After hearing this (8 or 9 years ago) there was no going back.

Nope.
50 page jump would indicate something legitimate happened. This 5 page jump is whatever is the opposite of a circle jerk.
50 page jump = real news

5 page jump = pun run

Deep was my favourite song on Ten when I was a kid. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you.
it was Boom. He's taking the photo. Ed knows it was Boom and thinks it's great
This post really tickled me

Haven't heard Ed sing Deep in a long time & Blood has been a total train wreck on recent tours

1995 Eddie could sing the shit out of both of those

I don't know how 2020 Eddie could pull a song like that off now.
Agree in general though I am more worried about Ed trying to pull off vocals like WWS, Evacuation, Army Reserve as they are more challenging to sing (Higher vocal register).

bring on the dad rock. i'd honestly take just breath, unthought known, and future days over anything on Ten besides black and release, at a show.

Brian Fallon (former Gaslight Anthem signer) has an album releasing the same day as Gigaton. He released his first single 12/18 and has put out three since. That’s literally half the album.

I don’t listen to as much new music as I used too, but these slow rollouts really don’t feel like the right way to go about things in 2020.

The April 94 run is pretty much peak live PJ. it's weird to feel how much changed between this show and the Orpheum gig less than 2 weeks later.

That 2 week stretch was a turning point for Pearl Jam and the music world in general

I'd be pretty fucking pissed if I died before getting to hear this record.
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…
