Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Exactly. Give it a chance. Stop denying what it is, accept that what you're listening to is real and yes, it is Pearl Jam. And then let the magic happen.
By the way, can someone hook me up with a downloadable version of this? I've only managed to listen on that radio site.

Mixed feelings.
Musically it's very good.
Problem is it's Elton John kind of good.
WTF.

This song could've featured in Con Air, given its story.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
The song lacks any filter whatsoever between the band's emotional expression of their creativity and the listener.
Don't worry, lads...This is still grandma Pearl's Jam.

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…

Ironically, filters are not cool when smoking roll-ups.

Guys, I'm listening to this in Pakistan. I am using my company's VPN to connect via a US IP address. Being a multi-national's employee has it's benefits sometimes.
