If nothing else, they seem to be the most "spiritual" Pearl Jam albums.

That's the biggest compliment I can give this album and I wouldn't even have thought that was possible after the last 10 years. Bring on Euro tour 14!

And I like LB. I just don't think PJ could ever do anything better than SR from here on in.

Yup.
Yep. Because these can be objectively compared, right?

No fucking way, man.

Sigur Ros have some fantastic stuff, but seriously, when I want to listen to Sigur Ros is one thing, when I want to listen to Pearl Jam totally another. Have your preferred album, no problems, but there's no way it's any such cut and dried a-deal.

Well, obviously you think it is, because you said 'No fucking way, man' to my opinion.

No, I said "No fucking way, man" to enhance my ironical statement that I thought for a second that PJ and SR could be compared. Calm down, dude.

No one said anything about objectivity. Everytime you say something's good, or something's bad, or something's better than something, you're making a cut an dried claim that is only your subjective preference and someone else's equally subjective no fucking way man.

Yeah. Soundgarden should get another drummer for their 2014 tour dates.
