Great review.

it feels like a real potential gift that PJ might be finally taking ideas from middle albums again, and I'm so much happier about Ed going "Into The Wild" than "Backspacer"

sounds like we're in for Avocado Code.

Damn it, beaten to it again!

Update:

"Who Ever Said" - ?
"Superblood Wolfmoon" - Eddie
"Dance of the Clairvoyants" - Everyone
"Quick Escape" - Jeff
"Alright" - Jeff
"Seven O'Clock" - ?
"Never Destination" - ?
"Take the Long Way" - Matt
"Buckle Up" - Stone
"Comes Then Goes" - Eddie
"Retrograde" - Mike
"River Cross" - Eddie

The initial Retrograde thoughts had me worried but damn, these ones today have me hyped.

Alternating between classic guitar riffage, sputtering ’80s-style new wave, epic layers of vocal collage, and awkward fusions of the three, the record tries to be all things to all people, a crowd-pleasing delivery of rock ’n’ roll interwoven with art-damaged aspirations of something more, akin at times to the group’s landmark Vitalogy. It sometimes fails, but longtime Pearl Jam fans know better than to expect a steady consistency of quality across an entire album.

My body is ready.

Is it usual for records to be reviewed almost 3 weeks before they come out? The reviews for Lightning Bolt mostly came out when the record was released.

You had me at "Epic layers of vocal collage"

Have they cracked a "B" rating yet though?
