Re: 11th album rumors and speculation
Is Ed just creatively spent? I enjoyed his organ "Share the Light" from last year. I would love to hear more songs from that space.

Re: 11th album rumors and speculation
It felt that way about a year ago. Now i believe them when they say they have no idea.bodysnatcher wrote:i feel like the band might be playing coy about all of this. i'm sure they are fully aware that the moment they start talking about working on a new album, or saying they are done, shit starts going crazy. i mean, even our pessimistic asses have written 195 pages about this.
Seems to be in an awkward holding pattern.
Maybe they had a falling out in the studio or realized the new material needs to be better than Can't Deny Me.
Or likely just awaiting Ed to say "okay, lets get this done"

Re: 11th album rumors and speculation
yeah that was an interesting direction. would love to hear some new ed songs composed on the organ. something to break it up so it's not into the wild: port of call new orleans.Monkey_Driven wrote:Is Ed just creatively spent?

in actuality, they're probably all in full Dad Mode right now, except Jeff. which explains his output and desire to get shit done.

I don't know why anyone likes that organ thing. Is it just because it's on an organ? It's horrible

Re: 11th album rumors and speculation
i was thinking this exact same thing yesterday. Given To Fly popped up on a random playlist, and even though it's a BIG song, ed's delivery of the verses really stood out to me. it's like he's lost his way in creating that restrained drama that i really love in those middle records.tragabigzanda wrote:oh yeah i remember now. it's good, i just wish he wasn't wailing so much.

Re: 11th album rumors and speculation
The only reason the band even pretends anymore is to keep their staff in a job. Do you guys really think Tim Beirman has a fall back option? Pearl Jam need to save the Tim Beirman types from themselves.

They do employ a corporation of employees. It’s true. They stop now, lots of people are out of a job.verb_to_trust wrote:The only reason the band even pretends anymore is to keep their staff in a job.
