Playing like they have something to prove.

Playing almost as if their lives depended on it.

Night all. We had a win tonight
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…

it's an angry song in a way very little (any?) of Gigaton wasn't. This is probably what they were aiming for (and missed) with Can't Deny Me

Good first listen, but only through my phone on a busy morning. Will hear it at work in about 20 minutes.

Steal the light from my eyes

Take the … from my chest
We're losing count, dark matter

Denounce the demigods
King diamond to destroy
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the lord

It’s strange these days
When everyone else pays for someone else’s mistake
Display ….
Till everyone else pays for someone else's mistake

Your rolling away
Your pulling apart
In all of this dark matter


I want you to sit and ……
Arrest….
No one knows what happened next


Denounce the demigods

No tolerance for intolerance
No patience left for impatience no more
No love lost for lost loves
No sorrow for the unaccountable
it’s strange these days, when everybody else pays for someone else’s mistake / this blame takes shape, still everybody else pays for someone else’s mistake.

Gets catchier after a few more listens.

New Pearl jam, woo hoo!

Ok off to bed.

The perfect post for the older PJ fan.

Jesus fucking Christ, has Pearl Jam managed to unite its 2024 fanbase in agreement? I am stunned.

Buy the digital single or 7".
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I agree but with one exception. DoTC was, by LIGHT YEARS, the best song on Gig.

Im sure they selected a very strong track, so I wouldn't assume it's the bottom and just gets better.

As long as this is representative of the quality of the other 10 tracks....we're in business big time.
