i'm not a RA advocate but i see some positive kinship between SW and the best parts of RA. LB is a good upgrade on what Ed's been trying to do since LBC. i'm happy with what i'm hearing so far.

It's good to see that everyone is generally happy with these 4 songs. It seems like everyone thinks they are at least solid tracks at worse to very good at best. That makes me excited to hear more.

Important info to add: my PJ hating wife kinda likes these because Eddie isn't screaming too much. SW especially. But as always she is completely bothered that she can't understand what he is singing...

I don't buy "My wife likes this" as a reason to dislike anything, by the way.

My wife would love (not like) Pearl Jam if it wasn't for the over-the-top, psychotic fanboys. She likes the music.

I think everyone's just a little amazed that Mike said something accurate about the album.

He was certainly taken aback when that DJ kept praising Future Days...

The vocal melody for Getaway is a gem. I think its one of his best to date. After 20+ years of making music...wow.

Mike has surprised me with these songs. some of the best bits there are when he's leading the band.
