also the root stays the same, so these songs wont change much, if anything a jam will be added for tim to solo over, but solo dave theyll be boring as fuck

The more I mess around with some of these, the more I see your point.

Most of the songs are still guitar driven (Dream Girl, Stand Up, American Baby, Smooth Rider, Everybody Wakeup, Hello Again, Louisiana Bayou, Stolen Away, You Might Die Trying, and Hunger). With Tim, there is a chance for all of these songs to be played and not sound too bland.

ya i am the same way some of the songs are like to slow and dont seem worth learning, hunger for the great light is a awsome song to play it is a faster song that gets you goin, at least it gets me goin it is prolly one of the best songs on this albulm,,, but i learned about half of them,, it is something to do and at least you can say you learned them so what the hell you might as well,,,,, later

I think there are maybe two or three songs that could sound good acoustically, in the D & T. Most definatley dreamgirl has potential. But overall, i think dave has reached a point in his songwriting life, where he feels he needs, or has to develop a new style, simply becuase he has written so many great great songs, that he needs new direction. Imagine if you were good enough to write a song like the stone, a very unique, creative, and pretty amazing piece of work - and that was about 7 or 8 years. Now what, can he write even better songs than some of his past classics- we all know what these are. Imagine the pressure he must feel to live up to his past songs. I think the new cd is good, but kinda lacks that dmb feel that makes them special. Its just not that exciting. But compared to most albums released this year, its still probably gonna be one of the best. crazy. It just sux that we are getting to the end of an era. Maybe one, possibly two more studio release from DMB. They still rock.
