karma Rex, and you too Gurreb

[rexrupert]

Do you think "Lucyfur" will make the album or do you think that will just be an unreleased track? It surfaced in time to be a B-Side for a OBTN single but it never made it out.

[alexisss29]

I don't know why, but for some reason I have a bad feeling that this is gonna be their last album...

[NikLovesLeb]

^^^^Based on what?

(well, if they call it "Altar Call" then you would be correct.)

I am hoping for the sake of many band members that it isnt so, b/c then many of them will soon die of alcoholism if the band is over.

[alexisss29]

I don't know, I guess because they're all getting older. (And people are talking about Caleb's receding hairline and it's freaking me out!)
It's just a feeling I have, it's not something I read in a review or magazine article.

[NikLovesLeb]

People have been talking about his hairline since 2004. It's been 6 years. Still the same hair.

I guess time will tell. But it doesnt seem like they'd disband cold turkey.
Question is---will they have things to write about? Since their lives seem to be pretty sheltered. Suppose this new album will be a good indicator of where they are heading.

[Erin]

Hahaha Caleb's receding hairline makes you worried about there ever gonna be a 6th album? His hairline's been receding since the start of the band. "18 balding star" anyone?

And if 30 is old, then come bury me now.

[rexrupert]

U2 got older, The Edge lost his hair. . . where are they now? Probably the biggest band in the world. I think they will take a long break after this album (3 years) perhaps if one gets bored he might jump in and start a side project but for the most party I doubt this is their last album. I agree with NikNorris, one for sure would die of alcoholism.

[Nee]

Geez, for serious? Not all rockstars fall so young (and please, 30 is not old).

[alexisss29]

It kinda seems like they're not all on the same page anymore. If the breaks keep getting longer and longer, soon there won't be a break, they'll just be done. And going with NikNorris, their lives have become pretty sheltered, so I don't know, we'll wait it out and see.

And I'm definitely not saying 30 is old.

[kultbert]

omg, i'm listening 2 those live tracks right now and what can i say??? this band knows how to come up with something new every single album!! awesome! mary sounds like a great epic heartbreak song, radioactive shows how incredible matt is on guitar and nate on drums...and wow, i fell in love with 'southbound' after the first 5 seconds in...what a beautiful song!

4 words left to say:

I ADORE THIS BAND

[Erin]

I was thinking that too, from those 4 new songs, how they manage to come up with something new all the time, yet still remain to be very much just be them.

[beplumcrazy]

the idea that this would be their last album is stupid.

i'm in a bad mood today so i'm gonna stop now and log out. (i'm trying erin... i'm trying really hard! )

[alexisss29]

I didn't mean to make such a big thing out of me having a feeling this would be their last album. I'm sorry. Reading over it again, I'm realizing it was a stupid thing to say. My bad... :/

[Erin]

Recap from some posts on this page

Nee: I hope you saw the videos, cos I believe the majority has already been removed again.

Nik: "Altar Call" is only 3 syllables, that's never gonna be an album title.

Carrie: I know. I'll send out positive thoughts that Friday will still be on. ('cos I can't type when I have my fingers crossed.)

[Nee]

No, Erin, I didn't see the videos. But that's okay. I'm sure some more will pop up somewhere. Carrie, I'm sure Caleb's voice will recover (I'm guessing this is what put you in a bad mood?) by then! Hope he is ingesting large amounts of licorice lozenges.

[rockchick26]

Damnit I missed the videos!!! If I could have been home last night, I would have made mp3's of all of them before they were taken down! Fook me.

And what's this Altar Call!? I thought the album was gonna be called Come Around Sundown? Did I miss something? (Probably)

[Erin]

You didn't miss something, you just didn't read the posts correctly/get the joke. Obviously Nik (& I) were joking about that Altar Call title.
