Good call.

is that Josh's programmed drum loop for like 3 seconds at the start?

I bought the new digital issue of Kerrang. The review was short but very positive.

A few tidbits from it:

The surging riffs on Who Ever Said camouflages how unorthodox it's structure really is.

Alright has plinking kalimba notes at it's spine

By the time Seven O Clock comes to an end, it has confidently and deservedly established itself as one of the greatest songs Pearl Jam has ever written

Retrograde is a slow burning meditation on climate change

River Cross upholds the tradition of causing damage to the tear ducts with it's closing tracks.

Pretty much it, other small tidbits on each song, calls the album a triumph.

EDIT: I was beaten lol

Bring on the Pearl Floyd one! I think I'll like it the best or Whoever Said since it's supposed to have more turns than a motocross track. The 2 singles have already raised the bar high though.

daaamn that sounds like a monsteeeer
so cool

[Ms Harmless]

AND IT'S A RIFF, not a jangly set of chords

[Got Some]

Quick Escape sounds bad ass

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Ms Harmless]

it reminds me a little of "Crawl" by Kings of Leon but that's fine

[gardenparty]

now THAT'S a tasty clip!

[VinylGuy]

I thought Zeppelin

[stip]

made a thread - I thought Zeppelin, too

I think "Alright" was the one mentioned with the programmed drum but I guess it could be multiple songs.
