I like that Jeff says he loves Waiting for Stevie, Got to Give and Setting Sun. No mention of Dark Matter or Something Special. That tells me we'll be hearing the best songs when the album drops (or leaks).

Kind of gives hope that it will be sans spritz, eh?
Well Stone wrote Supersonic, so anything is possible

I'm not hating anything about the clip. I don't expect a cute song about parenting to be an album standout. Probably just a break from the heaviness of the rest of the album. The Spin article described it as:

'There’s even a song about parenting, “Something Special,” which Vedder said at the Troubadour was co-written with touring member Josh Klinghoffer.'
Second single ballad is the PJ recipe. This one could hit too - middle aged dad singing country tinged maudlin song about being proud of his young adult daughters. Moms will dig it.
Yeah....
Are you suggesting that you don't think EV is going to live to be 118?
Middle age lasts til like 65. What’s Eddie, elderly?

Are you taking your wife or her boyfriend to the listening party this week?
No. I asked them if they wanted to go but they're busy that day.

He's so old he thinks Dick Van Dyke's hat from Mary Poppins is a fashion statement. Alex, back me up here.

The average life expectancy for a man is 73. Statistically, a 65 year-old man is 8 years away from death. Call it whatever you want but "middle-aged" certainly feels like a misnomer.

I mean, I get it what it means culturally to call someone "middle aged." However, that understanding seems to hinge upon a relatively liberal definition of the word "middle" -- one that is likely intentionally cushy, and based in some well-meaning denial.

The spontaneity of the recording process for this album is a promising sign. I know there are many different ways to get good results but I prefer them hashing it out together over everyone bringing in "their" songs.

The statistic is dated 2021 so maybe it has changed since then; I remember one point in the not too distant past when it was 78.

yeah, and im also loving the approach. Its clearly different from Gigaton, and while that album turned out the best album they did since RA to me, this sessions clearly reinforced how the band works and writes.
