Next Tranquillity album

I would like another Gallery. I know they've already done it, but they can do more of it. It'd be original at least in context of time since the other melodic death bands (or maybe I'm just thinking of In Flames) have all evolved away from the neo-classical stuff. I am a huge fan of all of DT's albums, but I'd like to see them get more complicated again. Ditch the verse chorus verse chorus structure that they use a lot more these days. I'd also like more accoustic guitar work, more dual leads, and more lyrics by Niklas.

Oddly enough, if they don't go that way, I want them to simplify things again and do something similar to Haven. I think that album exists in a different space than their other cd's and it is really excellent. As my girlfriend put it, it is a little like a metal Depeche Mode.

Above all I just hope their next cd is good.

I agree, but I would like them to go more the Haven direction like you said below. Or even better, combine both approaches, the heaviness and complexity of The Gallery with the unique mood of Haven. It would be a tough challenge, but I hope the guys are ready for it after 2 not so great albums (just my opinion).
 
I think all this talk is ...meh. The boys will and should do whatever they feel like.
 
@mardy: Of course. The Opeth vs DT talk is retarded and ridiculous. This one is simply pointless. :p

edit: and thanks! i wasn't really gone (or was i?), but it's nice to see you again as well! :D

You never know, band members have been known to browse these forums, I know Opeth members do on theirs.
 
Id prefer these kind of band-related talks to discussing the facts and feelings of the forum members anytime. :) Its definitely not pointless. If that would be the truth, then this whole forum is pointless and we can all move to some chit-chat forum where we can all discuss the significant details of our lives. Btw. Siren, when are you going to post a pic in the forum members thread? :)
 
@mardy: in general i enjoy this kind of discussions too, but there's something about this specific topic that bothers me. i can't explain it very well, but it has to do with the contradiction between hearing fans say "they should do this, because that's what i want/this is what makes sense with their current evolvement" and with what the band has said in some interviews that they do what keeps them interested. i'm trying to say that this is one of the things i appreciate a lot about this band, that they do whatever they please. we can sure guess what their next step will be, but i don't like hearing 'orders' about what they should do. hope it's a bit clearer now.
and the answer is never. :p

Set up a poll of all of DT's albums and have the question asking "What should the new DT album sound most like?"

Here's an example to go by: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=214777
As far as i know, DT's board has lately distinguished itself from all other message boards in existence by not having a single active poll.

But DT have been known to make music for themselves and not for their fans (though i'm starting to have my doubts sice Character).
