10th album rumors and speculation

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Was about to ask how long it was before someone complained this gets in the way of new PJ but theyre doing that on the pit already.

It's kind of true though . . .

I think the blame should go to RNDM instead

There is a Stay tuned thing in the Website... tour? some album news?

[evenslow]

It's going to be an announcement for a Wrigley Field show, probably as part of a larger summer tour. They better be touring behind a new record, preferably titled Pangaea.

[dimejinky99]

[warehouse]

I can't wait until 85% of 10 Clubbers get denied for a show at a venue that holds 45,000.

[bodysnatcher]

I can't wait for another show without a new album that's just like all their other shows since 2009.

How long can they keep uttering the word 'tour' and putting pictures up of random concert stages before the entire fanbase abandons them.

[Norah]

You'll put up with this shit forever if you still love the musical output.

True stories, bros.

Soundgarden recently released King Animal, their first album in a decade, and apparently some of the material, according to guitarist Kim Thayil, was meant for Pearl Jam.

"Matt [Cameron, drummer] had some songs which he had demoed that he wanted us to learn," Thayil told The Phoenix.

"He thought these songs were Soundgarden-like and that they might have been more appropriate for us than Pearl Jam and he wanted to hear us play them."

I would love to see Matt take a demo to Soundgarden – and also take the same demo to Pearl Jam – just to see the different end products by each band

Mccready even plays on Eyelid's mouth. By Crooked Steps would have been interesting. If only Pearl Jam didn't take so long they would have had some good music to work with.

Man I think Backspacer would be looked upon a tiny bit more favorably if the time spent promoting and touring on said record was equvilanet to the time they spent writing/arranging/recording the songs. If it were just ablip on the radar. Like a quirky release Neil did int he 80's or something. Looked upon as a little period in the bands lengthy and deep catalogue. Unfortunately - this is the record that has been on our plate for 4 years. It hasn't aged well for me. I do find some enjoyment in listening to it but knowing they are so much more capable of something greater and more unique.....bothers me...and makes me like Backspacer less.

Agreed. I think going "full Neil Young" would benefit Pearl Jam quite a bit. Release albums one after the other, depending on the muse. Backspacer would be remembered for what is really is, a fun diversion, rather than a lasting document of Pearl Jam circa 2009-2013.

I'm definitely down with this too.
