I stupidly pre-ordered this. At this stage it just feels like keeping the collection complete. I hope that I'm pleasantly surprised

All indications is that there's nothing special here.

There wasn't a "10 Club Edition" of Lightning Bolt, and that was only CD.

I've started a thread to compile news and articles about the album. If people could PM me (or another mod) links as they discover them I'll archive them there.

Yeah - I have a couple of those. But nothing special on them - the album still sucks

While I love synths and listen to synths stuff all the time, Pearl Jam and synths go together like oil and water and sounds like a terrible idea. Didn't they already try that with backspacer?
