I would wait too. I would love to see a dvd of the clumsy/spiritual shows in the mean time. but for all of you saying the longer you wait the better the quality, think back to Happiness and Spiritual machines. A little over a year a part and they are two brilliant albums.

Listening to some OLP for the first time in awhile right now... While each of us have our own preferences for how they'd like the album to sound (mine personally being something like Happiness or SM), I really just hope the album is something both the fans and the band can be proud of. An album with no skippable tracks. Something I can proudly play and say "Yeah, this is OLP." Something outside the box, a little quirky, but not afraid to have a strong hook. Not too ballad-y, but have a certain art to the heavier songs. Interesting writing, musicianship, time signatures, etc...

Idk, just listening to some of this stuff for the first time in a few months gave me to urge to make a post like this.

I'm starting to miss the constant daily postings from everyone on the CM, and hopefully as the release of the album nears people will start posting again. And given Raine's solo record release date, can we still expect the 8th album to release within 2011?

I agree with MOL in the above post, and if the Recording Sessions videos are any indication of what we can expect, things are looking good.

I particularly love the bit with vocals from Recording Sessions 2 (the whole whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa thing is very "old Raine" and erratic/atmospheric), the instrumental piece in Recording Sessions 3 (from 0:25 onward), and the Story of 100 Aisles guitar vibe in Recording Sessions 4. The music in Recording Sessions 1 has much more of a Burn Burn vibe to it when compared to the other session videos, and it sounds a bit generic, almost like Waiting for Something to Happen.

I agree with you...i want an album that can be like SM or Happiness...in terms of quality of course...

I wonder if any songs will be written about Raines polar bear adventures.

Speaking of...Strombo is running his Polar Bear special again next Friday...21st. And did anyone catch Raine (and Chantal) singing at the opening of the Christmas special?

But look at what they're titling these videos. 3 months ago they were "writing sessions." Now they're "recording sessions" which mean if they're not trying to give us false hope, they're getting close to finishing this thing. The next series of videos might be called "mixing sessions or "mastering sessions" or if we're lucky, "packaging sessions."

Yeah, they have four recorded. Jer told us they almost had four more ready to be recorded in December when we did the chat with him thanks to Coalition... and today his Facebook status says he's in LA! :mrgreen:

Yeah, saw that Facebook status and got excited. Hope we get some new videos soon, that most recent song sounds awesome (Writing Session 4).

Agreed it does sound awesome. Also the vocals by Raine in video 2 I think, the whooaa ohhh ohh they sound promisingly different

Instrumentally everything is sounding sexy, more worry is still the vocals
