Guys stop pm'ing me for links to the album, I don't have it and I haven't heard the album. The only thing I can confirm is the tracklist, that's it, and I've heard a snippet of DOTC too.

How it pains me to be reminded of Out of Sand, even for the briefest moment.

You mean there’s no song called Gigaton. Just imagine what Eddie Vedder could do to that word in song. RM dream come true.

I wonder if that means there is a second album on the horizon? Or if that was totally scrapped? We've heard rumors of a double album, a No Code 2, and a quieter synthy thing. IF there is a second album and not a totally scrapped and trashed previous album, will it drop later this year? Will it drop in 6 months? 12 months? Next month? Or even if it's finished will we have to wait another seven years? :lol:

It's always interesting which rumors come true and which don't.
Time for a 12th Album (Rumors and Speculation) thread!

I believe it already exists.

I like the cover art, I like the name of the single, I love that they moved away from O'Brien - it's looking good.

I'm not expecting miracles but a solid, enjoyable addition to their catalogue would be very welcome, especially after Lightning Bolt.

Conversely, a total absence of those songs and Of the Earth would give me additional hope.

They thought Sirens was Pink Floydesque.
It is...until Eddie sings.

Alternatively, it is, if you include A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
