    I almost find it insulting to hear anyone thinks they sound like KOL. I really am not a fan of them. Im still trying to really get into qotsa. I dunno, they both kind of bore me when I work through their stuff. Highly Suspect was just this immediate click. 

    And yeah, that version pearl linked above is very good too
    Well, that's how it goes. Specific artists' music just really, really speaks to some people, while others think the same music is total crap, lol. For example... there seem to be a tons of PJ fans who also think DMB is amazing.... Ugh, omg, DMB is the WORST as far as I'm concerned and I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that people who are touched deeply by PJ could also find DMB appealing in any way. But the DMB people are nuts for that shit! =)  Go figure. If I'm "missing something", then I'm fine with that, lol.

    Other than 2 songs, just about the only thing I like about DMB is that he seems like a genuine and good person.

    Oh sure, I believe you. Same with Dave Grohl with the Foos. I hate his voice, but he seems like a really great guy. The whole band seem like great guys. They are super likeable, despite their canned rock. I get how they probably have a good stage presence. Although I can't go that for about Dave Matthews. I got stuck at a DMB show once and I really wasn't going for their stage vibe at all. I assume many others do though - fans seem to think their shows are fantastic for some reason.

    From their facebook...

    “Ok so we’re just gonna be super transparent and candid here on Facebook as a sort of official announcement to let you know the plan. Everyone’s been asking so, I guess if you see this and your friends are asking too just spread it around. Reddit or wherever the fuck it needs to go”

    They certainly at least talk a good game. I'm interested to hear it after that description.

    Oh no. I've only gone as far as casually checking out their catalogue on Spotify. I only think they're okay from what I've listened to. I find the vocals a bit bland.... Although that means there is room for improvement, lol. There are a couple songs I particularly like.

    Check them out live if you ever get the chance. I think they're the best new band around. IMO.

    Their new album here is going to have to be a lot better than what they've already done (IMO) for me to feel inspired to pay money for tickets TBH. And hey, maybe it will be. :) So far they've only reached "that not a bad song to have turn up in my Discover Weekly playlist" status, haha.

    Yeah, I gave their stuff a pretty decent listen... Not really doing it for me that much yet - just okay so far, not worth my trip to a venue at this point. But I'll listen to their upcoming album though. Maybe they can change my mind. :)

    Im still worried about this album. Im assuming this will be their version of Vitalogy. 

    On a side note, I have been enjoying Gang Lion more recently

    I’m not worried about it. I was worried about the second album, but they still did a great job.

    Your assumption makes me wonder why you'd be worried. Wouldn't their version of Vitalogy be a good thing? When I have reason to think an upcoming album from someone will be more experimental, that's when I get more excited.

    A good thing if you are PJ junior. But possibly a bad thing if your lead singer seems heavily influenced by and loves rap and some odd alternative music. Johnny even had a DJ gig that was supposed to happen and apparently got cancelled? Lack of interest maybe? He is a unique character. The worry doesnt replace the excitement, just runs parallel. 

    I still think it will be a good album. Doubt they would just abandon their rock style completely.
