It definitely won't suck, its gonna be good, its just a question if it will be good enough to be on the level of ten through riot act for me

[WtOB?]

I don't think this will be as bad as Backspacer at least. They seem to have taken more time with it. And it'd be pretty hard to be worse than that hunk of shit.

[Lament]

If the new album stays in my regular rotation for at least three months and has one song that I'd put in my top 50 Pearl Jam songs a year after its release, I'll be ok with it.

how often would you say you get excited to hear the strained screams of a 48-year-old man?

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.

Not sure about buying into this. Last time they had a record coming out, a "reliable source" told me one of the songs was going to be titled, "SEAWEED IN MY MOUTH", and it's description was that of Ed having suffered a bad surfboarding accident that shook him so hard he had to journal it in a song. Was to be the next "REARVIEWMIRROR".

Such promise, only to be completely false.

[harmless]

Rearviewmirror and MFC are fast.

They are.

[Got Some]

STBC, black comparisons excite me!!!!

A full band version of your true, broken hearted or satellite would be great. Especially if they can recapture what they did with cant keep.

Roll on 6 days!!!

[harmless]

It really would be nice if they could throw something out before then, even if it was a shitty Verizon clip.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Has this thing leaked yet?

[Got Some]

Has this thing leaked yet?

Not for another 6 days apparently !!

AlternativeNation.net reader/contributor PJ has given more thoughts on Pearl Jam’s new track “Sirens” off their upcoming 10th album:
“Ya know some people are gonna be let down by this comparison. Nothing will be like Black. This record isn’t coming out in 1991 and this isn’t the end all be all ballad of unrequited love.
But musically, I have never been taken back by a PJ song on my first listen like this and I love all their songs and am an obsessive bootleg collector. It fits the same mold as Black would if it were to just be released is my point. And yes, Mike McCready is as Dimi has said 1000000 times, God. On this one especially.
Mind Your Manners is an obvious first choice for a single of the four that I heard. The same as Save You, WWS & The Fixer were in retrospect. People like myself and those commenting on the boards about this are gonna eat this shit up regardless of what the single is. The general music listening population doesn’t know shit from roses so you won’t hear this song til October. They could have gone with the Uke song had it not been off Ukelele Songs but Mind Your Manners it the best choice. If you look back at the August 2009 leg they did before Backspacer was released on a Sunday in September, they were only playing The Fixer, Got Some and debuted Supersonic. I would expect the same and you will hear Mind Your Manners and MAYBE that Uke song because it’s not really new at the two July shows coming up.
Don’t know what else there is to say. Hope you’ve enjoyed what I have had to report but if you’re putting all your expectations in hearing Black 2… you’re for lack of a better saying… really fucking stupid.
Love your PJ. They’re the greatest band ever. Stop being so cynical about them. It is what it is. Matt Cameron is the greatest.
PEACE & you can all buy me beers in Brooklyn.
(Not calling you stupid, Brett. Love the site. Keep it up) ”
