Gigaton: Official album thread

[evenslow]

So with the new album “Can’t Deny Me” is the only song Ed has put lyrics to at this stage of the recording process.

Surely not.....

I don't think this was part of the new album process, though. This was just Ed pissed off about Trump, etc. and wrote a song about it.

I just can’t see why Pearl jam and BOB would schedule time in a studio with new material if not to record.

I think Ed thought he caught something good with the song matching the moment (he was wrong) so they recorded and put it out right away. They have their own studio and wouldn't need BOB to record something like Can't Deny Me.

If they let it fade away and it doesn't go on the next album, no harm no foul.

Sure, but Brendan did produce Can't Deny Me.

oh ok forget what i said in fact don't listen to me ever i'm just wasting time here.

I keep seeing "Can't Deny Me" on setlists and every time it's like I've completely forgotten the song's existence. "Oh yeah, that's one of their songs now," I think, before dismissing it from memory some seconds later. I don't recall ever having been so utterly indifferent toward new Pearl Jam.

Is it possible to release a single & say its part of a forthcoming album, but then not include the song on the album...maybe.

What did they say when Ole came out? Anything about it being on an album?

Nope. Just a single.

While listening to the cover of SG's Missing, I thought it'd not surprise me if the band released a covers album one day. They have many rec'd already and could rather quickly knock off a few more. It's not something that I'd previously been interested in PJ doing but with the release of Can't Deny and the chances of another LBolt, I think I've changed my mind. Other People's Dogs maybe.

They'd have to be extremely good covers to commit them to an album, though. I'd say the majority of the covers they perform live are just fun rockers that are carbon copies of the original which are OK in a gig environment but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to them otherwise.

In terms of PJ covers that are worthy songs in their own right, I think Crazy Mary and Walking The Cow would be two of my favourites. Last Kiss as well, obviously. Can we count Crown of Thorns as a cover considering that practically half the band wrote/performed the original?!?

What great PJ covers am I missing here? And can we put together an album's worth?

2 of the best moments over the last 10 years have been Again Today and Better Things.

Those are two of the only moments of the last ten years!

[gardenparty]

Gimme Some Truth was a good one

Right. For example Harvest Moon is a great song and Ed did it justice, but it would be totally unnecessary to put it on an album.

Either fast or slow, their versions of I am a Patriot are different enough to the original to be included.

Waiting for my man and REM cover were really good
Bleed for me is great too

[bodysnatcher]

there's plenty of their covers on Kazaa they could use. Interstate Love Song, My Own Prison, Touch Peel and Stand.
