Absolutely I am. I have no intention of buying a physical copy of this record.

So just stream it when it drops?

Yep or download a leak hopefully sooner!

Pretty much every outlet said those things about No Code, Yield or Riot Act.

I'm sure Guerrilla Candy is a good review, but I can't get his page to come up. Why don't they give us an advanced copy. Stip would write an amazing review. We'd totally kiss their ass.

I seem to recall Binaural not getting outstanding reviews.

Please be like Binaural.

This was an interesting reading on all of those reviews, B.

Sterogum gave it a B I think, and Rolling Stone gave 4 stars.

I wasn’t expecting an A, personally, so these good reviews are what I was hoping for.

No. No I do not. Nor do I read the threads in Red Mosquito.

most of the world thinks they started being Pearl Jam again from Avocado through to Backspacer

So you're excited about it? And looking forward to some shitty leak to listen to on your phone? Instead of listening to the thing properly at any point?

yeah Binaural was hated. I remember Rolling Stone calling it a very shy album from a band that once mattered....it was so fucking funny.

hell yes! and them when I hear a good clean copy i’ll better appreciate it

I'm actually ok with the last few albums, they are definitely the bottom end of the catalogue, but I wasn't completely turned off by them.

Reading these reviews, I'm cautiously optimistic there is at least more depth on Gigaton. Hell, it even seems like they put forth some effort rather than PJ by the numbers.

Trying not to be too stoked, even though for me DotC is the best thing they've done in over 15 years.
