Preliminary Tracks On The Next Cd!

[WhatamNot]

It took about five months to release after he finished recording hospital music, going by that and when he will have to hit the studios I'm predicting a March, April release, leaning towards April.

I DL'd most of the demos because i thought most of these tracks wouldn't land on a CD. Woops. I regret DL'ing them now bigtime. I didn't even listen to the hospital music stream Matt put on his site a month before the CD hit cuz i wanted to wait for the CD.

[AnOceanPearl]

I don't find that listening to demos or streams ruins anything for me. With the demos, I'm always excited to hear what they sound like when they end up recorded with proper equipment, and with streams, I'm just happy to hear music that I've been anticipating for a long time and even then, popping that CD for the first time is still fantastic to me.

I agree...I listened to the Black Helicopter demo for a year (or more?) before HM came out and was still excited to hear it for the first time on the CD.

I hope that he does not do any radical shift to iTunes. He would be annoying his fans like me, who despise iTunes and Apple, and having to make an account to download one CD, does not scream joy for me. Matt does have an Apple computer, so there is some favor to apple in his decisions, but a CD quality is something you cannot really beat.

Honestly, I'd love it if he just released the album with those 8 songs.. in the fall. It doesn't sound like a summer record. Plus, the songs are so dark and long.. a succinct tracklist like that would really make an impact.

 

Also.. if anyone has a link to download these demos.. I'd.. uh.. love that.

[LordBimbly]

Um, I just read the rules regarding the new demos. My apologies for asking for them. Please disregard that.

[juanpe]

"Empty theme park" is just wonderful! I can't wait to have a clear version -not the demo one- of this song... I just love that song!

[LordBimbly]

Honestly, if Bad Pennies had better lyrics and was sung a little cleaner, it could be a single. I wish he hadn't written it off so quickly, it's catchier than Fought To Fight it.

 

and "Love, It'll Fuck you up!" is pretty awesome.

Wasn't Bad Pennies a joke though?

[Gomo]

Yeah, it was an inside joke.

[jnak00]

Too bad. The song seems reasonably fleshed out, especially for a joke. It's catchy too.

[James]

Love it, looking forward to it.

 

Haven't listened to any of the demos, don't like listening to them... will always, always wait for the new album.

 

Hope it's a bit faster then Hospital Music, I liked Hospital Music don't get me wrong.. but it could have been faster.

do it.

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Me too...can't wait...but then I HAVE just won the opportunity to hear the tracks before they hit the rest of the world, haha... ;)

[bishopx]

ARE YOU SERIOUS JANE????(There's a cool 80's song title in there somewhere)

 

Congratulations, now take me with you.

To a place where everything is unsaid?

For 4 grand.

[Crusader]

Don't be a douche. It's going to help feed the homeless in Vancouver for quite a while.

[juanpe]

it will reach Spain for sure :-)

 

I'll make sure that happens... I want many people in my country (not just my close friends) know about him...

[C-Bacon]

Based on what i've heard from the demos so far, this album has the potential to rival Avalanche. I can only imagine how good the finished product will sound.

[Crusader]

It's hard not to be biased but I'd have to agree when we've got songs like Silent Army in the Trees in the mix.

[C-Bacon]

I'm also looking forward to the prospect of Empty's Theme Park being the closer. The song is epic and uncharacteristic of his usual closers.

[juanpe]

i'm trying to reach that page in Matt's blog to listen to all the demos but for some reason it doesnt work... can anyone please write the address again?

 

thanx a lot!

[Jane Belinda Smith]

Matt removes demos after a few hours

[Gomo]

So I guess he's gonna be in the studio soon...
