It's just all day pj's sirius radio channel. The channel is playing the new songs the whole day and the guys are introducing them (pre-recorded snippets, not live interviews) and talking about how they were composed, mainly who wrote the main parts of each song. I'm not in the car much today so haven't been able to listen much.

It’s very superficial and short. Not missing much really

this might be the first album since Yield where I really loved the opening and closing tracks.

In the SiriusXM lead in to RR, Stone describes his guitar part as “incessant banging”! :-)

Has anyone received their pre-ordered vinyl from Ten Club yet?

I'm waiting for that to listen to the whole thing, none of my other options compare to the turntable system in the living room.

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

How many of us can honestly say we stuck with a Pearl Jam message board all these years, through all the thick and thin? Doesn't it feel so good? And it is nice seeing so many of you enjoy it as well. I just... don't know what else to say or how to put it right now. I don't feel like me anymore.

what a head-fake to start

thought we were getting the gigaton intro into something hard

then they pull the change up and it's a spritzer out the gate

first song also has a Glam Bridge

second song also sucked and had to turn it off ten seconds after starting

don't think i can stomach any more of this POS today

production also sounded terrible

had to put on Blood Sugar Sex Magik right after to purge my brain of this filth and replenish anew

so far I have heard 3 (whole) songs from the album, all of which had a 'Glam Bridge': Dark Matter, Running, and whatever the first song name is

if Backspacer was the birth of the 'Spritzy Punker', Dark Matter is the bith of the 'Glam Bridge'

This is Ed's Bridge energy now:

Don't shoot the messenger, but Ten Club just asked all fans to kindly return the records, streaming music, mp3s, FLACs, tapes, CDs, etc. Album isn't coming out anymore.
Sorry.

I'm enjoying this more, but I will never get to "best since Yield."
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
