SPINOFF: Do you WANT a new DMB album?

At this point in their career and your fandom do you want the band to release a new studio album full of new songs?


This is not talking about the "live not live" idea that includes old songs such as Shotgun, Crazy Easy, Idea of You, Sugar Will, etc

Only new songs like ones written since AFTW

Poll coming.

    Why would anyone on a fan forum for DMB not want new DMB music?

    Re: SPINOFF: Do you WANT a new DMB album?

    I'd love to see some new stuff produced. I didn't get into the band until 2014 so by then AFTW was already a few years old. Considering i'm only 21, I haven't been around to see any new studio stuff released for the most part.

    I'm always ready for new music. DMB never gets old for me but I'd still want new material.

    Many people here seem indifferent to it at best. While I'll happily buy, listen, obsess over any new material they may release I certainly don't need them to make another studio album.

    As it stands now the album would be something like this unless scrapped or seriously reworked.

    Black & Blue Bird
    Bob Law
    Samurai Cop
    Bismarck
    Here On Out
    Death On the High Seas
    Virginia In the Rain
    Be Yourself
    Plastic Girl

    Seeing as how the songs the last two summers were mediocre at best, I'll pass. Sam Cop and Bismark are the only two I liked.

    Yes. If they're not going to put Sugar Will, IOY, Crazy Easy etc on it, then I'd want brand new songs plus Virginia, Samurai Cop, and Bismarck.

    More material from my favorite band > less material from my favorite band

    Edit: On top of that i've really enjoyed Samurai Cop and Bismarck and some of the other newer tunes. Would love to have studio cuts. And I think Dave and the band have plenty more good music in them.

    I'll take a new album. This is going to come off as hating newer stuff but new material will probably mean hearing less Big Whiskey or Away From the World songs in the live setting. DMB knows where there bread is buttered so a setlist will always have a healthy dose of " The Big 3".

    How much AFTW did we ever get though? BW was run ragged... AFTW we hardly heard. They've slowed down on BW though a lot, in place of songs like DOTHS, VITR, Bismarck, etc, which they played almost as much as BW back when it was being released (ie a whole lot).

    I went with 'NO' - it could dilute their earlier material (up until Stand Up, which IMO translates well live) in the live setting further, which is not something I'd want. If it's the quality of songs since BW, count me out. I think Dave's writing is going downhill, so I'd want them to cut their losses

    I know, it's kinda absurd. Lots of people here are supposed fans of AFTW.

    I don't have some strong desire for a new DMB album at this point but I certainly wouldn't be upset with one. I'd be happy to hear new tunes, I just wouldn't have high expectations for them.

    Well let's be honest - there's a decent chance that overall it will be subpar.

    I still voted "yes", since every album has at least a couple gems (even AFTW and Stand Up).

    Yes I want an album, but no I do not want them to have an album in the sense of how overplayed it would be on the following tour. But if it fuels their creative juices to do some stuff like they were doing in 2010 and 2013.. id be for it.

    No I don't want a new album.

    We will get 2 maybe 3 good songs and the rest will be shit. The 2 good songs will be the ones that will be shelved live and the shit songs will get played into the ground.

    That's exactly how this band works

    then why are you a fan anymore? seriously. what you just said is either the stupidest fucking thing i've ever read, or the BIG FLASHING SIGN that you need to move on.

    i'm not upset they made Stand Up, because it gave us a few good songs.
    i'm not upset they made Big Whiskey, because it gave us a few good songs.

    i'm quite happy they made AFTW, as i think it's a really good album.


    if you like the older stuff better, that's fine. but the band can not be idle for the next 20 years playing old stuff. if you're not growing, you're dying. they need to get to the studio.

    not to mention - Black and Blue Bird, Samurai Cop, Bismarck, and Bob Law are really great songs. if they made an album on that level, i'd be ecstatic.

    Yes - mostly new (previously unheard) material with a few recently worked on tunes if they work with overall flow of album... then, bonus tracks of previously heard material

    Other than over half of SU, and a lot of AFTW, Dave has been doing pretty well by himself.

    surprised for lack of love on Here On Out. Definitely think it's one of the better songs.

    I got into them in 2007 so I feel you- I wasnt there for the big Lillywhite/Everyday explosion. The anticipation for Big Whiskey was off the charts though- I will say I'm happy to have had that time to get that pumped for a release.

    I'm always hopeful for a new album. I think it gives them new energy and I'd love a new batch of songs to put in the rotation. (And let's face it, to analyze, study and repeat over and over. I love listening for nuances in studio albums.)

    Re: SPINOFF: Do you WANT a new DMB album?

    Just a thought
    Watch

    Only my opinion but DMB has faded into trying to reinvent itself
    That's not good for them or us
