Didn't I read somewhere that Danny Barnes was a guest on the album playing the Banjo.... Any idea which songs he played on? I know he's no Bela Fleck, but I'm hoping the banjo provides a nice touch...gotta be better than them squealing trumpets!

[Coldchillin]

I assume Cockadile

[Nitro1515]

Yeah he's on that and I think he might be on another, I'm not sure though

I have one question for everyone, why do we spend so much time harping on the guys for what they do in the studio when we know they do their best work on the road. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I didn't become a dmb fan because of their studio albums, it was the live stuff (Red Rock '95) that got me. I think we have all seen the band take a half ass album song and turn it into an awesome live song. For example, on stand up, you might die trying is boring, even when they played it back on the '05 tour it was not that good. But now, when they play it live, i think its one hell of a song. I think the same can be said for Hello Again, Raven, Big Eyed Fish, So Right, Louisiana Bayou, and Hunger for the Great Light. Though some of these songs were not that good on the studio album, live there are great. I think we need to let up on the guys and wait until they play some of this new stuff live and get a feel for it.

TWO AWESOME SONGS

Nice contribution

the raven and big eyed fish were meant to stand out... sorry, I'm a dumbass

[Coldchillin]

I saw that, but my comment still stands, haha. It was just kind of random. To add to the original post, those songs are good even on the record though...

I am starting to enjoy FTWII quite a bit. I love the pickup notes Carter hits before he fully comes in.

The guy is right, the band puts on a helluva live show.


Where they play the mediocre, lame songs they've been recording in the studio... only longer... and drawn out...

It's gotta be all Fenton's doing. Those lights are mystifying.

I believe that there are only a couple of ways this band is going to put out an album that comes close to the quality of their pre-Everyday stuff:
1.) Dave takes back primary songwriting responsibilities.
2.) The band hires Steve Lillywhite to produce their next album.
3.) ???
4. )Profit.

Sadly, #4 is the only thing likely to happen despite the obvious lack of quality product.

I agree they need Lillywhite, they aren't disciplined enough on their own. And Busted Stuff doesn't count because all the songs were already written.

we all know that isn't going to happen though, so I don't know why people keep bringing up Lillywhite.

pretty sure everyone in the band wants to forget that experience, even though the music was so good.

To illustrate the point that he played a vital part in what made the band so fucking good. We know he's not coming back.

Why is Dave Twittering about the album leaking? Is he trying to fuck with my mind?

[Coldchillin]

Songs have been leaking

[jsgksu]

I don't care about songs, I want album.

[Coldchillin]

Squirm is fucking cool, even on my first time through
