I'd like an angry and roughly produced effort from them along the lines of Living With War. All spit, no polish.

I listened to Undone like 5 times yesterday.

And that's why modern Pearl Jam is so disappointing to me.

Yeah no statements or activism that I can recall from PJ this cycle.

Bli$$fully standing pat.

They are going to have to rush this to get it out this year.

Which means first sessions full of 3 years worth of demos/song ideas then 3-6 months later another session which because the songs are fresher will take precedence.

Awesome. Can't wait

Yeah they have been storing up songs for 3 years but they need BOB to drag them into the studio

I think this is more of a risk with Ed's solo acoustic stuff -- Ed being passionate about domestic and world affairs has usually fared better for Pearl Jam's music than his present-day complacency, though admittedly a conservative president combined with Ed's current flip-flop philosopher "vibes" could produce a Frankenstein's monster unlike anything the Jamily has ever seen.

lol at the idea that Trump will be a conservative president.

I just meant...you know what I meant.

Love you, J.

You are probably right, but angry Ed seems to write better music than happy Ed.
