I really enjoy 4 of the songs released or leaked so far. I imagine they'll bounce between 3 and 4 stars for me.
I hate SW and LB, though. Remember in Seinfeld how Jerry dated all of those beautiful women, but there was always something he couldn't get past? Same deal.
In SW, I cannot get past duh, duh, drown, drown, drown.
Ch, ch, christ.
In LB, it's, "Have you got yourself some sand?" This is right up there with, "I never knew soap made you taller."
At some point, there should be a tourney for shittiest Pearl Jam. Categories could be lyrics, name drops or famous associations, career gaffes, live show, opening band, official merchandise, song, etc. Most posters on this board have been hate fucking this band for a decade. It could be fun.

"Swallowed Whole" is, by far, the best song of the bunch for me. Yesterday I actually sought it out because I wanted to listen to it... a first for me with this album, most of which I've listened to for the sole purpose of RM discussion.

And there it is...
"People say, 'how does having kids change your writing? Do you see the world through their eyes?' No – you just become a faster songwriter… In the old days, you'd be like, 'Oh I'm gonna work on this song for a few days. I'm just gonna procrastinate me a few lyrics... Now it's like, “OK, they're down [for] an hour… OK, one hour - bam. You're not really allowed that mad-scientist-in-the-isolated- laboratory kind of insanity, which I used to really enjoy

I like Ed's comparison of songwriting and stem cell research (?!?)

He's graduated from waves maybe? Or the interviewer was a surfer so he thought he'd zig?

I thought it was great how Jeff took at shot at Ed while answering one of Ed's heroes questions.

For me, SW sucks for different reasons. It's the constant mispronunciations in that horrible chorus that bother me.
