This will be a return to form, yet slammed in RM circles. No wonder these guys don't put out much product anymore.

Just got word from a trusted source that this is going to be a mishmash of different takes on "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

General consensus here seems to be that No Code to Riot Act era albums were boring plodding pretentious messes, so I hope they continue to bring the rock in album 11 like they did with ST-LB.

If I may use a Star Wars analogy:

Original trilogy (highly regarded masterpieces seen as benchmarks of the genre): Ten - Vitalogy
Prequel trilogy (boring garbage that only hardcore fans on niche internet boards enjoy): No Code - Riot Act
Sequel trilogy (a return to form): ST - LB (and onwards??)

Binaural is the Jar Jar Binks of Pearl Jam

kill me

hiatus

but i love binaural.....now i don't know WHAT to think

All kidding aside, has there been any indication that they've started working on a new record? I don't recall any reports or anything that they've been in the studio, but I could have missed something.

Jeff has twitter?

No -JA

i don't mind waiting a bit for the next one, just as long is it's a "return to form".

What exactly is PJ's "form"?

From Pitchfork's Lightning Bolt review:

Pearl Jam on record have essentially been reduced to the rock ‘n’ roll version of wearing sweatpants: they’ve given up trying to impress anyone, so they may as well be comfortable.

Matt Cameron: "Right now, our only plan is to get together and write new songs"

I would be on board with no touring this year and them getting together to write later this year.

definitely. no more tours until the next album.

maybe some time away from the road will get them off of this "let's write songs that are geared for the arena rock show" kick they've been on
