I think this is the one by bluestate. No crying baby, but a guy says "I need more pizza" just when Upper Hand starts. :haha:

The crowd is generally quiet during the songs, which makes this very listenable.
Ha yeah, that was my recording. I almost made it through with a clean recording until the store owner yells out "I have more pizza here!" He seemed really concerned that we weren't eating enough pizza. Everyone there was super focused on listening. Like "shut up dude, we're listening right now, we'll eat your pizza when this is done."

What kind of pizza?

I planned on waiting for the vinyl, but quickly caved after reading everything. Great to see such a positive response to the bands 12th album! I had pretty high expectations coming off Gigaton, and these guys somehow seemed to have topped them. Of course there's some new album excitement involved here, but front-to-back there is so much to love about these songs. Something Special lyric's are rough, but having a baby daughter probably softened me a bit on that. While I've grown to appreciate each album they've released, some hit immediately (Yield changed my whole taste in music) and others took some time to digest (No Code, the back half of Gigaton). DM is definitely an immediate hit. Can't wait to get my vinyl and play this loud!
Thanks! Welcome to the board
And I repaid your kind words by bottom paging you, sorry

I caved in and gave the recording a listen. This is probably the most immediate and hooky and sentimental Pearl Jam album there is. I'm sure I will enjoy this a lot when it's officially released. My worry is if these immediate hooks will have staying power or if they're more like candy you get sick of.

Yep, that's the only worry I have.

We will see what the future holds.

How many songs on the album are about Vicky Cornell? By my count, it's 8.
