Wait, the versions of Superblood and Dance on Spotify right now are different than what I had previously downloaded from that site. I can hear more of the echo around Ed in Superblood, various small details, and a part I hadn’t noticed yelling on the left side at the end of Clairvoyance (four minute mark)
are you talking about the HEY HEY part? I love that.
Yeah. I downloaded both songs the day they dropped, and I’ve been listening to those downloads all this time. I just checked again, and that part isn’t in that very first download. So at some point they reupped a version with a wider palate. Whether that happened a while ago or just recently, I dunno
I've heard it since it was released on spotify. I don't think I would've picked it up had I not had headphones in.

I'm not sure how I feel about this album right now but one thing is for sure, I love the sound. This is so much better sounding than the last two. I know y'all have talked about that and just wanted to reiterate it and that I agree. 18-ish years to hear a studio album sound good was a long time, time will tell how much of the actual music sticks with me.

Those yells on "Dance" are definitely in the Youtube version of the song. I noticed them.

in the right channel, yes.

in the left - right after the 4 min mark - it sounds like AAA AAAA or HEY HEY.

at least that's what I'm hearing.

Still love Superblood Wolfmoon. Don't get the hate.

Please do not delete or move this song.

Thanks,

Have we attempted to retrack this? Great album but I think the sequencing could have been better. Thoughts? Going to think about this and give it a go.

Improved sequencing:

Buckle Up (nice moody gentle opener)
Whoever said
Never Destination
Come then goes (little breather)
Quick Escape
Retrograde (close out side A)
SBWM
Alright
7 o clock
Take the long way
DOTC
River Cross

I like this flow a lot.

Well done Pearl Jam.

Best album since Yield, Gigaton is what Binaural was suppose to be.

It doesn’t have a bad song for eg Never Destination would of opened and been one of the best song on the last two albums.

Who Else Said
Quick escape
DOTC
Comes Then Goes
SBWM
Take The Long Way
Buckle Up
Retrograde
Never Destination
Seven. o’clock
River across
Alright

The production is mind blowing.

It’s such a confident album.
