Thanks for the link. Very interesting how Raine said they pretty much made the entire 8th album, then scrapped it and started anew because it sounded too much like stuff they'd done before and that it "wasn't good enough". That gives me a lot of hope for the next record indeed.

So it's practically confirmed for 2013 then!

[DG]

Another summer release would be prime.

[GreatLakes24]

Raine said he hopes for both albums to be released within the next 6-7 months and already has the solo album set to drop Nov. 29th. Does that mean new OLP will come before that?

*Crosses Fingers*

[DG]

At this rate, I'd assume OLP will debut before the Solo, but you can never be sure with these guys.

I'm intrigued, Raine said they are going in a completely new direction, Metal? Rap? Prog? Industrial? interestingggggg lol, now it is going to bug me

[DG]

Raine has dabbled into spoken word rap a little bit on his solo record... OMG OLP RAPS!!!!1

[SummitUp]

I imagine the rapping would be easier on his voice. If that's the case....
How cool would it be if Raine solo acoustic opened for OLP during their tour?

[faninor]

A whole new direction? Maybe this album will be 4 guys outdoors!

[xjsb125]

"Why does this album smell like smog?"

[ClumsyGirl618]

A whole new direction? Maybe this album will be 4 guys outdoors!

Over analyzing everything instead of trusting their instincts....

I have a feeling we're still going to hear about that for a long time but maybe we won't hear the "too many two's" quote anymore.

I thought Raine said "yes" to Bob Rock.

I thought Raine said "yes" to Bob Rock.

That's what I was thinking. I wonder which executive he's talking about in this video? Obviously not Bob Rock because he said "6 or 7 years ago", which would be 2004 or so.

I don't know what to think about this speech... I honestly have to say that OLP songs like Somewhere Out There, All You Did Was Save My Life, Never Get Over You, The End Is Where We Begin.... they all seem to be the antithesis of what he's talking about here, especially when he says he didn't want to be "giving into the status quo" or "following trends". OLP has done many one dimensional, ballady generic songs in the past 10 years.

[Codes]

Afraid to say but they did sell out with Gravity, they became generic at that moment sadly.

"serious day in the studio for OLP. breaking new ground here! mind bending music...very rewarding"

I just came.

[Flynner]

Ha ha, damn you, you beat me to it. This does sound awesome!

[Flynner]

This was from yesterday that also sounds promising.

OLP writing continues to take interesting turns. "challenging" & "meaningful"best describes it. no room for mediocre rock songs here!

[MindsOnLoan]

Nice. Really starting to get pumped for Album 8. Hoping for a summer release!

[Flynner]

That would be sick, and that would mean the reboot of dot net would start soon, with some info and teasers.
