are we mad at Ed for "ruling the roost", or are we mad at the rest of the band for not quitting despite his cruel dictatorship? at some point we have to admit that this is Pearl Jam, they are all loaded, and no one is forcing them to do anything

Trag, you can record an album in a weekend; you know this
you think Wotman and Gonorhea took 2-3 months to produce this?

A simple search shows Jeff said that about the album back in June 2023. So more than a few months ago.

Stock, Aitken, & Waterman would've knocked this album out in a weekend

I wouldn't have guessed that Trag would be the RMer to start writing Pearl Jam fan fiction.

a) Dark Matter the song has hallmarks of a certain style of production that you don't like, but you are going way the hell off on how unlistenable it is. You don't like it. Fine. You do you.tragabigzanda wrote:And hey maybe I’m wrong — maybe they all love how it sounds! Some of you seem to so whatever. Still sounds like pure dogshit to me.
b) Literally every other bit of sound we've had from this album is compromised, whether it's the metal door, the fan noise on Something Special, or the weird artifacts and general crappy resolution of Running. Other than Dark Matter the song, we know very little about how this album sounds.

That's what I was going to say. I think Jeff was saying that months before Ed said at one of the shows last fall that the record was done.scrub12 wrote:A simple search shows Jeff said that about the album back in June 2023. So more than a few months ago.
