Does it even make sense that the next single would be released this far out from the album release?
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

I'd guess we'll get a 2nd single 2 weeks out from the album release. This will not be targetted at us (as we've either already bought it or will regardless), it's directed at the casual fan who then may pick up the album and/or try to see a show.

This single will appeal to the masses.

Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy appealed to the masses. All three albums are decent? Right?

Pretty much Sarge. I'm thinking the people who really dug Betterman, Last Kiss, Just Breathe, possibly Daughter.

I think the 2nd single will either be LB to really push the album, or SMB/FD to appeal to as many people as possible.

I'm tired of people slagging off on my lady Just Breathe. There ain't nothing wrong with Just Breathe. Only telephone tough guys slagging off on Just Breathe. You're not impressing anyone with this "eddie solo album" shit. Get your mouth shut and fall in line. She's beautiful. Respect.

Dude it's not like they are releasing Sex On Fire. What are they supposed to release as a single?? a song nobody likes but us diehard fans? Wouldn't that be beating the purpose of why anyone releases singles? You release a single to get radio play so people will want your album and come to your shows.

Don't you want to keep going to shows? If they stop being able to sell enough tickets, I think they would stop being a band. I hope the single they release is a huge hit. I think they need it. Then they can No Code the fuckers on the next album and it can all start over again.

"Just Breathe" is schmaltzy MOR lightweight stuff, but I like it.

No need to qualify greatness. You'll still be cool in the morning.

Sorry, but it is those things. It succeeds in spite of it, as a song and as an attempt to get Pearl Jam back on the radar of teen girls everywhere.

Beautiful is beautiful.

Your obsession with teen girls is your thing that I don't think we need to drag into yet another discussion.
