thoughts on new cd

[a1075dd63aa12]

I've been so back and forth with this cd. I loved it at first, then I hated it, liked it again, hated it and now I've just settled on the fact that this is a painfully average album. There are some nice spots on it, and there are also some horrid spots on it. All in all I'm tremdously disappointed. After listening to X&Y, the music on it is so complex. There are intro's, verse's, prechorus', chorus', bridges and outro's on just about every song. You can tell these songs took them a long time to write and perfect. On the other hand listen to Stolen Away or Smooth Rider, the rhythm is so mind numbingly simple that you can tell the CD was rushed and they did indeed, just like Dave said, not spend a whole lot of time on any of the songs. I just wish DMB would get back to working their asses of in the studio again instead of taking the easy way out by hiring kiss ass producers who are just thankful to even be there in the first place.

ive said it before and ill say it again. lillywhite pushed them, he pushed "too hard" in their opinions, they parted ways, now they get producers who are just happy to have dmb on their resume. it really is a shame

Yeah it is a shame. They still have it in them, its just a matter of finding another producer who will push them to be their best again. The problem is I think they have all become very lazy, and know that they can get by with half-assing it. And these stupid music critics are letting them get away with it. Rolling Stone actually gave Stand Up a better rating than both BTCS and X&Y Can anyone explain that to me?

Yeah, theyre fucking Rolling Stone.

When it comes to album reviews, listen to my little sister before you take their advice.

I know they suck, but the average music fan who just skims their reviews and looks at the ratings is going to be influnced by what they see. So if you are a casual fan and want to start listening to DMB you should listen to Stand Up before you listen to BTCS according to them. I guess I'm trying to say that they are hurting the band by them not knowing what the hell they are talking about.

i agree, btw, jelly is going to rip us apart tomorrow

Well, hopefully they have the sense to check out old material, either just because they like the new stuff or a friend with a brain suggests it. If they just now got into DMB and cant find their way to the good, old stuff, fuck them, they should have gotten on the bus a while ago. Hopefully they catch a concert and realize what they missed.

Yeah your definitely right. I just wish other people knew that RS doesn't know shit. It seems like the majority of people take their reviews to be the gold standard.

Honestly, people who cant see through that, I really dont want them listening to my favorite band, their taste is so bad they dont deserve DMB.
