I dont really hear No Code at all.
I think that's about right. It also has a fan club single experimental vibe to it
yeah, true...from 1999 or 2002.
Exactly

First listen through, Quick escape, Seven o clock and buckle up were all awesome, I need more time with who ever said, I feel like I’m going to really like alright, never destination and take the long way are a bit forgettable and the closing 3 are going to be really good. I can’t wait to get through this thing a few times tomorrow to see how all of that changes

This album feels more like Binaural to me in the variety - yet with the upbeat energetic of yield.

I got two things to say.

I think I really like Retrogade

I can't wait for everybody to hate this album

Really glad to be here amidst all of the post-album coitus, but, I think I'm holding out. Not for the release date, but, .Flac files/full CD-quality.
Ears are too persnickety to be able to properly assess this as is.

Happy for all who are enjoying the album. I'm beyond thrilled to see this much enthusiasm over a new Pearl Jam record .

Special thanks to the one who came through w/ this for me. Very appreciative.
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…

Is the first album in a while that hasn't made a huge chunk of people go 'So I guess the previous album wasn't that bad after all'?

Having listened once, I’m also now holding out for the same reason.

It was interesting to hear the songs but the quality of the leak isn’t high enough to properly enjoy the record, so I’m happy to wait now.
