I remember about worrying about the other songs because it said it was from a forthcoming album, but what if that album wasn't Gigaton?

Oh you’re damn right it was.

So the band never publicly acknowledged the reaction to this song, did they.

They stopped playing it, seems the most acknowledgment it deserves

I still think they should release it and title it “Forthcoming: a Mulligan”

I'm convinced this was the case.

The press release for Can't Deny Me also confirms that they were working with producer Brendan O'Brien at the time for that forthcoming album. I believe Retrograde was pulled out of those sessions as well.

yes and everyone universally despised the song, was very depressed by what it implied about the quality of the forthcoming album, assumed PJ had nothing left to say musically - you know it's bad when even on the pearljam.com official forum people hated it - that - is how bad it was

so then PJ's people got wind and just pretended like it never existed

wisest move they ever made tbh
