Pearl jam references up the wazoo on sport center:
"Jeremy has spoken"
"Got some if you need it"
Let the records play spinning in the background.

This review made me laugh. The reviewer slams the whole thing, and then his favourite song is LTRP.

All filler, no killer. Except for the funniest paragraph.

"“Pendulum” is nearly four minutes of sonic filler and adds absolutely nothing to the album. It’s basically a musical interlude on an album that’s full of songs that already suffer because of their musical interludes."

"LTRP should've been longer, though. It fades out just as Eddie says "Faster! Faster!" and honestly, I would've loved to have heard what the song was about to do... like, maybe it was going to get faster and faster until it became another punk song."

Yeah I loved that. Neil and Kenny are pretty big PJ fans I take it. I remember Neil really talking up Backspacer when it came out. They've been alternating between LTRP and Getaway all week so far. I think when BS came out they alternated between Got Some and Force of Nature a lot during release week. I don't know how I remember this shit

After the first 5 or 6 spins, I think MFS is my favourite of the bunch.

I really do like Sirens though. :oops:
