How are these people actually alive?

Its really pathetic to complain about this. If they don't like it, why not just check at the end of the week for the titles? This has been one of the most entertaining things this club has done.
Completely agree, I've found this whole thing rather enjoyable as it's absolutely killed my productivity at work.

If they were unveiling images of posters for the upcoming tour that these people could then preorder for $50 a pop, these same people would think it was the greatest thing ever.

Is there a way to read what people were saying on twitter, if you don't have a twitter account? I went to PJ's twitter page but it doesn't show comments from anyone.
If you click on "expand" at the bottom of the tweet, it should show you the replies.

EDIT: Or just run a search for tweets containing "@PearlJam."
It only showed me a couple comments, but I'm good as long as it offended some people I'm happy! Thanks for the info.

With all of the religious references, I bet this is both a nod to the fact that Jesus drank wine and a cautionary tale as to what happens when you hit the bottle too hard.

You're probably right. This is probably the Lightning Bolt reveal. That's gonna ruin a lot of people's afternoons, getting a song we already know.

I agree, the track reveal thing they're doing is kinda cool. But part of me still pines for the good ol' days when you had virtually no idea what songs would be on the new album, other than maybe 1 or 2 (i.e., 90s era album releases).

The shape is not exact but close enough to champaigne.
Ha, what if the elements to show up next are eggs and bacon - champaigne breakfasts for everyone?
The champagne (or whatever), will be spilled/spilling. Perhaps spilling blood (because there will eventually be some red in this image). That means this will be Track #11 on the album, slotting in for "Where's the Sponge?" on that last fake tracklist.

If the track list is in reverse order, this may well be Lightning Bolt. Doesn't bother me really. The second song might be one we don't know.

Easy solution to that: turn off the Internet. Instant 1994.
