[wease]

Will they cover a Soundgarden tune on the tour?

[wease]

Preordered the CD.

Got Some is the most new wave song they've done to date

yep devo if stewart copeland was their drummer.

It’s quite literally a Devo song

I’m a bit more excited about this than I thought I would be. The album art is ok and not a cartoon, and obviously a producer change will be interesting. Although with a 7 year gap, there’s no way this will be a low key experimental album. It will be a “Pearl jam is back!!! “ Processed vocals and shit sounding drums type album

I dunno. They won their achievement awards. I think they're self-aware enough to finally reach for quality art this time around.

[Strat]

They did say, sometime around backspacer, something to the effect of “were just gonna enjoy ourselves for awhile”

Perhaps they are ready to get back to business !

Holy shit strat. What?

you're clearly not reading the tea leaves as correctly as mr. tea leaves aka me.

i realize how dumb this is but the tea leaves are:

- that vaguely orchestral teaser music.
- the title "dance of the clairvoyants" is so so NOT PJ.
- mike's quote about how it was kinda difficult and experimental.
- NO BOB
- the reddit description of the song - "It's a lower tempo song. A very present synth throughout. Dark vibe with a constant drum beat which sounds almost 80's new wave style in it's production."

guys, i'm doing everything i can to will the awesomeness of this thing into existence. sure, you can set yourself up for massive letdown. OR you can be on the right side of history BEFORE it happens.

You make the call.

We all are just waiting for the single. Nothing will top the WTF reaction to The Fixer.

[dad]

I’m definitely easy to get back to business.

Is strat on meth?

we'll see. i hope DOTC is truly confounding to most PJ fans. if we get a real WTF reaction to it, i'll be in my glory.

The 28 page booklet could be a reference/tribute to Vitalogy(recall on Riot Act how Eddie recycled old lyrics "There ain't gonna be any middle anymore" "Don't go on me now"). Possible themes this time? Self-delusion, pseudoscience?

In don’t know why I ever post from my phone.

pearl jam sucks now

I dunno, that wtf moment when hearing Who You Are for the first time was pretty awesome, but in a completely different way. Kind of like, “woah, wtf?”... The Fixer was like, “eww, wtf?”
