Do you not see the glaring difference between that artwork for the single and these new ones?

Yes but it has PEARL JAM written on it, so if there isn't a new / different image, they'll just add it to the tracklist.

pretty sure Sleeping By Myself is not the uke song but actually Betterman (live) - the song does start with a woman sleeping by herself after all.

No I think it was Betterman (live) before they changed the title at the last minute.

Yeah, the gun and plate thing is total weak sauce. Easily the worst. Even Mr. Blue Balls on Sleeping By Myself is better. Hopefully we get a new one.

The sleeping by myself one is ridiculously plain compared to the other ones, the animation is funny but its still out of place.

You think the clip art trash we got for the MYM single was good? The track reveal art has been worlds better....

It's been the same style the entire way :?

I think the gun / blood / rosary on a posh dinner plate was perfectly fitting with MYM as a song, and visually isn't inconsistent with the rest of the images at all.

Agreed. And, I think the only thing they'd do is drop the words Pearl Jam if they include it in this track reveal. They're already selling t-shirts with the plate artwork for MYM.

Also, don't start your questions with 'You think that clip art trash...?" I'm not going to agree to liking trash, but I might like the artwork more than you.

Yup, I plan to buy one if the album doesn't suck. Even if they do use the same image, hopefully it isn't slowly revealed the same way they did before :lol:

Would you listen to a crappy phone recording of the listening party? I would and I wouldn't let it color my impression of the album, but I could see how some would be turned off by it.

I would listen the shit out of a crappy phone recording of the listening party. I definitely wouldn't let it color my impression of the album but I just want to hear what the songs are like already. Been waiting for 4 goddamn years.

Unfortunately, there's only 10 people allowed in the listening party. I'm sure they will have a security check and no phones will even be allowed inside. They might even go as far as to have all the people sign NDA's.

That would suck. I'm hoping for at least some impressions. I also hope they throw the rest of us a bone and give us some clips of the songs. They did say it was a 2 week reveal, so I'm expecting something next week.

I'd listen. I'd listen HARD.

I'm only expecting vague descriptions though.

The good thing about listening to shitty quality leaks is that it won't do anything for my expectations if I can't hear the lyrics. It's the lyrics / vocals I'm most worried about. Supersonic would've been totally great if the lyrical shit was hot fire. Same with The Fixer.

Regardless of what they do with the images for MYM and LB (FWIW, I expect them to remain the same with the words Pearl Jam removed so they fit in with the other images).... This is called a Track Reveal, not an Artwork Reveal.

If it was an artwork reveal, then we probably wouldn't get another image for MYM and LB, since these images have already been revealed. But they're revealing all the tracks that are on the album so by skipping over these 2 all the non-fanbois out there would have no clue that these 2 songs exists and would just assume that the album has 10 tracks which would just be pretty dumb...

So YES, we will be getting a reveal for MYM and LB... Next discussion. Please.
