But that isn't really saying much, there is just too much good music out there in the world to get real excited about this.
There was always a shit ton of better quality music out there than Pearl Jam.

PJ has always been my favourite band, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't understand every criticism thrown at them since Ten.

There is so much more better music today than in the 1994-2000 era. And a lot of that has to do with accessibility to music in general.

I like that you have all this cataloged internally.

You are an important part of the computer.
i actually just made it up
It's only slightly inaccurate.

That's gotta be a joke.
So we're pretty much are saying this track list is another fake? Ok cool
Im gonna guess its fake, like someone said, the rumored reworked uke song isn't on there

Though if they were really gonna use a reworked uke song, and the reasoning for not releasing the tracklisting was because they were still deciding on the final track list, then they could have dropped it, so who knows

Does "Catching Fire" look any more ridiculous than "Love Boat Captain" did?

Punch 'n Judy is kind of cool if it sounds like I want it to. Like Bugs II but with seaside fairground organ.
