Marker In The Sand (2017 Mix) just came on a playlist there... it is amazing how Ed's lyrics have gone down the toilet. There is no nuance anymore, and it's not because it's not the time for it. It's because he doesn't engage with discourse. It's like the music, it vacuum packed with as much studio magic to make his singing sound angry and passionate but it's a distraction. It's an audio girdle

Avocado is sounding good though. I've always had a soft spot for the album besides the production issues, but I like to see it more as the resolution to Binaural/Riot Act these days, rather than the evolution to where they are now.

This is from the PJ site.
The track was recorded in Seattle last month and released as a surprise early download to Ten Club members last Saturday.
I'm not in the 10C anymore so don't know what the email said but this makes it seem like it was never an Xmas single.
Yeah, if I end up getting an album track pressed onto my 45, I will be quite disappointed in my 2017 single.

Last Kiss was released widely after being a fan club single, but at least fans got a double single the following year as an apology.

Now that they've announced this is a single from their forthcoming, it's very akin to the formula of WWE, Fixer, and MYM. The punchy 3 minute punk/pop tune with a hook.

We probably shouldn't expect anything different from this album.

Interesting. I'd say:

CDM=WWS>Fixer=MYM.

I like all these songs.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

I would say don’t get too excited about it being a real album promo. They announced neither the title nor release date of the album which makes me think they are not done with it yet.

Note NO JA with the power pose in the photo. Did he have to crack skulls to get some recording going?

Eddie's voice is rough and ragged in a pleasing way, the guitars are choppy and dirty enough, Matt's drums sound nice and deep, the song has an enjoyably herky-jerky propulsion behind it, and some of the little touches hint ever-so-slightly at some possible loose experimentation/weirdness (cash register sounds in the opening, for example). Nothing particularly inspiring, but solid. Definitely more interesting than 99% of what they've done in the last decade+.
Agreed. Like, if this was their worst song since Riot Act, no one would have jumped ship. Alas, it's pretty much their best one instead.

Nobody even knew this song existed until two days ago. For all we know the album is done.

Maybe Pearl Jam will drop it Lemonade style with no promo? I doubt it though.

Except they've just promo'd it and announced it.

So, I’ve tempered my initial distaste for this song. Still hate the lyrics. But, the rest of the song is working for me now. Wish there was more of Jeff in it. He really comes on strong right at the end and then it’s over.

I hate the written-in sing along breakdown.
