In Backspacer's defense, the uptempo songs are the best part

Also, there were reports of them writing/recording with him a few times over the last 1-2 years.

Pearl jam have never worked too long on a record, they have just not released albums frequently. It could just mean "Lets get in and make a fucking record" And that has been a year long process.

And then, it might mean, instead of tracking each part over and over and over again...he got them in a room to bash out the songs...they have labored over.....and get good first or second takes

One thing that sounds promising in relation to the success of DOTC, is that it wasn't a song that a band member brought in to be worked on. That was them tinkering around in the studio, with each of them adding their part, which sounds like what we've been hearing about the writing process on this new album.

so embarrassing how far these guys have fallen off

we have to point to the fact that they are actually playing together in the same room as a positive sign

what if...the 10th day of the Ten Days of PJ thing they're doing on socials, etc...is a preview of whatever song they're choosing for the first single? or the whole song itself?

100%. If they took the "grip it and rip it" approach with someone like Rick Rubin or Tony Visconti, I'd be very intrigued. I have negative faith in Andrew Wottman and only hope to be proven wrong.

Matt has rarely played that creatively for Pearl Jam

this would seem fitting, considering they treat their fanbase as if they're all 13 year-old girls.

Honestly, if the only thing I got for Christmas was new PJ music I wouldn't be that upset.
