[Coach]

no one looks good in the morning except the people on the news who have to get up at like 3 or 4 a.m. to start their day lol.

[stip]

[Buby]

Jeff always looks good

Yeah man, whatever he's doing, it's working.

[Ms Harmless]

[EBowie]

Spotify, why you gotta make it so hard?

I just found out that in addition to making sure that "Audio Quality" is set to "Very high" on wifi streaming, you also have to disable the default-enabled "Audio Normalization"

[FlatSideofaDog]

OK so Howard asked Ed to play HIS riff. It now seems Ed wrote WFS but had in mind a mellower song. Watt's contribution was to make it a mid-tempo rocker. Stone could refer to it as 'Watt's baby' because - probably to Watt's shock - the band went with something Watt felt ownership over, with the understanding that it was Ed's riff on steroids.

Why did Ed say he played Glorified G the other day lol, at what show?? good save.

Another reason to hire Watt again to produce.

this threads are all linked in the index post at the top of the forum. vote - we need accurate data!

What does the % represent? Percent of songs that received at least 4 stars? If so, I’d love to know how Vitalogy gets a 100% when it has mediocre songs like Satans Bed and Whipping on it, plus thematic ‘songs’ like Bugs, Pry To, That’s Me.

percentage of folks giving the overall album 4 or 5 stars

RM 5 star % only is pretty interesting

1. Yield 82%
2. Vitalogy 80%
3. Ten 76%
4. Vs 72%
5. No Code 65%
6. Dark Matter 61%
7. Binaural 49%
8. Riot Act 27%
8. Gigaton 27%
10. Avocado 22%
11. Backspacer 4%
12. Lightning Bolt 0%

Because I’m in a long meeting that requires nothing of me but attendance, here is the breakdown of the current album polls (total score divided by number of votes, converted to a percent):

Ten 94%
Vs 93%
Vitalogy 96%
No Code 91%
Yield 96%
Binaural 86%
Riot Act 80%
Pearl Jam 72%
Backspacer 56%
Lightning Bolt 44%
Gigaton 79%
Dark Matter 90%

That's crazy. I went back to vote in a few threads I hadn't.

Also, make sure to clean the wax out of your ears.

Im guessing at rehearsal. They have been doing it for a while. And i think he said no because it was Howard´s favorite
