yes like stlt,ms,3

So in other words he is implying that it is more folk-based rock and less alternative?

<<yes like stlt,ms,3>>

That's acctually kinda dissapointing to me. While I love all three of those albums, I like TMC and SHU far better and had hopes of this one being the same. I'm gonna do my best to hold judgement until I hear it though.

yeah i though "old nine days" was The Madding Crowd, which i'll regard as their best album

but oh well

I'd much rather see Nine Days contuing to move in the same direction as with So Happily Unsatisfied. Bands should never go backwards (except Radiohead, who should go backwards but bloody won't) -- can you imagine if the Goo Goo Dolls started doing bad punk like they did prior to "Hold Me Up"? It wouldn't work.

Yea but their old stuff was bad. Ninedays' old stuff is the GREATEST. Monday Songs is probably my favorite album. My point is there's nothing wrong with going backwards if what's behind you is great. They should write the kind of music they want to write, not what labels tell them to write, and not even what the fans want them to write, cause in the end what is it worth if everybody loves the music except for you. They should write it for thekmselves and no-one else.

Rock On

yeah but see i'd respect a band much more for going in a different direction and evolving. while So Happily Unsatisfied wasn't my favourite thing by them, i'd take that over another Madding Crowd.

the old stuff is superior to TMC and SHU..at least to me.

Its not radio friendly...but its great song writing at its best

I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm not hugely fond of the first 3 CD's -- at least not as much as I am of The Madding Crowd and particulalry So Happily Unsatisfied -- but maybe that's because they hadn't honed their songwriting skills as much as they have now.
Whichever way it falls, we know this is going to be the best Nine Days album yet.

i think what he ment was it's not a pop cd it's more of a rock sound , b/c i asked if it's a pop sound and he said no more like the old stuff !!

<<They should write the kind of music they want to write.>>

....I agree totally. and regaurdless of which album you like best, I don't think that Nick saying the new record sounds like the old Nine Days necessarily means what many of you think it does. I highly doubt that it sounds like first 3 records as much as they sound like eachother.....it probably has just a few similar aspects within a unique sound. Remeber all that stuff John was saying about more acoustic guitars, and banjos and whatnot? doesn't sound too much like the old nine days to me.....
