I was just sitting around thing about PRAMG, as one does, and am starting to wonder if it was actually born with Ed’s duet with Susan Sarandon on “Croon Spoon,” which was released well before Riot Act in 1999.

Roskilde (plus Eds divorce) broke them and it’s completely understandable.

Eddie is cool -> Divorce -> Eddie plays musics with Johnny Depp and financials
This doesn’t add up.

The obvious explanation: Ed was just the temporary beneficiary of Beth's reflected cool.

For sure. I've posited here for years that Beth (or her associates) were the lyricists for the first decade of PJ.

Just look at ed's ukelele album. Half the songs are about beth and half the songs are about jill. Guess which half sucks.

File this away in RM has officially run out of things to say about Pearl Jam. And THAT is why we need a new album.

there is merit to this observation, however, I would suggest that this may have been an indicator of the start of Ed's MG phase (not the entirety of the Pearl Jams) and that Ed served to poison the minds of every band member not long thereafter after he had bludgeoned them into uninspired submission through a thousand performances of the hawaiian boy toy love boat song

ALL
IMPORTANT NOTICE
With the release of the song Dance of the Clairvoyants, and the prospect of an upcoming album that *maybe* won't be a Pearl Jam "by the numbers" album, perhaps the end of the PRAMG is near.
Based on this one outstanding song, it seems as if the band may have remembered how to create something new for themselves, as opposed to for someone else.
I think this bodes well for the future.
My instinct is telling me that a new Post-Lightning Bolt era may be upon us. After the 5 years of touring some shows in support of that collection of tracks, and the CDM flop, we perhaps are in for a return to form re-birth of sorts.
Fingers crossed.
Can't wait to find out.

I also may have said this if they released pendulum as the lead single for LB, and that would have turned out to be very disappointing. So yeah, consider this just a placeholder. A service announcement, if you will.

Indirectly, they did, and it certainly set me up for disappointment.

Dotc is a good song but how is the song itself not a money grab?
