I\'m hoping that at least half of it is material no one knows about and no one\'s heard!!!

yep, new album is being recorded Sunday through Tuesday (i believe), in Vermont..

what do you guys think about this? they certainly have enough material for it (hopefully there will also be something we haven\'t heard yet, a la Fresh Cut), but my concern is that many of these songs are brand spankin\' new, and haven\'t matured enough yet to be put down on an album forever...

thoughts?

I can understand that, but it also gives people a reason to buy the album, songs we\'ve heard a million times we might not be as excited to hear as a brand new song.....

I like the idea of getting a new album. I also feel your concern Dave. These songs don\'t have much maturity on the live circuit but perhaps this can work in the bands favor. It would be cool if they went in there without expectations on where the song is suppose to feel and go out and really do what they feel the song is. Does that make sense? Maybe?

are they recording at Zack\'s Farm?

oh and BTW: I think as long as they put the work into it, even the songs that they\'ve never played live will still sound fuckin great, as long as the time goes into it.....

A young band should put out an album every year or so. (easy for me to say)
out of sight=out of mind
As far as "maturing" the songs my first thought was that GD put out 3 of their best ablums : Live/Dead, Working Man\'s Dead and American Beauty within a 14 month time span. Many of their most well known classics are on these albums.

I\'LL FREAK\'N DO IT!!!!!!

Spacey and i have been all over flyers, tour posters promo and want not... give it to Spacey whatever. **** just needs to start getting done properly and promply, somone needs to light a fire under everyones ass to do everything they can even it\'s giving a couple flyers to friends posting on other boards or going to local big shows and handing out flyers and samplers, whatever but someone needs to be always on top of this ****.

i have mixed feels, i always hear people give a little meh on some first time played but after 3-4 live shots at it matures quit quickly and becomes the next great tune. but to put out and album with a bunch of never playeds is exciting and makes me want to buy it as soon as it\'s released. but it think the songs must change a bit once there played a couple times maybe not lyrically but emphasis and timing wise. it\'s a tough call.

Me!- that\'s us though, we see these guys just about every week it\'s easy for us to say we heard it 50 times, some folks have never even had to see the perform songs that are in the regular rotation

I hated Future Peek when I first heard it. I was the one who stated it was, dare I say, Umphrey\'s? After hearing it in Boston, I loved it. I think this tune will be great in the Studio because of the way the music sounds layered.

Sometimes, some of these songs we hear as "meh" might work out better in the studio. ****, most of the main stream music is heard through an album before it is heard live. Also, this might get people out to shows to hear these songs that they heard of the album, of course, people will need to buy the album first.

most bands produce records then see where they go live. plus, you\'re much more receptive to a song the first time you hear it live if you\'re already familiar with the studio recording. for example, when they debuted fresh cut, i\'d already heard the studio recording an ass load of times so the song had already grown on me. i dunno maybe that comes from the fact that i\'ve spent a lot of my musical years not in a jam band setting, in more of a mainstream music business world. i think this is the right time to do the record. i think that bringing songs into the studio when they are really fresh allows them to be shaped easier and provides for a much better record.

i\'ll agree with that logic
