What if this album is the yin to BS's yang? The dark side to its light side?

We have tracks which are self-referential ("Swallowed Whole") and stylistically, it seems to me that tracks of a similar style are in the same place on the album.

If "Unthought Known" was track 7, LB being there would continue to make perfect sense.
that would mean we got our conceptual double album everyone was (s)creaming for. And that would piss a lot of people off.
You guys are really reaching. Double concept album w/Backspacer ?!? Hahahaha

We have no idea what the track order will be...

And the art spelling out Pearl Jam backwards ?!? Hahaha

what in fuck's holy name would lead you to believe this album will be anything other than a mix of slow, midtempo, and fast songs alternately celebrating how awesome it is to be married to a supermodel and bitching about war/religion/whitepeople?

I want this album to have the least to do with backspacer as humanly possible.

To begin with, I didn't say anything about the art spelling Pearl Jam backwards. But if that's going to happen, it'll be because the tracklist is being revealed in reverse order. So of course, if it's Pearl Jam at all, it'll be Pearl Jam backwards. Based on that, you have no idea whether my theory is right or not so don't patronise me.

It's already not that, thanks to "Swallowed Whole".

I have absolutely no idea. You've certainly covered all bases in this post. I guess I should review my ideas further.
