Sampled all the songs and I'm intrigued. Certainly seems leaps and bounds better than the last three albums. Questioning the quality of the leak, though. Kinda want to wait for the official release to listen intently.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I'm still not sure if I like the chorus of Who Ever Said, or not.

Quick Escape has to be the third single, right? I expect it and a shit ton of Pearl Jam is Back! articles accompanying it.

first listen while cleaning the house, i actually liked the second half of the album more. i like the overall direction of the album, but i will need to give it a few more listens for it to fully sink in. the one song clearly matt wrote, and it kicks ass. DOTC might be my favorite. the song that sounds like its ed solo (?) is alot bluesier than i expected. i'm glad the final version of 'river cross' didnt come off overly emotional. some of the twists and turns in the songs are pretty unexpected. i dig the stuff in between the tracks.

Who in their right mind would want to be in the 10C after reading that?

Oh no, fans are excited and sharing our music! Shut it down, shut it all down!

Who Ever Said isn't bad, but Superblood Wolf Moon still sucks.

Superblood Wolfmoon would have been a nice b-side. I'd rather have Never Destination.

Right. What a great way to piss on the excitement of people who’ve given shitloads of money to keep the train going.
