Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Pearl Jam being experimental sounds like such an oxymoron to me. They're just so far from it. I don't even mean it as criticism.EJ wrote:Nah, they just need Boom hammering away on an ondes Martenot or glockenspiel.harmless wrote:I feel they need some electronica / euphoric trance / trouse influences in this album to truly be able to call it experimental.
For some reason i can picture them successfully write a couple of tunes with some sort of a tribal rhythm but i wouldn't call even that experimental.

Agreed. If they ever were going to try, it would've happened 10+ years ago.Mine wrote:Pearl Jam being experimental sounds like such an oxymoron to me. They're just so far from it.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Have any of these listening parties resulted in someone's review of "eh"?
Or will the fanboys just tow the company line and say it was great?

Honestly I'm not even sure. I was thinking if something like The End ended up on their "happy go lucky" album they're all but settled into sounding like Pearl Jam whatever the hell that means.EJ wrote:Agreed.

The best thing about this listening party in Berlin is that I can read the reviews and then compare them tomorrow at the listening party in Amsterdam.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
We've not had any listening parties yet, this is the first one. But yeah, I hope someone's honest. I honestly want to know this isn't a pop album. Or that it's less of one.EJ wrote:Have any of these listening parties resulted in someone's review of "eh"?
