interview was a fake, now gives us less info about the album now

yup.

and just b/c mgmt says the band will test new material, that doesn't mean it actually happens. they might decide at the last minute that it sucks and the only unreleased material we hear is pre-2008 unreleased songs.

[MColin28]

Definitely up in the air now that the RC interview is fake they may not be writing on the road/road prod, finishing after tour etc. I'm thinking they're much closer than we think. I'm guessing mid-late summer release like maybe Aug/Sept. I dunno why I think it's a lot closert than we expect

wouldn't they update the studio album website? wouldn't you have expected dave to at least try one new song at one of the 4 d+t songs?

[thestand]

Third week in September. Not going to take the time to look up what that date is.

[chr35919]

Third week in September. Not going to take the time to look up what that date is.dude, why didn't you save us from the fake cavallo interview?:lorraine

[thestand]

Because the dude pretty much nailed Cavallo's personality. :lol I honestly had no idea that it was fake, nor felt like it was a possibility that it was fake. Basically everything that was said was something that, if Cavallo honestly thought those things, he would say it just like the person who wrote it would. I mean, it's fucking ridiculous and stupid that anyone took the time to do that, but still, hats off to that guy for nailing the impersonation. :lol

[jordanbball17]

is that speculation? or based on some amount of fact?
because i know youve been spot on with other stuff before :thumbsup

[thestand]

That's complete speculation. Sorry, probably should've clarified. It's based on the idea that I think they could feasibly finish this material in the studio by the end of May, and release it once the tour is over. They could also decide to work on it again after the tour, which would probably push it back to 1st quarter 09.

But based on everything I've heard, they have enough material to finish in May. I don't know how done all of the material is, though, so that's a big factor.

You would think so but I think they're saving new footage for the tour. Get last effort push at public to snag last minute tickets. It's gonna be a great summer for us fans though. As I said, I really think it'll be Aug/Sept. I don't know why but it just fits. Plus that gives them time to plan a winter tour ala Stand Up to push it too. I'm guessing we get another video/website launch 1st week of May.

[thestand]

Again guys, even though they liked making Stand Up and still do like material from it, they do understand what fans think of it: more than some people think. In my mind, them having the album site up for a long time, like it was for Stand Up, probably isn't something they'd want to do. So if the new album site does go live in 2 weeks as it's rumored to, I'd have to think the release will be sooner rather than later.

[bradshaw06]

anyone know when the stand up site was announced and went live?

[thestand]

I think it was up for 4 months before the release.

[DerekJTR2]

there is no deadline, as stated by cavallo

Great...we were fuckin' duped. UGGGG

Rumored from who? Just what people are saying or one of your sources? I'm hoping one of yours. Because then I'll get my hopes up for that. I'd expect it sometime in May regardless before the tour starts.

I had heard May 1st personally about 2 weeks ago, but I didn't post that because it was only one person telling me that. But I have no doubt it'll happen in early May, and the 12th makes sense, time-length wise. Someone else said May 12th, not one of my "sources". But I'd have to say I believe that date.

I agree. I also think we are going to get the album sooner rather than later.

Just a gut feeling.

Besides, it shouldn't take this long to make an album period. Also there is no excuse for puting out so few albums in eight years. To me that speaks of decline and/or over thinking the music.

[Kevinbstbll9]

Shortly after the summer tour then a winter tour to promote the album. What days in the fall are cds usually released? For example September 11th is a usual one, what others?

[DJGeneral]

The current date (confirmed in RS) is "early October" aka October 7.

Current date means it can change at any second.

To me that speaks of decline and/or over thinking the music.I think it speaks of a loss of confidence. Everyday had, well, let's say a bipolar response to it. Acclaim from critics who hadn't been fans of the band, and a negative reaction by some of their longest fans. They put out Stand Up and really honestly enjoyed making the product, and it was received terribly, pretty much all around the board. They were a band that couldn't do wrong for a decade, and recently, they haven't done much right. So I don't really mind them waffling with this one, as long as A) they have someone in their with them that knows what they're doing, and B) the band both honestly enjoys the album AND thinks it's a good piece of work, and not something that they just enjoyed.

I agree to a degree but I am of the opinion that this decline is not Dave's fault but rather the band's.

I've said it before.....Some Devil proves Dave's ability to write a solid album. If you take the bulk of writing out of his hands you get Stand Up. I don't think from a writing stand point anyone can argue that Stand Up is better than Everyday, which was written mainly by Dave.

I predict October 21 (the day before my birthday).

i gotta agree with both of you. it seemed like the guys did have fun making stand up, and they thought that was enough to make us like it. maybe if the stand up sessions got out, we could have told them how bad they were:lol. and some devil is great work. it shows that dave still has it in him, just maybe not as much. because i dont blame the band for the shitty writing, dave just has writers block sometimes

i honestly dont know what to believe anymore about this album. that interview being fake sucked. but im stubborn, so im sticking with feb 09

[dre2142]

09....yes

[JunkBondTrader]

i highly doubt we have to wait until 09 for a new album

[dmb5570]

i honestly think if this website goes live as soon as they are saying, theres no way we wait that long until 09, plus whats the point of releasing an album months before a tour comes out. sometime within the tour or right at the end would be a lot more exciting, especially if they play some new songs on the road and they actually are well liked, could really build some momentum.

