Keep paying forward, guys. I've linked a bunch of you and now need to go do some work so I can then hopefully find an hour to listen. Loving the early returns. Enjoy.

This thing does a great job of taking turns within songs that are nearly opposite to the direction you’d expect Pearl Jam to take.

It ends really EV solo heavy for me, which is kind of meh, but I really like Retrograde.

I'm taking in a passive listen at best right now, but this is soooo much better than the last two albums.

I don't want the album, I will wait until March 27th

All I want to know is...how does it compare to S/T, Backspacer, and Lightning Bolt? And how would it compare to somebody who thinks those above descend in quality, hates binaural/riot act, loves the first four albums, and thinks S/T is top five material along with them?
