it bleeps out "fucked up" in My Father's Son

Yellow Moon is pretty fucking cool...

There was a real lack of a melody I thought. It was alright.

I liked the dark atmosphere, almost smoldering. I think it's gonna be killer live.

It was cool. I liked it. I was just surprised that Ed almost sounded like he was improvising around the lyrics, when the rest of the album had had some quite strong and precise melodies. But Yellow Moon is probably more typically Pearl Jam in that way.

[Jorge]

I still really like "Swallowed Whole".

[HardTI]

My Fathers Son is much cooler than I thought. It's a total rocker which is not what I was expecting.

[stip]

Stip - can this really be considered a leak still?

yeah. It is commercially available material.

[Dugg]

Pendulum needs another minute at the end to cruise.

I was thinking it needs another three minutes...

[Jaeti]

Really glad I didn't listen to the Wrigley Future Days. I think I'm going to like this song since I didn't spend the past two months hating it.

[harmless]

I'm getting big autotune vibes, that's freaking me out a bit.

Not hearing it.

But, as a reminder, while autotune is almost certainly a presence on this record the people who work with autotune have gotten incredibly good over the years. If they don't want you to hear it, rest assured, you won't.

I hope you find something to like here, McP.

Actually really like the production on Future Days -- total Springsteen feeling.

It is also around 128kbps to 256kbps - I've got this hooked up through a sound card with some AiAiAi headphones but the sound ain't that good. Anyways.

I still really like "Swallowed Whole".

It's in a good spot on the record as well.

It's pretty nice. Overproduced? Yeah, but it's way better than Wrigley.

[Juvenal]

Sirens still sounds out of place where it is.

it's still my least favorite song on the album sadly... that 'Sleeping By Myself' and 'Let The Records Play'

[Jorge]

Not surprising about the bitrate. These iTunes streams are always kind of flimsy in that regard.

[Iowaska_Experience]

yeah. It is commercially available material.

Understood, but I was more asking about the No Leak Club and their feelings on this. I only directed it to you b/c you mentioned the word leak.

[Strat]

Yea, infallible. Damn.

Not that its a bad chorus its just totally unexpected. I kind of want that verse shit to go on forever and ever.

FIFY

Sirens still sounds out of place on the album.

i don't HATE the song, never did, but i still stand by my generic 80's sounding ballad assessment. it's just too clean/glossy.

Hmm... I'll get back to you on that one

[LetMeSleep]

Overall there are more colours and tones than on BS and ST. I feel the album is all over the place and lacks identity but it may be the jukebox approach as I discussed with Harmless weeks ago. There is a great 8 track mini album in here for sure. And there's something here for everyone, Chud and Platy and hopefully v_t_t too (MFS and Pendulum i think)
