AGREED

1: a happy fun pop song, something that PJ is terrible at.

I am not predicting that the song will be like this because of the title, but this is also my fear.

ever since "love boat captain" i refuse to judge pj songs on the title alone. in fact, i think the worse the title, the better the song at this point.

Thank you. Read my previous post.

I feel this song should be a up tempo uplifting track with a nice riff. Something similar to GTF. Anything less IMO is a bad sign

i never thought this band did a good job of picking singles, but im interested in what they release this time.

Well you guys managed to do it. I already don't want the new album to come out. It's prematurely ruined by ruminations about trepidation and song titles. So that took a day.

Also, I'll never quite understand someone making the active move of coming to a forum to talk about disinterest in the topic of said forum. You ladies doth protest too much.

I have no real problem with the title "Mind Your Manners" but I have a big problem with that use of "doth".

I'm not disinterested in Pearl Jam, I'm disinterested in current Pearl Jam until they give me a reason to be interested again. If that's a problem then you should probably just go to the pit.

Your interest: they have to fight to get it back again.

Agreed

And here I was thinking this was something the two of us could finally unite around. The knowing twist of a classic saying. Also, calling a group of men "ladies" is particularly winning. You should give me more credit theplatypus. Take off your batman mask and just breathe.

You can do better than this. Come on. I'll stay here until you get it.

I have no problem with the new song title. But I understand all the negativity too. And for the record, Worldwide Suicide is a much worse title.

I don't understand why everyone here has such a hard time believing/understanding me.

I don't understand how we have 8 pages of a thread based on a single song title.

I have zero issue with a lack of excitement regarding this announcement or with any form of trepidation or skepticism from the fan community at large. I just don't think the title is that bad. That's all I'm saying.

I have certain expectations for what I think this song will be (and separately what I want this song to be), but none of that is based on the title.

oh, you understand all right.

Expecting new Pearl Jam to be good is like the Dodgers expecting Josh Beckett to be a good pitcher again.

I woke up feeling better about this song title. Though I think just plain "Manners". Would have been my preference
