has dmb peaked?

Studio wise, it's BTCS, no question.

Live wise... they did hit a peak with 98, but i think they lulled with 2000 a little bit... then dropped in 2001... raised back up again with 02 and hit another peak with central park in 03.

They peaked around BTCS.

yea, i'll agree that BTCS was their best album, hands down. but do you think they will ever put out another album as good as that, or even as good as Crash/UTAD, or do you think they'll just keep screwing around with exotic producers and trying to keep tinkering with their sound? is it possible they've gotten bored with themselves? i'm just brimming with questions

i think they are looking for someone who will change their sound, but in a good way, that can make an album like steve did. now if that person exists i dont know, but if he does itll be a kick ass album

seriously why the hell not?? why use people like ballard and batson, go with the man, dave obviously admires his work, why not go with the man. I just cant understand it.

i also feel they peaked around BTCS, when you listen to that album it is absolutley flawless in every aspect. i listened to that after stand up (not bashing it) but the BTCS is absolutely incredible.

What do you think Stand Up would have been like if the day before recording started, Batson fell off a cliff cause his fity CD was to loud and he lost his balance, and Lanois became the producer. I wonder what the album would be like.

i agree lanois would be awesome, and i wouldnt mind some producer artist colaborations unlike with album where what batson does is shit

DMB's music live and studio-wise was at it's peak during the BCTS era, now I understand they had to fulfill a contract with RCA, but unless they decide to work with the right people again I'm sorry, I've lost interest.

Is there a reason Lanois hasn't produced yet? Has the band or DL said anything?

No idea.

I beleive that SU was the final contractually obligated release under DMB's RCA contract. If this is true, who knows if they'll re-sign or use ATO records, or if they'll even make more music.

I believe DL is Warner Bros. Records. Could this be the factor? I don't know. It's so difficult to determine whether this union is even possible, everything we say is only speculation.
