The duet with his dad is moving. Hard not to feel this one.

does anyone know if any of these songs were considered for gigaton?

This maybe Eddie's best work this century.

Nothing I've heard makes me rank his work here higher than Binaural, Riot Act, Gigaton, or even S/T.

Definitely better than riot Gigaton lighting bolt. S/t Backspacer maybe as good Binaural probably better

I am absolutely not mad about this album, I like it a lot

it feels like a better Backspacer than Backspacer, and I mean that as a compliment; and there are some truly kickass heavier moments too

I'm only halfway through, but this.

Still not loving that really fuzzy, compressed guitar tone that's on a couple of the "heavy" songs.

I love all of that, I had a big grin on my face

Ms Harmless · Post by **Ms Harmless** » Thu February 10, 2022 7:32 pm

the heavy songs really bode well for future Pearl Jam, imhfo

I'm thrilled with 4 stars from Rolling Stone

No, they were written with Watt and these guys

The good: Ed hits notes he hasn't tried to hit in the studio in a long time ... and sounds good; some songs have a 98-03 vibe/quality; there is even a Vedder-Vitalogy feel to parts of some songs (too bad it's not full songs); Chad Smith; song-writing, especially Invinsible, On my way, and Dark, but a few others too.

Overall, 2-4 of these songs will be missed on the next pj record. Too little effort was put into the lyrics of some of these. I'd put the record somewhere around Binaural and Riot Act, but I don't rank those two in pj's top 5 for what it's worth.

I'm really impressed by how many of you are participating in the prank, and really pretending that this has leaked
