On second thought... Not many people getting excited about it can mean that I get to treat it like all my other favorite PJ stuff - keep it all to myself... Yeeees, yeees, my precious...

I'm a schmuck that pretty much loves every album when I get it. It's 6 months after that counts. I still don't hate any pearl jam album and I don't anticipating hating this one.
The reviews are non committal but at least they lean towards the positive. I get the sense it's a plodder , which will be a win in my book.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

I'm hoping that someone says we won't like tracks 1 or 2, but we'll see dragons after 3 or 4.

Weakest songwriter in the band. There I said it. He has some absolute gems that cemented me as a PJ fan, but he has some really shit songs too.

He wrote Faithfull which is like a top 3 Pearl Jam song for me.
