That guy at the Australian listening party just replied to a question about the weaker tracks, confirming that Something Special was one of them. He can't be completely wasted then. Sober enough for a leak? Can't say.

Won't Tell sounds great very excited for that song + the rest of Wreckage. To me it sounds like 5 of these could be classics. Which is amost unthinkable. I will more that thrilled if one of these gets in my top ten. 2 or 3 in my top 40 it's a win.

A Pearl Jam album full of absolute bangers? Unthinkable!

This thing still hasn't leaked - is it possible it won't actually leak before release day?

I can't remember the last time that happened.

Ok we’ve identified the two weak songs (per this guy), they are Something Special and Wreckage.

Coincidentally I dislike both of them, so this sounds VERY GOOD to me.

He has the same gripe about Wreckage as me: this middle America jingly-jangly REM slash Tom Petty made for TV chum just doesn’t cut it for me.

Any of you guys will attend some listening party today? If so…you have a purpose.

This is the way.

Im still on the fence…the full song could take some turns, the metal door leak is different from the snipett…didnt seem so happy go lucky.

We've been listening to the metal door leak and analysing it, for crying out loud. Pretty sure we won't mind an iPhone recording from inside the store.

Excited to hear back from you, guys, I mean the ones going to screenings.
For the next 12 to 24 hours you’re the sole reason of RM’s existence.
