On iTunes we can see that Wreckage, Running and Something Special have explicit lyrics

This album is going to drop at the same time as my second child, so much like Gigaton was my pandemic soundtrack, this will probably always be associated with this one big event. And nappy changing.

That is just perfect.

The album will drop when I have a week off. Planning a few days travelling, but returning home on the 18th. So a drop on the 19th is perfect. Hopefully in the morning like today.

I suspect we may have one or two more tracks that clock in at around 3-3.5 minutes so that implies the rest would be fairly long, which is great.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Haven't heard anyone get too excited that we're getting a CD/blu-ray deluxe package with hi-res audio and Dolby Atmos.
You could listen to Dolby on Apple Music, a'course, but, it's nice to hear about a physical release this time.
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…

Think of all the fans of both that will have to choose.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

:D No telling how long the kiddies have been saving their chocolate milk money to set aside for both.

I’ll be one. I’ll make time for both.

I suppose #1 albums don’t mean much anymore, but from an advertising standpoint, being able to lead with, “Supporting their ___ (Idk) #1 album…” is off the table. Wouldn’t a #1 still be a feather in the cap for these old boys?

Went to pre-order the vinyl and CD. $50 for shipping is bonkers. I’ll just get the Amazon versions with free shipping. Love to support the local business but asking me to spend $115 for one CD and one record is simply not reasonable.

45 minutes for the 10 remaining songs is highly encouraging. Because yeah a couple of those will almost certainly be sub-4 minutes, which leaves plenty of runtime for several longer tracks. Factor in that these first 3.5 minutes are good, and all signs just might point to "great."
