We ain't out of the woods yet. The bit where it cuts off is where it goes kinda 'up' for lack of a decent descriptor, you can hear it on the soundcheck, that would be the perfect place for ed to interject how infallible his love is or something.

It goes a lot less dark in the middle. Perfect for another chorus I hate.

No point in hoping it'll be different, it's the song. The only thing taken off is the vocals. I've got a feeling this is the first verse music, going into the chorus. But the guitars could get more obvious later on, who knows?

No but maybe this is an early demo version that Jeff brought in. Just like what Mike is playing in the Sirens vignette is totally different.

A band who have been through as much turbulence as Pearl Jam have to know what they are doing to stay on top. And while their contemporaries have died or split-up, or both, they have sat firmly at the top of the ‘biggest rock bands in the world’ list since the early nineties.

The band have always understood the importance of sounding like Pearl Jam. They have a sound, a feel, something that immediately identifies the music as being by them. They have developed within this but never strayed from it

They have that ‘big sound’ - massive sounding drums and bass, guitars up to eleven and Eddie Vedder’s exceptional vocals driving the whole thing forward.

I think it's got too many bells and whistles to be a demo. But if it's a demo version, it's even more likely to be worse on the final recording.

Can you die *and* split up?

So, it’s no surprise to say that their tenth studio effort Lightening Bolt is what you would expect from Pearl Jam. With trusted producer Brendan O’ Brien (famed for his big rock sound) at the helm it has the bombast to be considered up there with the band’s best.

I know this to be true but it still made me crack up.

It's not big grungy guitars but Ive pretty much lost all hope that they're ever gonna sound like that again. But if we're gonna get keyboards and shit this is the way to do it.

You have to want it, harm.

The next part's just as great:
