[Ms Harmless]

[Strat]

Strat will proclaim it the best album ever for the first 3 weeks then sour on it!

I dont want a leak. I wont be able to say no. So i rather it just not leak.

I want a leak so I don't cave and buy tickets for the listen in the dark because I know if I do that and then it leaks I will be pissed.

I want a leak because I'm impatient

I want a leak we may be all dead by the 19th

This has been my dilemma. I’ve held off bc I’m assuming a leak and then what? Im gonna pay $30 to go and listen to the record I’ve prob already heard a dozen times or more played twice in a theater? Nah

Someone’s got to be able to make this happen for us. Who has the clout and connections to get it done?
Come forward!

We got a LB 4 song leak about 1 month out

[Leatherhead]

"While not exactly a complete apology for Gigaton, the comments the band have made thus far have an implicit undertone: If you didn’t like reflective aging Pearl Jam, don’t worry, we turned the guitars back up." Oh geez, don't say it ain't so. My worst nightmare.

Sounds like a potential Avocado situation. On the other hand, this also feels like speculation, considering that we've heard/read the comments by the band and I don't feel they are in any way antagonistic toward what they did on Gigaton.

I haven't gotten this vibe from anything I've read.

I don't think the sterogum review was that flattering.

[Tj]

Cohen actually didn't say one good word about the record.

[Tj]

Also Trag says it probably stinks. Strat says it Sticks after smelling it a few weeks.

I agree

To sum up Sterogum. Pearl Jam is a old band who made sum great records many years ago. They haven't mattered for decades. This was a good attempt at rekindling something. It soldered even though they used wet wood and forgot the white gas. If you are a die hard fan you'll enjoy, because well your a die hard fan. If your not move on nothing to hear here.

[Tj]

I think the hot dog flavored water band is more of the thing right now.

[Tj]

But I know Dark Matter will be one of my favorites. I feel bad because I know what that will mean for the Rmers

That sounds like a pretty honest assessment to me. They haven't been culturally relevant, in a significant way, for twenty-five years. That's not to say they're incapable of a fantastic late-career highlight, but, let's be honest; the only fans who care about new music are the die-hard fans. Everyone else goes to the shows, at this point, to nostalgically re-live their first bong hit or the backseat they first got fingered/blown in. Takes nothing away from the achievement of the record itself. There's nothing egregiously offensive in that take, from where I'm sitting. It is what it is.

I've been watching plenty of March Madness lately, still waiting to hear a single PJ snippet
