it feels like a real potential gift that PJ might be finally taking ideas from middle albums again, and I'm so much happier about Ed going "Into The Wild" than "Backspacer"

Damn it, beaten to it again! :thumbsup:
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

https://music.avclub.com/pearl-jam-does ... ssion=true
Alternating between classic guitar riffage, sputtering ’80s-style new wave, epic layers of vocal collage, and awkward fusions of the three, the record tries to be all things to all people, a crowd-pleasing delivery of rock ’n’ roll interwoven with art-damaged aspirations of something more, akin at times to the group’s landmark Vitalogy. It sometimes fails, but longtime Pearl Jam fans know better than to expect a steady consistency of quality across an entire album.

Is it usual for records to be reviewed almost 3 weeks before they come out? The reviews for Lightning Bolt mostly came out when the record was released.
