She really does bear a remarkable resemblance.

He's got enough of those images in the broom cupboard to stretch a mile wide.

'Infallible' needs to leak today.

You have to want it, harm.

The next part's just as great:
So, it’s no surprise to say that their tenth studio effort Lightening Bolt is what you would expect from Pearl Jam. With trusted producer Brendan O’ Brien (famed for his big rock sound) at the helm it has the bombast to be considered up there with the band’s best.
what was this from, mcP?

A part of me dies inside every time I read an early review like this.

It pilfers from other reviews and doesn't say much of its own, though.

Too bad it doesn't blatantly mention "a full bodied Vedder" to confirm it was a hijacked review.

'Infallible' kinda has a Rocky feel, with the "HUH" and "HA" sounds.

I'm pretty sure the entire first paragraph (and then bits and pieces of the rest) is lifted from another one.

From the snippet i heard in the Stone vid, there was a sort of Tremor Christ vibe going on.

I really, really, really wish i wasn't listening to internet leaks of the tracks. I've ruined just about every new Pearl Jam album for myself since 2003.

I've taken away the magic and mystery of hearing new PJ music for the first time.....

It's like discovering that there's no Santa Claus.

Fuck you internet, fuck you.
