You’ll be dismayed or unsurprised to hear the rest of it is bog standard stodgy bland Pearl Jam fare.
Can you write a line about each song? Perhaps compare it to another Pearl Jam song?

So you listened to the album or this is what you gather?
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Have you been lucky enough to hear it Dime?

Is it the continuation of LB we had been warned of?

Sounds like something Paul Hollywood would say about a crappy bake.

It doesn’t deserve that much thought. It sounds like what it is.
A bunch of left overs from previous efforts. Made more noticeable by the one possibly two tracks that were written and collaborated on recently. They shine a harsh cold light on the rest.

Depressing. Some are gonna love it. Our actual regular posters here I can’t see being happy for long with it at all.
Hopefully the tourists will fuck back off where they came from by then tho.

I hope you and I have wildly differing views on what good Pearl Jam sounds like, but I fear we don't :shock:

I'm still excited. Bring on Quick Escape and Take the Long Way :bammer:

Not that it's not possible for someone to genuinely not like an album but why does this criticism sound so general and as if it's not based on an actual first hand listening experience? There's nothing specific. Have you even heard the album yourself?

You’re projecting.

But I’ve saved this post for your inevitable essay that probably won’t come owing to your dissatisfaction with this

Real charmer, this one.
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…
