Could this be Cold Confession?
I hear the same notes for some reason.

I think so

Egads!

You could be onto something there. Or just wishing thinking.

It's probably wishful thinking.

But if so, you heard it here first:

Perhaps to be able to compare to and tear down the re-recorded versions that will feature on Lightning Bolt?

These two new songs are incredible.

LOVE it.
This is how great songs sound when they don't get brickwalled.
You can really turn up the volume and don't get ear fatigue.
I can't remember the last time a new Pearl Jam song was released with such a good dynamic range.

Agreed man. This was what was missing from, and ruined the last 2 albums. I'm hoping the new album will be done the same way as these tracks.

It won't.

They're chock full of dynamic rangey goodness because they're demos and haven't been properly mastered yet. Nearly all the demos we've heard to date are similar.

Mastering is such a crock of shit these days.

I'm late to the party and haven't even tried to read through the other 75 pages of this thread. So, forgive me if I'm walking well worn ground here. But here are a couple of early impressions:

Cold Confession: Sounds like a hybrid of Hard to Imagine and Inside Job to me. One of those songs is a top tier, the other a bottom tier. This one fits nicely between them and has big hands for climbing. Ed's voice sounds shot, but in a great way. Most interestingly to me, Ed is "heee-heeee" ing all over the place toward the end. That's a post ITW thing, right? He doesn't hee-hee before that. Which leads me to believe this is newer that S/T.

Let it Ride: This sounds a whole lot like Of The Earth to me. I'm not a musician so it's hard for me to explain what I'm hearing. But musically, when this song starts, I hear a reworked OTE. Even the vocal melody has some similarities. These lyrics (the ones I can make out so far) are LEAGUES better than those of OTE. This is a nice song that builds well, I think. And I love the last third of the song.... LOVE IT.

There you go. Some thoughts. Sorry if you guys have been over all of this too many times already.

That hee hee stuff started on the 03 tour I think.

I think you are right.
I have no reason to believe these aren't pre/ST songs. The vocals of CC are quite reminiscent of Inside Job and Let it Ride sounds very much like a RA performance. I didn't make an Of the Earth connection myself. Ill have to listen again.

Isn't there some hee heeing in 1/2 full at the end? That's what that reminds me of.

Despite your self stated lack of musician's knowledge, your use of words and descriptive writing is quite entertaining. I'd like to nominate you as an RM resident music reviewer.
