12th album rumors and speculation

people ordering records not receiving them over a year , no replies to emails .

Maybe it's the new Ten Club website

Asylum:

the protection granted by a nation to someone who has left their native country as a political refugee.

"she applied for asylum and was granted refugee status"

Seems to fit the bands vibe.

yeah, I actually think that has some potential for ideas; whether they mine it is another thing

[Ms Harmless]

I like Asylum as an album title.
It already speaks to me. I love the darker stuff from PJ and Asylum seems to indicate the songs are going to be dark.

Vs, on the other hand, despite being a fantastic collection of masterpiece songs, cringes me out as an album title. It's such an unimaginative, in your face, straight forward "I'm against that". I like subtler stuff when it comes to naming things.

"Asylum" isn't subtle to me, but it's interesting

I like "Vs." as a pun; it could also be "verses", and there are a fair few songs on that album with an activist edge, so it's perfectly descriptive

If Asylum is a fake, Return To Form is still a possibility for album title. It could have multiple meanings like humans(Trump supporters) devolving and returning to form as ape people.

They're changing shape and shit
Back to form
Oh me oh my
Why can't they seeeeeee?

Asylum is 99% probably not the album title. They’d be more likely to name an album after a turtle.

I could not fathom them calling an album 'Return to Form' I'd take 'Dick in a Box' over that.

[Farmer John]

Andrew Bird's My Finest Work Yet is a great album title.

[Kevin Davis]

'Asylum' sounds like an Insane Clown Posse album. Is Eddie now a Juggalo?

What makes you think he hasn’t always been?

Teenage Mutant Album Turtle

Andrew Bird's My Finest Work Yet is a great album title.

My favorite musical artist. Armchair Apocrypha is also a great album name.

[Fattie_Vedder]

The best album titles encapsulate the central theme of the album. That’s why I find albums after Riot Act have weaker titles. Binaural lacks that thematic link, referring to how the album was recorded rather than a key concept of what the album is talking about, not surprising given the tumultuousness of the time and and unclear direction. I still like Binaural as a title.

Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield are the best PJ album names.

Self-Titled is equivalent to them naming an album “Return to Form”

"We're Good Again"

I guess what I would want from a PJ album now would be for Ed to tap into something real, lyrically, and for the music to support it well. Maybe reflect on what it's like to be older and just be real, ya know? Stop trying to be badass, kewl spritzy rawkers and just be honest about some real shit. And please stop writing sentimental love songs.

this was literally the primary theme of the last two albums.

i just want them to stop trying to be a kewl rawk band.. it feels like they're trying too hard and it doesn't feel genuine to me

[Happy Trees]

They need to stop being spritzy and stick with the schmaltzy.

[Buby]

At the end of the day, they don't need to do jack shit.
