Usually/always worth the wait?

I still remember that DTRW was the first album to went out in the MK album I like the lesser poll, and by the comments, people didn't like it.

Was worth the wait for that one?

It was for me. But looks that it wasn't for many.

It's all relative, it's maybe not as good as other albums, but still better than 99% of music out there.

Also, nostalgia plays a part in the polls.

But... was it worth the wait?

But... was it worth the wait?

I think yes, it was well worth the wait. I absolutely can understand why one can't be satisfied with the album. After all, I was THE guy who wrote a big ass forum post about Guy Fletcher's production. I was baffled by the music and hated the too simplistic and banal cover picture. But over time, I'm not a massive fan yet, but I love the album nevertheless.

Most of the songs are strong, with a couple of crazy tracks here and there like "Heavy Up", the cover is still too bland and uninspiring, but Mark never was the guy to impress you with cool album art, many of his albums could do better in this department. But the name itself I liked. See you down the road wherever, a great idea and album name here, no question about it.

Too often I stumble across a new album from somebody old, listen to it once and forget about it. Mark still produces albums that have great songs, ultimate sonic quality (not that I was asking for, but ok), and consistent quality overall. When it comes to MK, the term "new album" is always exciting thanks to that.

For example, the period betwen the end of Tracker tour, 2015, and the release of DTRW, late 2018, was spent by MK writing the Local Hero musical and the recording of DTRW, for me, it was totally worth that wait, as I loved both, but many many people here didn't liked the musical or didn't (and don't) care at all about it, and didn't liked DTRW. Was that worth the wait for them?

According Guy, the next MK record is going to have an even more varied styles than DTRW, and they have to record and release the musical cd as well, would it be worth the wait, really, for all of us?

It would for me.

Did it worth the wait for John's book?

Despite all the mistaked, it did, at least for me.

I absolutely agree with you!

Anything by MK is well worth the wait! Even though of late I'm not a great fan of a few tunes on DTRW, it was still worth the wait......

I love DTRW
If you remember, I had the chance to listen to it one month before its release, and I gave my impressions here.
It was definitively worth the wait for me

Fact. There is little about the last DS period.

Fact. There is little about the last DS period.

All biographies are quite the same, a lot of information of oldest times and when it's reaching the last years, it's all told in a hurry, like if the "writer" was tired and wanted to finish as soon as possible.

[Robson]

Exactly. And they should remember those times best. Strange.
