this isn't nearly as washed in reverb, it's a small room as opposed to an auditorium

I guess I really have to reset my expectations of "heavy!" when used to describe old-dude Pearl Jam. This happens every album cycle for the past 20 years, and I always fall for it. Who knows? Maybe my thoughts will change when the door is taken out of the equation.
when was the last time this band was actually heavy? at most they're "hard rockin' " in the kind of way you hear when you go to a sports bar

I do like the reports of Jeff getting emotional about it all.
Ed just poured him too many tequila shots.

Isn’t there a copyright website where the album name would be posted? I seem to remember that being a hallmark of this stage of album anticipation in the past.

Nah, it's a colonoscopy shot. This is all the shit they just couldn't squeeze out for previous albums.

The use of "squeeze out" is the standout in this sentence.

So that image is apparently from a shirt at the event. Makes me think either Wottman or Eddie has a thing for spirals (there's one on Earthling too).

No results found for anything Pearl Jam since 2023. We’re doomed.

Looks like my endoscopy last summer. But, good news is, zero polyps.

I wonder which hold we are exiting in this “shot”. Are we coming up, or out?
