10th album rumors and speculation

[E.H. Ruddock]

I am so scared.

[Thejambi]

If we started getting 'think binaural' in these song descriptions I'd just about start shitting hot fire myself.

Mike + 'Kinda Pink Floyd thing' is Inside Job. Which doesn't fill me with hope. Having said that, for some reason I find the idea of an angry punk song followed by an 'epic' song including piano quite interesting. An eclectic album with a lot of different styles might at least be something to chew on while we're deciding whether it's good or not, and inevitably moving towards a time when we'll feel confident that it isn't.

Well the descriptions are making me less bummed about the first single being a super fast rawker thing.

If its in between STBC and Comatose ill be one happy camper.

I'm getting pretty excited for the album. I have a friend visiting monday and tuesday next week and now I'm kind of annoyed he'll get in the way of the new single launch.

Maybe it'll just be the album announcement.

Friends are the worst.

At this point i could go for a whole album of Nothing As It Seem's...

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

This is really nitpicky, but wasn't I Am Mine the first single off Riot Act, not Save You?

yep

At least update the TSIS main page with a new screen shot of the clock every morning.

I was annoyed that they didn't make it widget that I could embed. I'll have a look later and see if I can create one. I bet a countdown widget is out there somewhere.

This should be the default response for any and all RM threads.

[harmless]

The track lists are bullshit and the supposed reviews are not anything to take seriously, but! For some reason, I think they have a real fucking surprising record ready. I don't expect Binaural, but I think it's going to musically be more in line with where I thought they would go post-Riot Act/Guacamole.

I am so scared.

I'm expecting everything we should be expecting at this point. I'm only hoping it's listenable. A new direction is unlikely (unless you consider the two songs recorded since Backspacer a 'new direction').

[Jorge]

It will probably be a rock album with some guitars in it. Maybe drums.

Don't forget the piano. Lots and lots of piano.

I'm really anticipating not liking the piano. I don't think Brendan O'Brien played the piano with any style or finesse on Backspacer.

What about Boom's carnival organ?

I'm trying to think of epic piano-based music a la Born to Run.

[Jorge]

Oh no. Oh, don't say that.
