Let's Actually Listen to the Album: Pearl Jam

[Thejambi]

I call bullshit that any of you actually have been listening to S/T.

[harmless]

I hope we are witnessing the birth of the next RM meme...

"Some memes take off faster than others. It's like this song I wrote, called Sirens. Have you heard it?"

"Yeah, I have."

"Oh, really? What did you think of it?"

"Was this going to be an analogy or..."

"The funny thing about analogies is, take this hit song I wrote called Sirens for instance, should we listen to it before I continue?"

Mike is gonna try the "Johnny Appleseed" approach to spreading awareness of his smash hit Sirens this fall...

Just to the right of Mike's head, in the train window... is that a ghost dog?

Panda.

You saw it too? It's definitely a bulky cartoon mammal of some kind.

I may need to be held tonight.

I could probably arrange that but I don't know what you look like, so have some doubts.

A human bean. Little more bean than hu.

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY WE EVEN HAVE THESE THREADS!

I know I'm new and all excited to be apart of this forum but I actually listened to s/t!!!

It would be easier to change the title than to forever live in regret over the contents of the thread.

All of these are great, but I started laughing out loud at the one where he unplugs the drip. I'd seen the bakery / flour one before but it's always hilarious. And the way he kicks out that shopping cart... yeah, gold. Gold I tell thee.

I had this playing on my way into work this morning.
Tracks 1-7 are fantastic... one of the my favourite sequences on any album.

Totally agree. This album is definitely top 4 for me, depending on my mood.

Regarding 1-7 tracks opening an album, only Yield or Vs. can compete with it, for me.

LOVE this album.

I don't understand what the production issues are that people allude to.

Tracks 1-7 is the best run on any album IMO.

I agree on the produciton as well - it's a loud album but it fits.

You're always saying that there's something wrong
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along

[Blenheim Augustine]

A few production issues from the top of my head - I'll let's actually listen later.
Shitty bass
Brick-walled
Overly processed
Low-level guitars
Lack of separation

[Heathen]

Yeah that's as far as I would make it too.

[slugox]

OK, I'm aware of several of those issues. I guess what it comes down to is, it doesn't bother me. I crank it up at home, in my car, on my headphones when I run. Works for me every time.

Let me say just once that (repeats the following line on and off for rest of song)

[EJ]

Let's actually attempt to listen to this album past the 6th song.
