After sitting with this for a few days now, like most of us I really am impressed. There's nothing quite as out there as Dance, but there is a lot of that adventurousness sprinkled throughout the record, even in the songs that might seem more "conventional." I don't think I could put it up with the 90s stuff, but this is not a band that's resting on anything, which is pretty laudable after what I would argue was a pretty long drought.

Alright is weird but great

It goes into those inviting chimes on the bass we heard in Jeremy. Always wondered what that world might sound like. It’s lovely

This is the Pearl Jam I love. Explore the space. Don’t bomb it.

I appreciate the sequencing the more times I listen to this album. As my esteem for songs on the second half continues to grow, I find it less uneven than I initially thought. Good God, this is such a beautiful album. I love it.

That’s a beautiful post.

You give me hope.

My problem is I keep playing 1-6 on repeat.

Need to stop that.

I’ll wear out the tape.

The first eight song are all damn good to amazing. Comes the Goes is amazing. Retrograde has a beautiful two minute crescendo. River Cross is an excellent closer, and Buckle Up is even starting to grow on me. It’s pretty remarkable. Gigaton is seriously fantastic. Give the second half a fair chance.

First 4 songs sound soooo much better. The No Leak Club will be rewarded for skipping the sub-par leak.

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…
