And what constitutes him shitting the bed, specifically, in your opinion?

[evenslow]

Interesting. And why would he do this? Laziness? Industry standards changing? Over-reliance on technology?

[Strat]

Industry standards, wanting airplay on top rock radio stations, trying to stay relevant, PRAMG, breathy vedder etc...

[Strat]

This all boils down to PJ really wanting to stay relevant and on the radio, yea?

Im half through the Yield episode...i really liked the No Code one even if i dont agree in a lot of stuff..the filler part and the hate with Off He Goes being two of them...but its a really cool thing to hear how weird this album is...i agree that its very uneven and even with that in mind, its my favorite one with Vs.

[evenslow]

The guest on the Yield episode betrayed his lack of knowledge by dismissing All Those Yesterdays b/c it's one of those way over-long songs PJ does too often. He clearly looked at the track listing and saw the 7:47 listed for ATY and didn't listen. WE all know the time duration is because of the extended track...

You can't slip that kind of shit by The Jamily.

I am willing to call these kinds of transgressions out for now, but there will come a time when I need my fellow Jamily members of the Faithfull to carry me down the beach.

[Monkey_Driven]

I would not describe Pearl Jam as a band that has too many long songs.

I haven't heard the podcast, and I think sometimes fans can shit on people in interviews like this for relatively minor transgressions, but that's pretty dumb.

[VinylGuy]

finished the yield one..yeah, some comments are pretty weird...pearl jam long songs? Not really...Eddie not being good on ballads? Weird.

[guestT]

Only had time to listen to the first few minutes of the Yield ep this morning and it got off to a bad start. "If you talk about Yield you have to talk about Matt Cameron..." Uh, not really. And the guest being a stereotypical "checked out after Vitalogy" fairweather fan....sigh. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised but not impressed so far.

[LetMeSleep]

Have to remember that these guys are pretty casual fans appealing to even more casual fans.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i get that they seem more casual fans...and its ok. Even if i dont agree its a fun listen.

Yep but it makes me wish there was an RMer fact checking or clarifying as they went. And do they have to go thru the backstory every ep.

[VinylGuy]

it is kinda tiresome...specially the whole last names stuff...just talk about Jeff or Dave. Please.

[digster]

I don't know, I kind of doubt there is that big an audience of people who aren't really PJ fans who would want to listen to people talk about them for an hour and a half.
