They went all Rod Steward on us.

Amiwrong?

Forget what you want(ed), do you still hate what you're hearing?

Do you ever find yourselves going to see films, not really finding it engaging, enjoyable, and are extremely indifferent when watching it. As you walk out, a friend asks what you thought of it. And your response is "Mmmm...it was okay...6/10"

Because it seems you're really trying to bury your heads in the sand right now. This is simply not acceptable stuff for a band of this calibre to be producing.

You're right.

B, lock up the forum, too many people are wrong.

yeah.
This is not the droid i'm looking for

The pre chorus is falling slowly. And this makes me happy at least.

Is the word "Sirens" in "Hear the Sireeeens" autotuned?

That depends on what you mean by "stay on board no matter what." You hate the last two records plus this one. I don't like the last two records, but seem to be liking this one. But to all intents and purposes, we're both still on board if we're posting over and over again about Pearl Jam and going to shows.

on board with the actual music, not on this board

I don't go to shows, I don't buy albums I don't like and I don't think this band is ever going to make music that sounds like something I like, so... I'm on the board, but not really on board

Just curious, what kind of music would you like them to be playing now?

I wouldn't cry if they were aging a bit more like Neil was at this point in his life...

They only ever aped Neil Young, just like they're still aping bands now.

This is what I've been saying for years.

'Pearl jam didn't meet my personal list of demands for their new songs so therefore they suck and this is the worst song ever'

Go hug your mom and get over it. Or at least try grow the fuck up a bit.

Yeah, but sometimes that movie is Independence Day, and as much as I know I should hate it, I just can't and actually love it. Same with this song. And no matter what you think of this song, PJ has put out far crappier stuff IMO.

This is what I thought PJ sounded like when I first heard Light Years.

Nowhere even close. This is stock MOR shit. Light Years has a great bridge and riffage. This is really, really embarrassing.

I'm not talking about *your* opinion many years on, or even mine. But when I first heard the entirety of Binaural, I was embarrassed about how bad and embarrassing it sounded. I thought my band were over. "Stock MOR shit" did go through my mind, in spite of the fact that RM were probably creaming over it.

Yeah, but in spite of the fact this argument has my full support, I wasn't liking what I was hearing quite enough. Now I am.

I would probably jump all over that kind of decision because frankly you shouldn't be basing your levels of patience on a prior track record. But not knowing you personally you're more than entitled to make your own mind up - what I think is irrelevant.

I've made my mind up now though. This band jumped the shark back in 2006 and they are now 3 records into their extremely steep decline. I will not pay £100 to see them play Sirens, The Fixer, Come Back, Johnny Guitar, WWS and Mind Your Manners whilst Insignificance, Can't Keep, Faithful, Greivance, You Are and other tracks of that ilk are forgotten relics of a bygone era.

I really wish the bastards toured Europe in 2003, when their live shows were at their peak.

Yeah except this doesn't make any sense.

I've seen multiple Pj shows in multiple tours and 2003 is without doubt bottom of the pile.
Just an FYI.

I'm pretty sure they pushed the droid I was looking for off a cliff, and replaced it with this digital chrome encased piece of shit that has a whole lot of stuff I don't need attatched to it like a can opener and a lawn mower but still does not work as well as my original droid.

What? Grow the fuck up? These guys plunged me into the middle of the 80's ffs, how much older do you want me to feel?

Perhaps but that was the point in time where all I was doing was listening to PJ and they could do no wrong.

I'd say it isn't but i want to hear the lossless version before i reach my conclusion. The compressed quality of this tracks can be misleading in this regard.

'This is going to alienate a lot of people...'
Fucking A!

This is probably where you faltered.
