so we pretty much know nothing

cool

So excited about this.

Sweet!!!

It will be a cover of The Money Store.

didn't they just write 30-40ish songs last year?

for their own sake I hope it's not bland or bumpy when the writing sessions start.

Hopefully it will be less than 90 songs this time so I can actually listen to it

FUCKING YES

^that was literally what I was wanting to say soo...FUCKING HELL YES!!!!

That post also says they performed The Color Spectrum live in its entirety, and the filmed show will be released later this year. To me, that's just as exciting if not moreso.

He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I actually mentioned this site when I talked to him. Apparently he likes Sputnik.

casey should write a musical

The acts should be moved to broadway, it's way more deserving than American Idiot

"I hope this is better than The Color Spectrum. It was a great album that had some amazing songs, but it was nowhere near Act II"

Thank you!

these guys are fucking machines

boring news boring band[2]

overrated band. that being said, Ill still listen to this.

awesome

i didnt know there were this many haters of the dear hunter around...
Shame it's not a concept album, but maybe now he can get the most out of it, musicalwise without the restrictions of a concept

This will be awesome

will be good. but agreed that this basically doesn't tell us anything other than that they're going to record more music.

"That post also says they performed The Color Spectrum live in its entirety, and the filmed show will be released later this year. To me, that's just as exciting if not moreso."


I forgot to mention that. There really isn't much info on it yet though, just that it exists and will be released in the near future. I'll definitely be getting that for sure, and hopefully finally ordering some TDH merch with it.

If Casey is taking this much time away from it, I'm sure Act IV will be nothing short of astounding, but I'm okay with this too, so long as it's TDH quality of course.

What did you think about Act I?

Needs moar Act IV, but will rule
Act I was a 3.75-4 for me, cool album

I had a similar early reaction to The Color Spectrum vs. the Acts... but with patience and by not pretending like it is a
2.5-hour record, I've learned that every song on the spectrum is, at varying levels, incredible.

It's a shame many don't try to approach the color spectrum piece by piece as 9 Eps rather than an insurmountably
long album... and instead say it's too long, boring and hit-or-miss. I felt the same way until i dissected it one or two Eps
during a listening session.

Now I have to listen to the whole thing all the way through every time because the whole fucking thing is masterful. I
dare say I even like it better than the Acts, except maybe Act II. Absolutely beautiful music. This new record will be no
different.

fuck yes.

Color Spectrum is arguably the best album of '11.

"Color Spectrum is arguably the best album of '11."

There's no argument there. It is the best album of 2011. At least in my opinion.

Are they going to do more colors or what?

Act II, then Act III, then Act I. I haven't had the chance to listen to the Color Spectrum let alone the FULL Color Spectrum. Disappointed that they aren't working on Act IV however maybe that means it will be the best of all works done so far. One can only hope. I'm curious what he will do though not having a concept album.

"Are they going to do more colors or what?"

Just read...no concept

its a little nerving to see how they'll follow up the color spectrum, consirdering it didnt have a specific sound to it

YES

Want.

SOMEONE'S GOT

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS

So keen! This band is not overrated at all, they are a group of REAL, talented musicians who have blessed us with their music. Color Spectrum as a whole, is better than any of their ACT albums in my opinion, although ACT II is really close behind. The Color Spectrum really demonstrated how talented, and diverse these guys are. I'm really excited to see which direction they take with the new album, knowing that they're capable of writing music in a variety of different styles and genres as demonstrated by the Spectrum. Casey's voice is hawt.

If you don't like The Dear Hunter you might have a retarded.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

lol

I read somewhere (fansite or something) about a year ago that Casey said he wanted to do an album that was like 10-12 songs, no concept, just whatever he's feeling. I imagine that's what this is going to be and I think it will be good.

the color spectrum was awesome to listen to as 9 EP's as it was intended to, not as one whole album. Im excited to hear how this turns out, I doubt it will be a let down.

Don't care about the lack of info. I care that this will be awesome.

boring news boring band

"If you don't like The Dear Hunter you might have a retarded."

Ya blew it.

Awesome news. Love this band.

"If you don't like The Dear Hunter you might have a retarded."
Fuck, I messed that up big time.
I was going to say a mental disability but didn't adjust accordingly when I decided to change what I was saying. I FUCKING SUCK

do want.

Haters gonna hate no matter what. The Color Spectrum was an accomplishment, it gave the band a wide
range to experiment, and there are many songs were on par with anything they have written in the acts.
The best part about them being that they are less Rock-Opera. Act III was great but almost went too
far IMHO.

this band is epic. Wish it was act IV but a new album is welcomed nonetheless.

agreed^

a dear hunter album that isnt concept? vat
