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…

How does it sound?
First 4 songs sound soooo much better. The No Leak Club will be rewarded for skipping the sub-par leak.
I'm still a member of the club and that's what I wanted to hear :bammer:

I'm listening to my best of BS/LB mix, about 2/3 of the way through. Gigaton is so much better.

Officially close enough that I don’t want to hear the low quality leaks, so I have the band on Spotify random.

It’s really remarkable how much better the lyrics are than in, like, several decades....but especially compared to the triteness of Lightning Bolt.

It’s also funny that this new album achieves the pop energy that Backspacer desperately craved without sacrificing any of the Pearl Jam.

I can’t get over how well this album is produced. Best album and best produced album since Yield.

In Pirate Bay there´s a 320 rip, I downloaded it, but it sounds the same to me. Maybe my ears are broken.

Yes, though the primary site has been down for the past few weeks. I'm presuming they're using a proxy site of some kind.
