The "stunning" Retrograde is the "payoff"? Hmmm

It's a universal thing where band members dress in mostly/all black after age 50.

It won't sound like music that was made 30 years ago.
It will have moments that remind us all that Pearl Jam (and its fanbase) is getting older.
This is going to be fine.
Worst haiku ever.

Ok.

Oh boy. This is getting tastier by the review. Retrograde and Seven O'Clock are potential highlights for me. I'm a sucker for these types of songs. Not to say I'm not looking forward to the others because I am. Do we really have to wait until the 27th? :?
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Is it me or is Mike looking more and more like Charlie Watts? Plus Stone still hasn’t cracked a smile

My excitement continues to build most likely attributable to each reviewer having different affection for almost every different song on the album.

My excitement is building because it's the only thing I have left to look forward to thanks to coronavirus cancelling the tour.

MBV-go-metal sounds tasty
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…

You don't want snippets. Snippets will make you more anxious. At this point I hope they don't share anything else from the album until release.

Yeah the next thing I will listen from Gigaton is the full album, even if there is one more single release before 27th.

Unfortunately here in Brazil they postponned the Cinema experience, so no 2 days anticipation after all.
