So how is this club handling the single? Will you guys listen to officially released material or is it a total blackout until the album is in your hands?

I'll happily listen to the official single. Technically it's not a leak then.

I'll be all over this thing if they actually release anything tomorrow - praising it for the first couple of hours as a return to form, best thing in 10 years etc.... before descending into ripping it to shreds mocking anyone who tries to expose any merits in the song.

Its gonna get a lot of hate no matter how good it is, but that will balance out the ones like me who will think its great no matter if its bad or not, at least at first. i hope we get to hear something tomorrow

I want an album that the critics and mainstream will hate...For Pearl Jam, this will be a true return to form.

agree, if they can pull that off, I'd even consider listening to them again.

Return to form for me would be back to Ten/VS....which the mainstream loves. But I love all their albums so im just excited to hear the next step.

I think the best we can hope for is No Code/Yield era. But, who knows they may create another album that creates a new golden era, and one that we pine for a 'return to' for many years/albums after that.

I believe that was their aim for Backspacer, but I feel they missed the mark by about a mile.

A No Code or Binaural type turn on this album would be a good one. I want something that aims higher and pushes the boundaries.

Mainstream radio is nothing to aim for these days...it's a graveyard of mediocrity.
