anyone else heard some news? the vibe i was getting a few months ago was that it'll be more softer/psychedelic. i'm judging it'll be entirely finished now.....but with label bullshit (ie future primitive being complete for over a YEAR before release) i don't think it'll be out till next year....BAH!

EDIT with some links...

"Frontman Craig Nicholls was recently talking about a curious album of ‘home demos’ that would end up as a fast follow-up to Future Primitive. He originally had 139 songs on his digital 8-track, but has managed to whittle it down to 15 tracks for a new album."

Craig-"We’ve already started making our next album and I’m doing vocals on Tuesday, so we’ve recorded all the instruments … then we may record some more so we don’t know … it will either come out late this year or early next year."

i have no idea! honestly, most of their songs have been softer, though. I honestly think that they have the right idea for a band. play whatever sounds right to the lyrics. whenever most people think of the vines they think of get free, outtathaway, he's a rocker, etc... when i think of them i think of autumn shade, 1969, orange amber, etc. so i think if it's going to be softer, it'll be up their alley.

I've always liked the 'softer' songs more. I prefer songs like Vision Valley, Take Me Back, Homesick and True As The Night instead of their best known stuff like Get Free and He's A Rocker. Every album they released to date has some amazing songs, as well as some mediocre ones.

So, I'm looking forward to whatever they bring us. I'm hoping for some longer tracks though, 'cause many of The Vines' songs finish way too early.

yes, especially their better songs. i'll just get into a mood and then it'll end.

or maybe we just love them so much that we just -think- the songs are too short.

If anything like Highly Evolved or Winning Days then i can't wait Looking forward to it

There's talk of a new album already?

I'm not complaining AT ALL, but it seems really soon.

If they have a new album coming out, BRING IT ON!

My fave albums by The Vines are definitely the first two. Vision Valley was a great, too. My least fave is Melodia. Future Primitve was definitely a comeback type album. Cry was my favourite song from that album. I had broken up with someone at the time and the song spoke to me very much. Thanks again, Craig! You always seem to write songs that reflect something that's happening in my life!

Keep them coming!!!

I hope there will be fast and slow songs!
I like songs like autumn shade, winning days or spaceship but I prefer songs like Ride, Get free, Future Primitive,Scream or Don't listen to the radio. It would be very boring without faster songs.

I'm quite sure it's gonna be an amazing album, they're extremely talented so.. whatever they do, it'll be a perfect sound
