New Moon does it for me. If PJ made a record like that I’d keel over.

Same. Even if it is bad, at least they would be trying stuff.
Whether it's good or bad, we only have so much more music from these guys, and no matter how good it is, if it is familiar it is likely to feel like a shadow of your favorite version of whatever it is. That can still work (Collapse into now was a perfectly fun final album for REM, and most of those songs had clear antecedents), but something new is more likely to stand on its own as an independent thing, and maybe recontextualize what we've had for so long. So I'm hoping for something relatively different.

This will be interesting as this seems to be reasonably akin to a self-produced album, so we'll get a sense of what, circa 2019, Pearl Jam thinks Pearl Jam is, as opposed to what BoB thinks Pearl Jam is
Please stay.

I feel bad I wasn't here for Rise of Skywalker
Still haven’t lost your eloquence. Just make sure we get A Guided Tour of Gigaton: The Weighting Drove Me Mad.

maybe the 28 page booklet (or is it 40 pages) is the rationale behind the $6 shipping charge for the CD

Are you saying "You're Fired! (The President)" isn't going to be an indecipherable metaphor?
