Uh oh....Eddie pissed off Fox News.

I made the mistake of reading the comment section of whatever news site I was on and....yeah

This album's OK, I guess. Like all of the post-Yield records, I'll never listen to the whole thing.

It's an improvement on Backspacer in that it has one legitimately excellent song that I keep wanting to return to (My Father's Son) and a handful of really good ones that I'll probably feel like listening to occasionally and will never mind hearing in a live set (Getaway, Mind Your Manners, Pendulum).

It's very poorly sequenced however and the missteps are arguably worse here than those on any of their previous records. It certainly doesn't inspire any great confidence in the future of the band.

I agree it is a step up from Backspacer and prob even ST....You have to take into account that this is their 10th Studio album...Not many bands have 5 good records let alone 8-10....and now there is only one direction for this band to go in...further into the darkness ...............sorry i like dark moody songs, albums....

It's certainly not better than S/T for me.

While that album had some clunkers, the good songs were still really good (and there was quite a few of them).

Truth right there. ST is a very good album.

It's next in line for the revisionist history treatment.

Someday even poor Backspacer will be allowed out of the shadows.

Yeah, only about a third of S/T is listenable.

Spenno is trying very hard to not at least call the album "Good"

Its fine, he will get over himself someday...

He said something like he almost wishes something bad would happen to gun owners. They were just bitching about him on that show The Five. The token liberal guy called him an old acid head loser or something. Pretty goofy.

Hey, I called one of the songs excellent! That's heady praise.

no such thing as bad press. I see sales increasing by the tens.

[stupidmop]

The question arises, do you arm the extra security?

Maybe this question is what the yellow moon symbolises.

It's really too bad the people that hate Pearl Jam already pre-ordered the LB vinyl. They could have made their voice heard at a time like this.
