I’m in a very different place in my life than ever before and these songs are talking to men in a way no record has before. So many lyrics could be applied to my life and this makes me have such an overwhelming personal connection to this record

God I was drunk last night. But what an experience. New Album Syndrome is in residence but could be the best since Riot Act, maybe even Binaural. We’ll see. :)

I found this with Gigaton and the COVID lockdown. I remember hearing Alright and thinking Jeff almost knew what was coming.

Why are the Got To Give lyrics incomplete on the album liner notes and non existent on the lyric visualiser videos?

The one benefit of massive Northern Virginia traffic is I get to listen on the drive in this morning (Spotify). Excited based on everything I see here.

Fucking Spotify. If I hit play on the new Pearl Jam album, why in fuck's sake would I want it to play Neon Trees after Scared of Fear?

They're missing from the liner notes too. The usual lack of attention to detail from all associated with the band that drives my OCD nuts :evil:
they don't seem overly private either. Bizzare

I was thinking everything before that was total Ed improv, like Yellow Ledbetter?
It was probably something as stupid as someone accidentally deleting them when typesetting.

Not only did no one pick up on it in the liner notes - the mistake carried over to the visualisations :shake:

I was going to buy a CD for liner notes but if lyrics are missing is there any point? I shook my head when they were missing from GTG at the cinema

I got to say ,and I've thought about it alot. It isn't said lightly. Maybe part of me does want to admit it. This to my ears is the best most enjoyable album since Vitalogy. It is startling. I not in a million years could have thought this was possible. Yeah I was gonna like it's a Pearl Jam album, but this. This was not possible. The fact I feel this way and the record is still revealing it self ...

Oh shit, well apparently we do get a hi-res download from the Ten Club. Not sure why they didn't explain that to me when I sent them an angry email?

Spotify is sounding a shit ton better than the movie theater. Why do movie theaters sound so bad?

I'm a little happier than I was Tuesday night.

stip wrote:sounds like I need to wait on an answer but where should i go for the best sounding version of this (and their music generally). i have airpods for my phone and quality headphones for my computer but not speaker set up.

i ordered the josh evans mix, have spotify, and just bought the album on itunes before oneway could warn me atmos was subscription only.


I want to upgrade and there are too many choices! where should i purchase or subscribe!
I would say the hi-res version I just downloaded from the Ten Club is absolutely thr way to go until my CD gets here. CD quality is going to top any streaming platform
