I've got album fatigue for this release already. This 3 month lead up and image snippets of the tracks deal is boring.

I think the band's approach to this has been great, it's the fans I find fatiguing.

I do like seeing bands doing something different to launch albums. The old format has passed it's used by date for sure. Pearl Jam would know what their particular fanbase would like so they've probably nailed it. It mainly reminds me of some primary school educational game using picture cards. Just give me the music, interviews, feature stores and information.

You can still avoid taking part in the puzzle game and only read interviews, stories and listen to what's been put out there in the form of singles and demos :roll:

Thanks for your permission. Is it still okay if I express an opinion when I find something a bit naff? :roll:

Sure. So just curious, how many times have you posted "Thanks 10 Club for all that you do!" online since joining the Jamily?

PS - welcome to RM!

I never thank them. I take what they have and when I want more I kick and yell.
You like me better now?

Hmmm, that just seems a tad greedy. You only need to show a bit of patience and there'll be some shiny new merch within a couple of weeks y'know. Huzzah, thirst for PJ product quenched!

^^THIS GUY GETS IT^^

I think it's exciting and refreshing for the band to role out the album in this MANNER. Little by little making people want more. We were all complaining that the band wasn't doing enough to give us news on the album. So they release awesome art work for each individual song and hold listing parties all converging on a town-hall meeting of sorts (which if I'm not mistaken they have NEVER done) I think it's amazing and my anticipation is through the roof due mostly to the "boring" promotional push they are doing. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