[Milenk]

November 20

[TwoStep2888]

October-ish.

[marco j]

October-ish.

If they don't surprise us with a release at the begining of the tour, that's my rough guess as well.

[bubba40]

Yeah I'm thinking October or November too.

[number4ty1]

September 08, followed by a Fall/ Winter Tour in Europe !

If this new album winds up being great, I want them back in the studio as soon as possible, to keep the creative juices flowing.

[DJGeneral]

It is in no way possible for the CD to be released before the first week of July.

[DJGeneral]

I can confirm (as of now) the album will be out before Thanksgiving 2008.

It all depends on how long Dave waits to shoot the music video...and that all I can say without risking my friends job, and even mine.

I said (guessed) late November earlier in this thread, but if the finished album isn't turned in by the time they go on tour, you can bet your ass they're going to want to go back and re-record some tracks based on the evolution of songs throughout the summer. That means first-quarter 2009 at the earliest.

I agree that they're overthinking things too much, and going back into the studio to perform tweaks certainly seems in character for the band at this time. Hope that's not the case, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that things have been delayed again come August/September.

[winterscold]

For all we know they could be done with the whole album and just screwing with us and making us wait.

According to his information, it is. Whether or not that is true is debatable. It comes down to what you consider "done", though. They're in Seattle, and they certaintly aren't sitting there doing nothing. But it's not like they're still newly developing things, persay.

Yessir or 1st week of October

[Branty]

I'm gonna make a guess and say sometime in the week of 17th November 2008. I think the summer tour will finish. The music done so far will be reviewed and tweeked where necessary and any other ideas that have came out from tour will be added. Also I have not heard if Rashawn Ross and Butch Taylor were in the studio. So if they were not then I reckon they will add their layers to the songs.

So I'm gonna say sometime in the week of 17th November 2008.

[crushme5]

Album Release Date:

Tuesday July 22, 2008

That's my best guess. This album will drop this summer. The first single will hit radio the week of May 19th. We will find all this out on May 12th when the new album website goes live.

[crashintome202]

too soon. i keep hearing that May 12th date so we'll see but the single and the release date are too soon

[Flip36]

I believe this album will be released after the tour (duh), focused on the holiday season. I hope there is a fall/winter tour!

[Kook]

a november release sounds good to me. ...with a little MSG in december!

:bounce

...but the one thing that strikes me is the "recording on the road." if what jake says is right (about there being a long way to go), then i can't see the album coming out this year. it's easy to pop into a local studio and lay down ideas, but as far as final takes - specifically dave's vocals - it doesn't seem possible during a tour. it would make sense to record dave's voice after a period of rest, like this fall, post the album and ship it in the spring.

or maybe jake is wrong and they're close to finished.

Well, he's been wrong before (ex: Fool to Think being a bad song). :D
I hope it's out this year sometime. I can't wait to hear the new material.

[MexicoDMB]

Now I'm thinking there might be one more small session before the tour starts but the album probably won't get finished before then. So they'll likely go out on the road and flush out some lyrics and then go back into the studio after the tour ends for hopefully a holiday release/tour. But that is my guess. What do I know???? From TDC... sounds like "????" has inside info... at least from the reaction he gets when he posts

[aw625]

If you go through and read his past posts it's clear to me he is very close to the band. And he has some really interesting things to say. I always look forward to his posts (they are very rare) and I'm disappointed in this last one as his last post had this album being finished up soon.

If you go through and read his past posts it's clear to me he is very close to the band. And he has some really interesting things to say. I always look forward to his posts (they are very rare) and I'm disappointed in this last one as his last post had this album being finished up soon.
i lurk around there sometimes since i can't join right now but he seems to be legit

So what?! Some Devil didn't take long to record.

Zero chance that this album is as bad as Stand Up with Tim Reynolds there.

It's a complete impossibility. That's why I'm so pumped

[dmb5570]

thats the only person over there that still says it is coming out soon, and even his date is pushed back from earlier thoughts. its just crazy how in the span of a week people went from thinking 09, then thinking it would be the summer, and are now slowly making their way back towards 09, all without any news. 1)either people are hearing things from their sources, 2)a few people change their mind and the general consensus follows. im hoping for #2 and then we get some info tomorrow or at least before the tour starts

edit:i went over to TDC and even ????? is thinking holiday release..........we just need some real info, no more speculation

[marco j]

Me too.:thumbsup

[DerekJTR2]

What hasn't changed is that we know nothing at all really, we don't have much to base our speculation off of at all.

[MPizzle06]

I'm gonna make a guess and say sometime in the week of 17th November 2008. I think the summer tour will finish. The music done so far will be reviewed and tweeked where necessary and any other ideas that have came out from tour will be added. Also I have not heard if Rashawn Ross and Butch Taylor were in the studio. So if they were not then I reckon they will add their layers to the songs.

So I'm gonna say sometime in the week of 17th November 2008.

