I could actually see Jer doing that, only as a joke though.. And Duncan doing it with that hair would be priceless.

Hi MindsOnLoan. I agree with you mostly. I think "White Flag" does sound a bit HIPT-ish in the verses, almost just spoken words like the Hunter's Lullaby, but the chorus doesn't. I think the chorus reminds me a bit of Life or Right Behind You from SM. I like the lyric "This whole world has gone crazy, God's gotten a little lazy".

I don't quite like The Right Stuff though, esp. the chorus like you said. I could have written better lyrics with no arms. This one definitely rings of HIPT, and I hope it doesn't make the album.

But overall, they're improving. If I didn't see an album before 2011, I'd be happy to wait if that's how long it took for them to find themselves, connect to their music and their fans again. Of all the new material we've heard, I'd have to say the chorus of White Flag is the best yet, then Dreamland, then TRS.

(By the way, to all noobs... that's sort of a running CM joke... cos OLP never delivers when they say they will.)

2020? Nikki, you're underestimating! We probably won't get another album until their kids are grown and the guys are in wheelchairs and diapers!

Maybe the kids'll release it.

OLP v2.0: The Empire Strikes Back.



... I was gonna do "Electric Boogaloo", but I feel that one's overused.

I think OLP just like to test their fans. Release an album every 20 years and see what happens.

Nope.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling adventurous, I try to imagine what I would do on an OLP release date.
