Well, (The Amazing) Gigaton had 5/12 five-plus minute songs. Here we have 4/11. I think this bodes very well.
did it really. Comes then Goes and 7 oclock. I didn't realize there were three others.

Retrograde and Rivercross were longer than I remember

Who Ever Said was also north of 5 minutes.

Who knew?!

Watt seems to have an energy about him that is contagious. I figured Jeff might be the most skeptical of him but he seems to love the guy. If you go on social media, Jeff likes everything that dude posts.

I’m excited.

Hopefully similar to the effect nick raskulinecz had on Rush. Sometimes you just need a little encouragement to remind people how awesome they are
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…

1. Scared of Fear – 4:24
2. React/Respond – 3:31
3. Wreckage – 5:01
4. Dark Matter – 3:32
5. Won't Tell – 3:28
6. Upper Hand – 5:57
7. Waiting for Stevie – 5:41
8. Running – 2:19
9. Something Special – 4:07
10. Got to Give – 4:37
11. Setting Sun – 5:44
I’m wondering if Running is going to be a Spin The Black Circle/Comatose type rocker.
might that be the fast rocker we hear with shredding at the beginning of the clips?

It could be. However, judging by the tracklist order I’m wondering if that is either Scared of Fear or React, Respond since that clip comes before the Wreckage and Dark Matter Clips. I’m wondering if it’s the very last metal door clip. It seems like a fast pace rocker.

Comes Then Goes is 6:04 but is that really the longest?

Edit: Inside Job is 7:09, but that includes some dead space and a secret track huh - the song properly ends at about 6:30

i swear to god, i feel like the weirdest, least predictable pearl jam fan. every song i like from the past 20 years seems like a castaway song for everyone else, and i'm left doubting myself.

i've always had a soft spot for inside job. :oops:

I remember liking Inside Job when Avocado first came out, but it's not a song I ever go back to now. Much like Leash I just can't stand the lyrics.
