I'd rather see pop fluff. For one, it would give me hope, that at some distant time in the future, they would again release a good album. Second, it would provide me an opportunity to rant and rave, and I do enjoy ranting and raving. :evil:

I would want the pop shit to come out. It would suck a lot more if they came out with nothing rather than coming out with shit. Anyways, the shit helps me appreciate their other cd's that much more.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I don't think it would ever happen, of course seeing Jeremy with that Chris Kirkpatrick pinnapple hair-do could be really entertaining. :lol:

I'd rather they didn't make any CD's at all. That way they'll be remembered for the great music they made, rather than how they used to be cool but decided to sell out and become another VH1 special in 10 years.

I picked number 2. I'd rather see them make something than nothing. Even if that something is crap.

I picked #1 because I think that it would just be painful to listen to their music and know that they are capable of something far greater. Fortunately I don't think it'll ever come to that, but if it did, I think I'd cry every time I listened to the cd and thought of Nav.-SM :|

I actually might. Probably not, but there is a chance. I like OLP not only for the music, but also for their personality. They are (gravity) down to earth, very friendly, drugless, smokeless, hillarious at times (Jer), intelligent (used to be Mike, but I think they all have at least some level of intelligence)... Besides, I don't think it would come to that.

Now that I think of it, I would prefer #1. I'd rather be able to look back at the "Good old days" than have them making unrespectable crap.

But, of course, I'd rather they just keep doing what they like (and hopefully what I like) for as long as possible.

They're all really smart, but Mikey just naturally radiates intelligence :mrgreen:

I'd rather burn out than fade away.

It seems like Raine would be the sort who would rather just stop writing music if he couldn't making anything good or original, anymore.

^ I would hope.

But maybe we will all get so used to seeing OLP on MTV that we start watching MTV more and more frequently and soon we'll be brainwashed by it and we'll all love crap pop instead of good music. It could happen.
