No clue where to begin after first listen. Literally just ended. Not sure if this is the album that I had, until just now, been unaware that I've wanted them to make, or, if I'm overly-accepting of the record which they feel they needed to make, but, head is spinning with vague notions and fleeting impressions. Need time to coalesce thoughts

How is your first impression compared to S/T, Backspacer and Lightning Bolt?

really wish Obey the Law Of The Heart was on this
basically if Martin Luther King Jr were alive and made a film and that film had a soundtrack it would be OTLOTH
but for some reason Pearl Jam doesn’t wish to celebrate that movement
Gigaton was their opportunity to make that statement
and they chose to sit quietly on the sidelines and let injustice happen
sad

So hard for me to talk about right now without going on dozens of small detours which would lack any coherence, but, the initial energy hitting me feels like this album exists somewhere between No Code & Binaural in a pocket universe where the band never streamlined with Yield.Anders wrote:How is your first impression compared to S/T, Backspacer and Lightning Bolt?

i have been promoting the expectation of a return to form for 6 years
you savages never wanted to give these guys a chance
but i stuck with them knowing that an Opus was coming
ESPECIALLY after Can’t Deny Me
you all ran for the hills
I stayed right here on the battlefield, cowbell in hand
and guess who regretted it now you’ll cowards

there are some skippers late but I am not compelled to just seek out the 2 tracks that are good and kill the rest
