Re: If this was the next album, where would it rank for you?
1). Before These Crowded Streets
2). Crash
3). Under the Table and Dreaming
4). Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King
5). Away From the World
6). LP9
7). Busted Stuff
8). Everyday
9). Stand Up
A couple of thoughts:
Honestly, Busted Stuff might rank higher if it weren't for the flat, uninspired production. It's a great collection of tunes though.
About LP9: I honestly have my doubts regarding any '04-'06 unreleased tunes showing up on this record. I'd love to see them show up, but I just can't help but feel that it's not in the cards. I get the feeling that the band takes pleasure in writing new material, and finds it more appealing than using old songs from their catalog on a new record. But what do I know, really?
Also, I personally like these new songs myself. Not more than the '04-'06 tunes in question, but I think some of the new stuff takes more heat than is deserved.
As long as Be Yourself and Plastic Girl don't rear their ugly heads, I think LP9 will be just fine.
