i read it like this
forthcoming - in progress
upcoming - in the can

Fuck it, I'm excited. I can feel 25 years of pearl jam muscle memory taking over, overruling my better judgment.

Maybe this will be their "No Line on the Horizon." Horrendous first single, mostly excellent album tracks.

If this song a were toss-off a la Ole, fine..Lead-off single for a new album? Might be the worst first single they've ever put out.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

This is better than The Fixer for sure. I can’t even listen to that one.

Solid garage rock fare. I feel like I need to listen to a higher quality sound recording. I'm missing Jeff in the mix, anyone else? I'm a fan of Getaway and Ole, and I think it's largely because of Jeff's stamp in it. In my first few listens, I had trouble grabbing onto anything, but now I've got it and I mostly dig it.

Main problem - the bridge. What is that? This band has been one of the great bridge writing bands I've heard, from literally Day one with Alive. This one seems to have a placeholder that was never filled in. Feels like a solid demo. As far is what it indicates for an album - no idea. Their singles are typically pretty random in terms of how they represent the album. This one doesn't break any new ground, it's just a nice, spontaneous sounding toss off, irreverent garage rock stomp right up Ed's alley. For an album, I certainly want more collaboration between the band members, whatever it is.

The definition of “upcoming” is literally “forthcoming”.

Let's hope not...Ambien on a disc, that one.
