Gigaton: Official album thread

[Bammer]

Mike sounds more excited about the prospect of recording new music with TOTD, than with PJ

as I would be

we have oft imagined what contemporary pearl jam would sound like with a lead singer that didnt suck

and that exists in Chris Cornell fronting PJ

he is also a better guitarist

and better looking

and smarter

and writes better lyrics

Way taller

[WtOB?]

chris cornell fucking sucks.

[evenslow]

THIS IS GETTING FAR

[stip]

[E.H. Ruddock]

I hope they get away from the Art Institute senior project type of style for the album art next album. And stop putting out even more crappy art for each song like it is extra credit.

[CopperTom]

How will they sell Sevens for the next album then?

[wease]

Gibson: Do you think Temple of the Dog will record any new music together?

Mike: I hope so! It's up to Chris (Cornell) and everybody’s schedules. I would love to play with those guys anytime.


He plays with them all the time!! He talks like it's a completely different bunch of dudes.

Mike is the king of hope for shit that never happens.

"My solo album's almost done."
"We've recorded a bunch of extra stuff. Maybe we'll do another Lost Dogs."
"We're getting our schedules together."
"I'd love Off the Earth to get an official release."

Don't forget that avocado leftovers EP. haha
Well, It's probably true that he wants to release all of that. But he's not in the driver's seat. My guess would be that Ed and Jeff decide on what to release.

[Simple Torture]

So we know there's gotta be a song about the Cubs. How many songs about Trump on this record? 2? 3?

2 or 3 is a good guess.

And a song called "I still hate Bush"

[E.H. Ruddock]

Hmmm, in the spirit of "Bushleaguer", maybe "Trump-ets heard on high"?

[epilogue]

You guys wanted to know if Pearl Jam still has a great album left in them. Welp...

Yup. New album January of 2017 i bet....

[bodysnatcher]

The band hasn't been vital in my life for almost a decade now. But right now, I need them. Please pull it together.

[Birds in Hell]

I have a really hard time imagining a Trump-inspired Pearl Jam album will be an improvement on the last few.

If Ed defaults to banal sloganeering, it might even be worse.

I'd enjoy being wrong, of course.

[matt reeder]

They probably sat out this election because they didn't want to alienate the part of their base that loves Trump.

And that's why modern Pearl Jam is so disappointing to me.
