to each his own

If we're talking big rock hits that actually get played on the radio, then yeah, I stand by my statement.

Just a few years back Eddie told a story about how he was at a bar the other night with Bono. He said Bono told him that U2 songs are like racehorses. They feed them, groom them and train them, and when they release them, they want them to win the race! Eddie said he told him Pearl Jam songs are like horses too. They feed them, groom them, take care of them and then they release them in a field to run free.

Ed isn't competing for hits.


But sorry for turning this into a PJ vs. KOL & U2 thing. Wasn't my intention. I like this album and think it's clearly their best since Because of the Times.

Comeback Story is beautiful...but those strings are too much.

Yes they are but no they're not.

They played "Temple" on Jimmy Fallon last night.

These guys do sentimental much better than PJ.

So these guys have definitely figured out their formula of choice. One guitar on delay. One drenched in reverb. 4/4 drums, heavy on ghosting. Bass does whatever, although the tone is okay. Vocals are dialled in.
It sounds like shit.

I haven't listened to this in a while.

you're wrong

Probably. I do like it.

I haven't listened to it yet. Perhaps today will be the day.

It's very solid if not exactly memorable or groundbreaking.

Still would say Because of the Times is their best.

1-8 = flawless

What did you just say? N... no. No!