Could make for a kick-ass few days for me

14th - my 21st
15th - Illinois vs tOSU in Champaign
18th - New DMB Album

:hump:hump

[eliottv]

woops.

[JimiThing3403]

At least this offseason is interesting.

Nothing will be worse than last years off season. The album release being pushed back and the tour not starting till august. :lorraine

[eliottv]

^ yeah that sucked bad.

[DMBlanco31]

talk around Burgettstown was late Dec 08. I do like the idea of in between Gorge and Berkeley though, sounds about right.

[RobRoy286]

never, at this point.

[bbianca1982]

May 2009, right before the start of the tour. If anyone here wants to guess 2008, I'd love a plausable explanation of how that will happen.

[ophelia43]

Haven't posted in a while, and I've enjoyed reading all of the speculation about the release date. All I have to hope for is the release of the new album sometime before I die!

[ibeheath]

Seeing as no new songs have been released this series of the tour it makes me wonder whether or not they have any new material that they want to showcase. I would also assume that no cover band material was covered in the sessions, that is just a no-brainer. So what are we left with?

We currently have two consecutive poorly executed albums to date, SU sessions and the other was from the Busted Stuff album. What went wrong? Well it doesnt matter, what we do know is that DMB knows the crowds responses to the songs/ albums and that does matter. I would imagine a seasoned band, such as DMB, would go into the recording studio with one thing on their mind, "lets just jam, have fun, explore some new stuff, and leave with an idea as to where the album should be headed." I would also imagine that the band wants to keep the new material low key, possibly for the sake that they didnt record anything and didnt leave the studio feeling like there were ready to share their concepts with the fans. What I would conclude is that they are using the first leg of the tour to keep fiddling with the new music, pound out the old music, get familiar with old school DMB, and after months of touring eventually get some new tunes out and have enough collaboration in their fingers to bring a fantastic album to life when they are done with the tour. I would mildly assume that very few new songs will be introduced this early in the tour, but by the time WPB shows come into play we may be looking at a solid 2-3 new songs. I would imagine these songs would also be re-scripted for the studio.

[DJGeneral]

Does anyone still think this could come out in 2008?

The date of October 7 has (unsurprisingly) been pushed back to Q4 08 - Q1 09.

I'm thinking March 2009 now.

[RobRoy286]

Never. Not from these sessions. Cavallo will not be the producer of their eventual album

This is a long shot, but any chance that is Anton Newcombe in your avatar?

there is none.

[DaveMB36]

What are you talking about?

[jiggajm18]

he's obviously saying that the sessions from earlier this year won't be released and that cavallo won't be their eventual producer.

[DMBVIP]

I predict the release date of new studio album will be in between Gorge and Berkeley. What else to do with a week off then to release a new cd and haev Berkeley be the cd release 3 day show.

Feb 09, (fact);)

I think with the writing on the road, it's tough for them to pinpoint a release date, all the writing and recording will most likely be done on the fly. I think they will lay tracks to capture their ideas and then take those tracks to the studio and master them, in my opinion, I don't see them recording the actual album on the road. I have no problem with it being done, I just think they can get the best possible product in a studio with the creativity to use different instruments that they won't have to lug around the country and having the relaxation of being literally idle will make it easier for them to put out the best album that they can do.

After talking to someones manager I know for sure that, DMB is not working on the CD while on tour and will not start working on it AGAIN untill after the current tour is over. Also, I found out that DMB is trying to learn one new cover song a day!! I bet they are having a blast w/ that.:hump So FEB 9 is the best estimate so far, if were lucky!!!

Correct.

[SweetUp&Down40]

my prediction is south american tour late 08 then australia/ europe march/april 09, then album release May 09, US tour start june 09

[RobRoy286]

Never.

Wrong. It's a British website, 11/7 is 11th July... ;)

[jiggajm18]

you do realize that for this to happen, they'd have to come out with new tour dates that probably won't have leroi, they'd have to record songs without leroi or find a replacement player for the new songs.

and i don't see any of that happening.

plus, by your dates, it leaves the band almost no time between overseas tours to spend time with family. and i don't see that happening either.

[bubba40]

Some Tuesday, mid April, 09

Late 09, if anything happens at all.

[jiggajm18]

^...that's not happening.

[jmdt52]

Not until a good couple of months after Roi is back at full strength. They can't possibly even consider recording anything without him being good to go.

[cntrlnydmbfan]

It would be awsome if you could upload D&T 1.25.97 for me. I would greatly appreciate it.

[jiggajm18]

are you asking me to up it?

[cntrlnydmbfan]

Yes please, I had the cassettes like ten years ago and I have no idea what happened to them.

[jiggajm18]

i'll try to have it up tonight.

[cntrlnydmbfan]

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it.

They will cash in whenever they release this album.

[FSUant212]

If there is a mini winter tour, to accompany the new album, where do you think he would go? I plan on being in Lake Tahoe for winter break (I'm a florida boy, never seen snow in 20yrs of life) so I really hop he'd come that way...

Any thoughts?

Ehh, from what we know I'd say don't bank on a winter release, and therefore no accompanying tour.:shrug
