i hope the cover art be like really amazing drawings

Yeahh! Me too

Craig should do the album cover again...or would Ryan have a turn?

It could be cool if they all contributed to a drawing design-y thing

i have always like that weird bird craig made. i think its on a few singles from HE.

yeahh hopefully somthing like the first 2. melodias cover i didnt like that much .

This one?

Isn't it a pterodactyl? Either way, I love it, it's so cute.

Melodia's cover artwork sucked. Highly Evolved FTW

yeah. thats the one. i love that. i wish i could get a poster of it.

then get a tattoo of it

I dunno i kinda liked it ( i prefer the design-y ones but i still thought it looked pretty cool )



cool and yeah i always thought it looked pretty awesome

haha thats funny you say that because i actually kinda want too. i was thinking on my wrist.

I was thinking of getting Craig's head from the Winning Days album tattooed on my wrist, but I want to wait for a while though.

that would be cool and i'm going to wait also. it would be cool to get it in white ink

I hope they surprise us in a good way

white wouldn't suit my skin, but I'll wait until The Vines are at legendary status

in my books, they already have reached that status.

i thought this thread was about the album not tattoos..... cmon now.

though i do agree... legends in my mind for sure

yeah but what if they made dreadful future albums id be soo pissed with a tattoo, anyway how many tracks you think the new album will have

maybe between the 12-15 mark

a run time around 40-45 mins would be great.

I think the order of the tracks can influence how you feel about the album overall,
so I hope it will be cohesive/moving/exciting.

im gunna say 11-12 with longer tracks, i dont think more is better

just a quick update guys , pre-production has begun on this record yay !

Yay, great!

Awesome!

But what does "pre-production" exactly mean, does anyone know? Is it like they're doing demos and decide what they want to be on the record, what sounds good or has to be worked on or something like that?

great to hear jess, wish them themm luck for us.

thats great jess, not entierly shore what it means but atleast there workingg

well it means before recording the album the band spend time creating and refining their music ideas and producing a demo recording or rough-draft of a song in order to establish ahead of time if the ideas are promising. it pretty much just saves time and moneyy

i hope they do one of the six minute long songs like 1969, space ship, and true as the night. they are so epic. i wonder why winning days doesn't have one???

doesnt matter, the songs on winning days were all epic songs lol

clappity clappity

edit: this news should go onto the website, facebook, myspace and twitter, to let everybody know

I think it's cool The Vines have released an album every "even" year since 2002. I'm excited to hear the new one, I bet it's going to be amazing.

and anyway, i thought jess said the album was in pre-production in october, its been going for a while anyway hopefuly all this time of thinking and re-fining the songs will make an amazing album.

prolly going to cum in my pants whe i hear it

yeh me too.... i just wanna see them in the states!!! fuckk my lifeee i cant travel to australia! i just wish we had at least a tiny idea of the music that was gunna be on it.. like track numbers... song names, demo... or something

pre-production is over and official recording has begun

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO THE SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES!!!

fuck yeah, thats awsome news jess, any chance of revealing the producer and where bouts are they recording this one?

Exciting!

hopefuly rob dont produce this onee

Why not? He produced Highly Evolved, Winning Days, and Melodia. I think he's great. I definitely wouldn't mind if he produced the fifth one, as well.

maybe, where he went with melodia didnt suit me though and i want to see what other producers can do with the vines

this may sound bad in a way but i think their last few album aren't a creative and crazy because craig stopped smoking weed or maybe because patrick left...who knows

i dont think its crazy, i think him not smoking weed has affected their songs i dont think patrick had much to with anything but their songs could still be as good they just a bit more thought and work

That's so great!

Think of the day you will hold the new record in your hands, that's crazy I wish the boys all the best and that they can realize all their visions!

I just cant wait <3

that is very gooooooood to hear !!! whose the producer? i think it's somewhere in a different thread but i dont wanna go find it haha ?????
