12th album rumors and speculation

"I guess if I had to compare it with our previous albums, it's kind of like Gigaton meets Lightning Bolt with a dash of the self-titled record."

Poor Jeff’s had DOTC on repeat for two years hoping to recreate the magic.

"...and a large dollop of Backspacer."

Dollop is a word you just don't hear enough anymore

Does anyone have a genuine translation of the Pearljamonline Italian site? I clicked on the link and was asked 'accetta cookie' or 'disabilita cookie' and that just confused the hell out of me so I scarpered.

Interviewed on the Trail 1033 radio podcast about the new Clinton Skate Park Project opening this year, Jeff Ament said something about Pearl Jam’s new album that might leave some fans unhappy.

Contrary to what Stone Gossard reported just a few days ago (“Pearl Jam’s new album is getting close to the finish line”), the bassist instead reported that according to him it was premature for Gossard to go so far.

“I’m glad Stone is excited for it, but I’m still not sure” revealed the bassist. According to Jeff Ament at the moment Pearl Jam are only “half” of the new album and although the material created so far is quite good, he is not yet sure about the songs that will become part of their twelfth studio album, which the bassist has also been working on in recent weeks by going to producer Andrew Watt’s Los Angeles studios.

“When we complete the new album, it will be about six or seven months before it can come out” Ament reported, adding that it will not be released until the summer or fall of 2024.

You guys should know by now that you can't trust anything that lecherouslittlestump posts.

True.

Oof.

Agreed.

“I’m glad Stone is excited for it, but I’m still not sure” revealed the bassist.

Oof.

i think this is about the progress of the record, not the quality/potential.

That's how I read it too.

What does Jeff know?! He found out about No Code when he walked past Easy Street Records and saw it on the shelf.

That made me laugh

This was good. Email it to Jeff.

Thank you

That SPIN interview was posted 10 days ago, but was recorded a bit earlier. Stone talks about Painted Shield and their 3rd record. He then talks some about his activism and ends the video talking about PJ. Once again he sounds very enthusiastic about the new album. 'It's gonna be a rocker'

[wease]

Sounds like Stone would like to tour more.

[elliseamos]

Stone lost a lot of that FTX money, guys.

I have no hope for this band to ever make good music again. If this next one sounds anything like Ed’s solo album I’ll hate it. Ed needs to stop being a creative dictator and they all need to get into the studio together for fucks sake.

[tragabigzanda]

I feel like Stone’s whole “Ed is my muse” thing is something that came out of his final therapy session. Like his shrink threw that out there and he was like “that’s it! I’m cured! Thanks doc, I think we’re done here.” And he’s been living the lie ever since.
