The easy solution would be to figure out which keys they’re in, because albums virtually never sequence songs in the same key.

I am not going to do this.

A handful of them have this vibe.
Which?
I've only listened to the entire thing a couple of times. I just hear a couple of generic pop melodies that strike me as poppy, even for latter day Pearl Jam. Infallible's chorus always struck me that way and I never really liked it.

Yeah two in the middle are in the same key. At least I believe they are.

For me about 5 of the 8 clips were interesting. I just wonder why only clips were uploaded and agree there could be multiple clips from songs here.

*1-screeching solo guitar tone reminds of DTE
*2-In My Tree vibes
*3-Of the Earth-ish
4-Parachutes but with a guitar solo over it
5-not sure but not a big fan of this
*6-Amongst the Waves feel
7-a country tempo
*8-feels like a Gigaton song

Nothing here really reminds me of the first three albums, maybe a little Yield or No Code. As far as teasers go I will always wish for a proper rock album without the slow second side they seem to always have now.

6 doesn't give be those vibes at all this feels soundgarden like.

5 and 6 COULD be same I think.

Sorry, I don’t get a single shred of infallible on any of these (thankfully).

But really, infallible isn’t THAT awful. Live version is an improvement. I think it suffers quite a bit from the choices made regarding instrument sound/effects . It’s very hard to take the song seriously when you hear guitars that sound like keys and horns.

Once again, could have been so much more. The chorus melody is too poppy.

I also don’t think it ever soars. To me soaring is:

GTF
Inside Job
In Hiding
LBC

Correct...more vowel-heavy syllables required
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

what if every clip is just one single and it's about to be Pearl Jam's Paranoid Android / Chop Suey / Bohemian Rapsody
