12th album rumors and speculation

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Eventually

One person in the band says hopefully out this year and people are losing their shit bc it hasn’t dropped within the first 3 weeks of 2024.

Exactly

Nah that’s not it. You’re misattributing the frustration here. Nobody is angry bc a record hasn’t been announced thus far in the year.

If an album is “mixed, mastered, and ready to go”, there is literally no reason not to release it right this moment. Who cares whether a tour comes next month or in 4 months? It literally does not matter. If the music is ready, let’s hear it. The days of build up and hype are long in the rearviewmirror

Seriously, this is why artists have moved to just dropping songs piece meal.

Honestly the concept of an album is fading and I don’t care. Let’s just hear the music - it’s always been about that for me. I don’t need artwork (though I suppose it’s interesting), I don’t need teases, or hype. I just want to see 12-14 songs pop up on Spotify when I wake up Friday morning. Or, drop a couple each week for 2 months. Whatever.

Just give us the music IF it’s actually read. No need for the accoutrements.

Are PJ fans that impatient and entitled with everything in their lives?

Not sure why everyone is excited anyway. When it comes out it will be like when you think you’re eating a paté when in fact it’s a can of cat food. We think it’s good because Pearl Jam but then backspacer

Ruddo, Gigaton was pretty good.

So fancy feast instead of meow mix. My bad

too soon man

If Gigaton was pet food, it would be Blue Buffalo. I never expected I would write that sentence in my lifetime, but this is how far this thread has fallen.

For the posters from the fall’s tour.

Wow. Another kick in the nuts. This album is NOWHERE close.

HAHA!

I’m sure some are, after all, normal distributions and such. Having said that, pointing out what seems to be a very old and very flawed way of thinking about how you release your art to the world hardly seems entitled.

Critical? Certainly.

tbf there has been like four articles, two interviews, socials talking about it

I just think, if you don't have music ready, shut up, no one cares; if you do, drop the music

[bodysnatcher]

A bunch of people around here who have obviously never edged

It’s as simple as that.

Evolve. Lives are too busy for teases and rollouts, AND, no one cares.

If the album is ready to roll, let’s hear it. I’m coming to every show I possibly can regardless.

Maybe they’re trying to - hear me out - appeal to/draw in more listeners of music than just you.
