Brain of J, No Way, DTE, GTF, Red Dot, Faithfull, Push Me Pull Me... they could all be described as various levels of dark and / or adventurous (with the possible exception of GTF and Faithfull).

yep, looks just like the album cover :D
The black / 10C deluxe version. Let's see if anyone has the standard white version.

So you just selected a group of the songs saying they COULD be one thing, then promptly excluded two of them?

It would be really cruel if they just would not release the album at all. Just imagine...
Anyway, sorry, but it's past 11 here and I need to sleep, so the translations will be done tomorrow. It's not much text but I want to do it right and I know that always takes time. Even the cats do not have their clean litter boxes yet. It's sad.

groetjes en welterusten,
Mirella :)

One or two reviews have said that YM and MFS aren't amazingly different to standard PJ. It doesn't matter, if they're good, but after a lot of reviews said they were strange and different, that's what I was (still am) looking forward to.

Infallible seems someone adventurous if not quirky.
The last couple reviews are very mediocre at best if you ask me.

I agree. The one thing I've been thinking throughout the articles / reviews for this album is that music journalism has gone to the Lightning Bolt Dogs.

I was just thinking earlier today that I don't think I could adequately describe any Pearl Jam song. I am not gifted with words.
