Honest prediction...

What do you honestly think will happen with the new album? This is not how you WANT it to be, but how you actually think it will turn out...

Re: Honest prediction...

I think it will be good. I always have good predictions for stuff. I'm not gonna think negatively of it.

Re: Honest prediction...

At least as good as BS, if not better than UTTAD, in my book.

They have all the ingredients to produce an exemplary album...it is really not possible for them to fail.

Re: Honest prediction...

In my wildest dreams, this album picks up where "You Never Know" left off.

Hoping it's gonna be good but I don't think it will be up to par with the Big 3.

So, "Gets the job done. A step in the right direction"

I think it will get the job done. Good, not great. Although I hope it will be their best album yet!

Re: Honest prediction...

With Timmy Roi and Coffin and Rashawn sharin their music with us...not to mention dave and the guys...this album has potential to be their best yet. Especially since a lot of us are going to be sharing in on the emotion of losing such a man like Leroi and knowing this is the last thing he worked on.

Re: Honest prediction...

Better than anything since BTCS. So I voted for on par with the Big 3, though it may be slightly lower than that.

Re: Honest prediction...

On par with the Big 3. The reason i say this because Tim himself has said that he likes what is going on in the studio. Tim knows his music and knows what he is talking about.

Taking everything into consideration (Condition of the band, work-ethic, time of sessions, Roi's untimely death in relation to writing, production team, and environment) - I am rather confident too Brendan.

I agree . I think better than Busted Stuff, likely (key word) likely below the Big 3.

I don't know if any new album will be as good as BTCS is for me, but I certainly hope it is!

Re: Honest prediction...

i think if it's on par with the big 3 then it will be in the race for the best album yet...but i dont see them making THAT good of an album that I listen to it and automatically put it above BTCS...maybe over time if it's that good and the songs develop live

Better than an unfinished album, that we have no idea how it might have finally sounded? I mean, it's pretty easy to be better than that.

Hopefully it's as good as Some Devil, which I rank below the Big 3, but above the other 3.

You forgot to add an entry for 'no prediction'. It's hard to predict with no real information.

I put step in the right direction because I think it will be good but how good I really have no idea until I hear a little something.

That's true. I guess we'll get a better idea once we hear a single...

I've enjoyed every album. I predict I will enjoy this one. I also predict people will cry like babies that its not as good as the old stuff. I predict I will ignore all that whining like I always do.
