I could care less what songs they decide to record.
My only desire is that the next album is laid down in a real studio with an above average production team using the live approach of Deuce.
This band\'s strength is it\'s live playing it should be emphasized.

Whatever happened to the idea that Tim had years back, a double album of songs never played live?

I personally think it should be new material that goes onto the next studio album. One or two songs from the classics yet recorded tunes (exp: TGSOT - great placement on RR), but the rest new material. To me, the whole idea of going into a studio and making an album is creating something new, not recording a bunch of songs that have already been refined by years of being played live (and the the Jordan era of the band). The album should be only songs that this band (Tim, Adrian, Ron and Matt) has written.

I disagree. I think the polished material is exactly what they should lay down in the studio. Who says they can\'t release a couple albums in the next year and a half anyways? Get in now and lay down these polished tracks in 2 days, add what\'s needed through the mixing process, and continue to work on new material that will eventually find itself on an album in the not so far future. It\'s something they should do, imo.

Either way I guess leith is right, I don\'t care all that much what they record as long as they approach it in a live manner. I\'d just love to have quality studio versions of all these great tunes. And like I said before, there are sooooooo many people in this scene who still haven\'t even heard TB and these songs on one thick album could bring them some serious praise from the "jamband media" such as relix and jambase. So yeah, I lied, I guess I do care.

I continue to disagree, the name may still be The Breakfast, but it\'s a different band than when Jordan was with them, and when they were a Trio. If they had already recorded the songs and released them as some sort of special B-Side package, then I would agree. But to go into a studio and record songs that are not part of "this" band\'s history would be wrong. Don\'t get me wrong, I don\'t think that the songs that were suggested wouldn\'t make a good album. But if they\'re going to incur the debt to the label, then they should do it with something new, not just because there\'s pressure to get something out. I think this incarnation of the band sounds great, let\'s not rush them to get something out, just because fans feel it\'s time for a new studio album.

All I\'m saying is that this is the same band, but it isn\'t. I just think that the next album, unless it\'s live, should be a new and collaborative effort on new songs between all current members of the band.
