10th album rumors and speculation

[Birds in Hell]

So they're going to announce the tour in a week but not the album? Woop-de-fucking-doo.

Que? I think he's been pretty consistent in saying the album and tour will be announced next week with the album itself released on/around September 30.

I thought Cold Concession was just the original name for Comatose

Yes this is right. Harmless, what's Fonzie like?

And there hasn't been a Sirens bandied about until now. This means the rumored tracklists are probably bullshit. Shocker, I know.

So did I until I read his alleged latest post, which only mentions one.

Ah, never mind then.

My excitement was, relatively speaking, through the roof over all this PJ stuff. It has since been tempered with the arrival of Toad the Wet Sprocket on the office radio.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I didn't get the impression anything had changed. We'll see soon enough, regardless.

I feel like this thread is bringing Speeno and I closer together.

from the Pit:

I know someone who has heard some of the new PJ music and here is this person's take on it. It's not a lot more than what has been posted from Australian and South American media, but it's from someone I know and I trust their excitement and knowledge of the band.

His quick review made me all giddy about new PJ music. I just love that feeling. So I wanted to share it with all of you. I love this band. God how I love this band.


Mind Your Manners is REALLY fast. Fastest song they've had in 15 years. Maybe inspired by the Ramones and definitely reminiscent of Spin The Black Circle.

And then Sirens. Wow. Epic song. 5 minutes long. Lots of piano. Soaring vocals. Really layered sound. Some effects on Mike's guitar. I loved it!!

I didn't get the name of the 3rd song, but I liked it, too. Not as much as the first two, but a good, solid PJ tune.

Heard Mind Your Manners twice - it will be the first single.

before people panic about how fast the song is, there are many fast songs in pearl jam's catalog. Only one is supersonic.

Its the most wonderful time OF THE YEAR!!!

I wish you guys would all relax. Something will reveal itself, and soon.

Hey Reid.

So, listed plus points:

"REALLY fast."
"Maybe inspired by the Ramones and definitely reminiscent of Spin The Black Circle." (Only one of these things can be true, surely. I'm betting money on the first one.)
"Epic song. 5 minutes long." (Wow, yeah that sure is epic!)
"Lots of piano. Soaring vocals."
"Sound effects on Mike's guitar."

I bet Sirens sucks. It'll be this album's Amongst The Waves or Unthought Known.

A lot of people have tried. Not one has succeeded. He is currently a work in progress. Normal service will hopefully resume shortly.
