How do we know this my life is on hold till Thursday, and I am thinking Iwill be screwed cause it will be Lightningbolt
Well it's pure gossip but LB? Pj would never be as obvious as to release a title track as a single and apart from that the guy knows its sirens.
I believe him only cos he was 100% up to now.

We need spenno here, stat
CC is a top 10 song for me.
In fact tied for the top spot cause I can't pick or put these in order they tie.
Black,Cordroy Given to Fly, Unthought Known, Just Breath, CC, Longroad,LastExit, Tremor Christ, and In my Tree

Only sign you can trust that a band have achieved greatness, is by the vast gulfs of opinion in its fan base

Pj are the best band ever if you follow my logic.
I can't believe I admitted to two Backspacer songs being that highly regarded by myself. I will never be respected again by Pearl Jam hipsters

Backspacer is a great bunch of songs and don't be bummed. There are classics on there just about to bloom.
Johnny Guitar doesn't get enough credit.

Polls disagree
Everyone knows polls are the correct method for determining these things.
Only because the new songs aren't on youtube yet.
:ohyeah!:
They are actually on YouTube
They're not. Those are fakes.

They were there. Glad that's gone. YouTube isn't fair on artist or listener.

I´m still pissed and frustrated about this, more specifically the outro solo. Maybe this is an edit? One of the reviews reported that the song was 4:35, this is 4:14.
The only one who timed was enimmi, and his stopwatch did not stop or start right during one of the songs, so he estimated that one. Could well be the case here.

groetjes,

Seems like some tempers may be flaring a bit. Everyone needs to put on Ole and just relax.

I doubt it. I'm expecting a sternly worded series of posts even were the band to play the songs live in his living room haha
Not if Jack Irons was on drums!
