That's your opinion, but I just don't care for what I've heard so far. I'm not attempting to be a dark horse here and bash the new material especially without hearing all of it in it's entirety - however I will say that what I've heard I just don't like. It feels generic and I know this may sound dumb, but very "un-DMB-like".

So what if the songs are a little shorter than normal? Radiohead can get accross and accomplish so much more in 3 minutes than DMB can in 7. That may sound blasphemous, and yes these are two completely different bands, but there's a point here. Solos are best really short and sweet in my opinion (for an album's sake I mean). Long-winded solos are a thing of the past now and it's all about creativity, texturing and tightness. Believe me I LOVE Two Step and #41, but that's why it's best in the live shows. I want to see what DMB's going to do this summer, hope the source material is good.

do you think that the verses of pig sounded dmb-like when we first heard them? or the slowed down and mellow ddtw?

I noticed a big change in the overall sound during the BTCS release time, I still liked what I heard. I'll be honest, I heard ED for the first tim and was like, "wow, that's different" but there were songs like So Right, When the World Ends and What Your Are - all great songs. I don't care for American Baby, it's boring, to me at least. From the other clips that I've heard it almost sounds like Some Devil which I thought was a good album and an interesting look at Dave as a solo artist.

btw, Pig reminds me of #34 in some respects.

Until I hear the full release in it's entirety it's really too early to tell, but these clips sound very B SIDE.
