I didn't laugh when I first read this but now as I listen to Release all I can think of is that those ohhhhhs are Eddie mooing and now I can't keep a straight face <_<
Reminds me of when somebody posted a dog howling at the climactic note of Pendulum

Doug Getaway was the welcome banner above the entrance to this world where our Pearl Jam jokes became simultaneously more absurd and far more accurate.
Benz pretty catchy uptempo song. It`s nothing crazy innovative but a great opener for the album i would say. I think the second verse was only voice and drums which was pretty cool. The melody is really catchy and you can sing along after first verse. But yeah it`s a bit - don`t know how to say it but it`s like a mixture of some PJ songs i heard before. So when i heard this i was a bit afraid that they really don`t have anything new to say...

Franzi We got this song twice because of a cd-error the first time. I liked it more after the second listen.
It's a faster mid-tempo song I would say. Not nearly as fast as MYM, but still one of the Top3 fast songs on the album.
Ed is slightly screaming the whole time. I guess the lyrics are about faith. Didn't understand much, but it's
more of an optimistic song.
lyrics snippets "hey heyy...it's ok" ... "it's alright"... (often)
"It's alright, I got my own way to believe" is a line that appeared more than once.
"sometimes you find yourself"...
Sounds strange, but it felt kind of right to the melodies.
...
The video was around 10 minutes long & featured parts of the songs Sirens,
Mind Your Manners, Lightning Bolt & Getaway.
Getaway was an early mix and sounded really different then what we heard on
the record later, Brendan apologized for ruining the song in that first
video.
Chris Bass doubles the vocals in the verse - if I had a guitar while listening, I would have figured it out, but now I forgot about it
Martin there are some real catchy tunes like "Sirens" or "Getaway" (love both)
Becki Getaway... First song it seemed catchy. I remember it had a good beat and I enjoyed it. An upbeat faster tempo.
Not nearly as fast MYM, but it was good.

Joost Ed sings about ‘Dark stormy weather’ over a pounding bass driven riff. It sounded ‘contemporary’, heavy and light at the same time. Dark lyrics but incredibly catchy melodies. Two blistering Mike solo and really strong vocals by Ed. A rocking pop tune like: The Fixer or Breakerfall (not that they have much in common) but less classic rock. More contemporary (like the Arctic Monkeys and The Killers had a lovechild..).

I brought a stopwatch to time the songs, but I was too excited so I
forgot to time Getaway but it's about 3 minutes long. The song itself
sounds hip and fresh and could easily been written by one of the
current rock bands. The song started with the lyric "Everyone's a
critic", which I guess will prove itself once the record is out.
Other lyrics included '"Find a lighthouse in dark stormy weather",
"it's ok,....make your getaway". The song had a start/stop feel to it
and ended with a guitar shredding outro.
Mirella Good opener. Not with a boom but a pretty happy song. Maybe as fast as MYM, hard to tell after just one listen. Lyric snippets I think I heard: ‘everybody naked in this town’, ‘all right’, ‘smiles’ ‘making love like the lizard’, ‘I got my own way to relate (?)’, ‘I got my own way to live’, ‘Hey hey it’s okay’, ‘faith’, ‘mine is mine and yours’. And I noted: singing guitars.
? Perfect as an opener! "Getaway" is a real crusher with a full-bodied Vedder. Raw rock guitars rock the song structure in unprecedented heights, like a hurricane earthy artifacts thrown into infinity. The windy noise take long drawn out notes and amplifier feedback, buzzing with gentle melodies in the middle.
Cai Trefor Opener ‘Getaway’ is immediately striking, its fierce riff self-assured with arena-shaking confidence. Guitarist Mike McCready’s solos reflect this band’s classic rock roots, while the vigorous beats from ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron are breathtaking.
Benjamin Bland Opening track ‘Getaway’ has the edge of punked up Vitalogy-era Pearl Jam but with a slightly more accessible edge. ”It’s ok, sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways”, sings an impassioned Eddie in the chorus. A rousing opening track.
Niall Doherty There’s malevolent stomps and spiky riffs all over the first three tracks, Getaway, Mind Your Manners and My Father’s Son. Those who are put off by Vedder’s voice won’t find redemption here, but the singer is a mightily fine rock’n’roll orchestrator, leading even the scowliest of verses into anthemic, hook-laden choruses.
Ed and Jeff were shown sitting together during the Raptors/Heat game tonight. Some song titles were mentioned, I think both announcers said that they were at Tuesday's show. Lucky fuckers saw Binaural.

They were interviewed ... couldn't hear a word they were saying over whatever music was playing in the arena during the time out ... but in the clip I saw, the interviewer didn't even consider putting the mic anywhere near Jeff's face. I wonder if the other guys get jealous of Ed in these situations, or if they'd rather just not be bothered and let him do it ... and I wonder if Ed loves the attention or if he wishes they'd talk to someone else in the band for a change.

I wonder.
I think (in an unhealthy way for their art/music) it reminds them that Ed is, by and large, the show. In the sense of keeping a band together for 25 years, the acceptance that Ed is holding the steering wheel is a useful thing. In the sense of pushing boundaries and making great art, the acceptance that Ed is holding the steering wheel is much less useful.
Jeff was in my neighorhood this week painting the side of Easy Street Records with a recreated Mother Love Bone wall. They usually have large hand painted album covers on this wall. I hope this stays for quite a while. I like all the torn handbills too
