Is this a Brazilian cover band thing?

Pearl Jam is really weird about about their new songs getting out there on the interwebs. Its like they still think its 1994 and they can road test this stuff and expect it to be their little secret.

I bet MYM is all we get until the album is released. They are too anal and misguided abut this shit to give us anything else...

I wish the message that came up was 'Sorry, we can't find that sound (or the cloud it sat on)'.

I really feel like if there's another Just Breathe-type ballad on the album, it'll get dropped as single #2 before the album comes out, maybe late-September.

Hoping the clip of the new song played during soundcheck (evidently just instrumental) shows up again soon...

That would really piss me off honestly. You don't name your album LIGHTNING BOLT then have a bunch of puss songs like Just Breathe.... but it's PJ so anything is possible I guess.

Pretty much every album has had a ballad of sorts on it, so I'd be surprised if there wasn't one on this one. I just hope the quality level of it is closer to Nothingman than it is to Just Breathe.

This is off facebook for London. I have no idea why they'd soundcheck 2 days before.
Shit, that freaked me out.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I managed to hear one of the songs, didn't know there were 2 floating around.

One I heard was slow, had a nice pace to it and sounded a bit ominous/atmospheric. Of course that could just've been due to the echo/bad recording.
