Stand Up proves why DMB is one of the best bands out there | Thread profile

I was just listening to The Idea of You from LT6 an hour or so ago in my car, and suddenly something came to me. First off, that song just reminds me of summer, so i started thinking of the band and touring and what not. next i thought about how awesome this new song was; it sounded like the real DMB. And that made me think...what about stand up WASNT the "real dmb". For anyone who watched ...

::reads thread title again, head explodes::

Agree to disagree but well put together.

mmmmmkkkkk

The Idea of You-- (Great song)

I think there are equally balanced pros and cons to Stand Up, but you highlight some of the very obscure and--often times--overlooked pros of Stand Up. Good thoughts man. One thing, though--I hate the "better than 80% of stuff out there" line because they shouldn't be goaling to be better than 'most' people, they should strive to be equally as good if not better than they were on previous albums...

So it's great, because you're pretty much right with everything you said. Although your thread title made me do a double take. You made your point though. It is better than 80% of what is out there. But the 80% is made up of Hilary Duff, Kevin Federline and probably someone else with no talent... But that brings up another point...has DMB ever made the best music of the day? When BTCS ...

I'm not sure I understand the logic behind the thread title, but I am excited for the new album!!!

I actually do like the logic. They were able to take a crappy album and make the songs on it very enjoyable live. Especially Bayou, ABI, and the newly redone YMDT (better in 06 than in 05). Not many bands could do this. DMB is able to change their own music, most bands play songs exactly like what is on the album.

Exactly right IMO but I'm surprised the flames hasn't been thrown at you yet for your thread title alone.
