Can anyone confirm whether these tracks sounds like demos/rough mixes? If so, I will probably go in search of them so I can save them and go back and listen to them later after the album comes out.

Otherwise, as a charter member of the much disgraced and maligned no leak club, if these are official album cuts, I'll keep my distance... :shake:

I like the slightly rough guitar noodling before LTRP starts, and the tiny bit of background studio sound at the end of... I can't remember. But both are poppy nods to Riot Act.

I hate to say it, but I like Swallowed Whole. It is the Fixer meets Faithful and Setting Forth

Is it a sitcom loosely based on 'Groundhog Day?' :D

It will make a good bumper on a sports broadcasts. If anyone asks me if that's Pearl Jam I'll say no though.

This version of lightning bolt is confusing to me. I'm curious if this is possibly a demo. The reason I bring this up is the lyric change and the outro, particularly the horrible lyrical delivery at 3:48-3:50. I can't imagine that wouldn't have been edited out.

I think the song is better here than live, but the end of this sounds... um... kinda unprofessional.

I want to see how many of the no leak club have caved...I gotta give you props man, I couldn't do it...id imagine detoxing off of dope would be easier...but to answer your question they are closer to album cuts than demos id say

Yeah, you're right, it sounded way better at Wrigley :?

Nah, it sounds better here. But, seriously listen to his vocal at 3:48. If you were producing this, you would have let that in?

I'm not sold on this being a studio "final" edit.
