joostone is right. They've repeatedly had recording session song titles long before things were made public.epilogue wrote:I'm gonna need some folks to vet this.joostone wrote:When it comes to rumors this site has always proven to be the most accurate in the past...

if the past 20 years equals "*nothing*" (kind of weird that you bookended that with **), then you're right.RockPusher wrote:Dude, you literally have *nothing* to go on to make that statement.

Fair. It’s akin to Stone saying each album they were about to release sounds “the hardest in a long time”.Kevin Davis wrote:"Sounds a lot like the bands first works" is pretty much what's been said about every new PJ album since Yield. It probably just means it's a rock song, but I wouldn't put much stock in it actually meaning anything.Fattie_Vedder wrote:Agreed. Front end of Vitalogy could mean something more akin to Not For You or Tremor Christ, which I think they could pull off, or something more like Spin The Black Circle, which would mean the return of squawky Ed. I absolutely love STBC, but i don’t think this current form of the band should be making songs like that anymore.tommy wrote:Hopefully that doesn't mean the return of squawky Ed
February 2024 will have it being about 4 years since Gigaton, roughly the same time that passed between Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. That 4 years between 2009 and 2013 felt like an eternity, but -- despite the fact that early COVID feels like ages ago -- Gigaton still feels like it just came out. Not sure if this reflects something about the albums, or just about the depressing passage of time as you get older.
What’s your SSN?tommy wrote:Yeah I think this album has a lot of potential. My birthday is in November and a good Pearl Jam single would be a fantastic gift.
