Ed has become my least favorite component of the band.

I'm pretty confident that it'll be out in the next nine months, but not in the next three like it seemed might be the case a week or two ago.

I called late November a while back. I'm sticking with that.

That seems to be most realistic expectation. November seems likely. I suppose October is possible, but I think September is too soon at this point. If it's not out in November I could see it not being out until February.

It'll come out when it comes out. I've seen nothing so far that excites or disappoints me about this thing. My excitement level is the same today as it was three months ago, as it was three years ago, as it was a few days after Backspacer came out.

What do you consider proper?

Minds manners?

If Mind Your Manners is real, and being released next month, that would bode well for the album being coming sooner rather than later. It could be an ed track for the movie, but the movie's coming out in november so it'd be a little soon. An ed solo album seems unlikely considering they've got a (presumably) finished pj album lyring around.

It's not an album I'll still care about in another 9 months, unfortunately.

Why is that?

Not a soundtrack and not a Ukulele album. I like both of those albums, but I would really like to see Ed do a full-fledged solo album.

So just a more traditional rock album?

I'd probably explode if Jack and Ed did an entire album together, again. Put that at the very top of my "All Things Pearl Jam" wishlist.

It's not even about the content so much. More stuff like Into the wild would be ideal, really. Just more fleshed out.

I just kinda feel like Pearl Jam is holding each of the members of Pearl Jam back at the moment.

I guess I just don't understand what keeps Into the Wild and Ukulele Songs from being proper albums. I'm just trying to pin down exactly what you mean.

Into the Wild, I sort of understand, given that it's music written for and inspired by a film. The songs are shorter by necessity, but I wouldn't say they aren't fully realized songs.

I guess Ukulele songs just seems a bit like a novelty album to me. On Into the Wild, it's basically what you said - there's a great EP in there, but not a full album.

As I said, I like both of them, but I'd be interested to see what Vedder would put out without the constraint of writing for a movie soundtrack/writing everything on a Uke.
