what in fuck's holy name would lead you to believe this album will be anything other than a mix of slow, midtempo, and fast songs alternately celebrating how awesome it is to be married to a supermodel and bitching about war/religion/whitepeople?

shit. I'm married to a model and i constantly bitch about war, inequality and religion. Thankfully i got a day job so the world is safe from my terrible songwriting and nasal vocals

not that there's anything wrong with that.

As someone who has a desk job, these reveals are making the week go by quicker.

Getaway = RVM [part deux]

Getaway = MFC Part VII

Thuh waiting drives me mad

[bodysnatcher]

guys, this entire album is about surfing, like it or not.

Mind Your Manners = Don't be a dick on the waves
Future Days = Will people be able to surf the oceans in the future, or will they be too polluted, or too violent bc of climate change
Sirens = people on the rocks telling you to be careful as you surf at dusk
Yellow Moon = controls the tides / waves.
Swallowed Whole = wipeout on a huge wave, brah
Getaway = leaving the stress of the real world to go to Hawaii and surf

If Ed doesn't yell "WIPE OUT!" during Sirens, I'm gonna be really pissed off.

Second track soon, right?

[hlniv]

"Logical extension of Backspacer."

What if this album is the yin to BS's yang? The dark side to its light side?

We have tracks which are self-referential ("Swallowed Whole") and stylistically, it seems to me that tracks of a similar style are in the same place on the album.

If "Unthought Known" was track 7, LB being there would continue to make perfect sense.

that would mean we got our conceptual double album everyone was (s)creaming for. And that would piss a lot of people off.

You guys are really reaching. Double concept album w/Backspacer ?!? Hahahaha

We have no idea what the track order will be...

And the art spelling out Pearl Jam backwards ?!? Hahaha

To begin with, I didn't say anything about the art spelling Pearl Jam backwards. But if that's going to happen, it'll be because the tracklist is being revealed in reverse order. So of course, if it's Pearl Jam at all, it'll be Pearl Jam backwards. Based on that, you have no idea whether my theory is right or not so don't patronise me.

Sorry - didn't mean to offend or patronize.... Wasn't just directed to you. Was directed to the groupthink as a whole.

I just think the art reveal in general is a nice touch and the art specifically is pretty impressive so far. To try to make it any more than that just makes what it actually is potentially less interesting.

Although, maybe your theory is right on. It's a real possibility.

I just want an album that's longer than the 38 minutes or whatever backspacer was. We're not even completely sure it's 12 tracks, are we? Just going off the iTunes listing, right?

No, I think it's been confirmed by the 10C as 12 tracks. Also BO'B has said there are longer, more drawn-out songs on it than Backspacer. It won't be that short.
