You can be both. Channel your inner George Costanza.

Have been well received by reviewers

Setting sun
Something special

Seemed liked mostly

Dark matter & Running we know.

Won’t tell & Upper hand are barely mentioned.

Stone describes Waiting for Stevie as a hit!!! Still not sure the logic of running being a single tbh.

We have both UH and WT snippets on metal door sessions. Upper hand being the slower, Pink Floyd like clip and Won’t Tell is the one with “she pulled a book up off the shelf” and “waiting for your message to come”. I think this are the lyrics at least.

I thought won't tell was the slow one interesting now I'm confused

Can someone find the metal door leak and move it up

I think most of us did until Stone’s recent interview where he said the lyric “waiting for your message” was in won’t tell.

You trusting Stone! He has to say Matt Cameron so he doesn't accidentally start thinking of Matt Lukin.
But more importantly where is the door leak

If this album takes Pearl Jam to a new kind of mainstream relevancy, I'm here for it, sounds fun. They're 60, every old rock band deserves their "comeback," even if it's fleeting and short lived.

Even though I like both songs, I'm still a bit worried about the 9 we haven't heard.

So much talk about relevance, who are we kidding ?
Even the band is smart enough to know it’s forever gone otherwise the music would not be so generic, it’s mostly money talks at this point, let’s not forget a new album release is first and foremost a business enterprise.

How on earth is this song gonna make 'em mainstream relevant?

Are we deaf here?

That makes sense.

I always liked that clip and assumed it was “Waiting For Stevie due to “WAITING for your message” lyric.

There are no real ballads confuses and excites me.

Confuses as wreckage has been described as sounding like Daughter/Sirens.

And Upper Hand sounding like (parachutes/all those yesterdays/parting ways)

Which are all ballads. I’m assuming both song make a shift at some point.


Interesting that Stone says the penultimate track “good To give” “rocks”.

And Waiting For Stevie sounds like Breathe/SOLAT is exciting.

The other nine must be stronger than the average of the two we have gotten so far.

Yes, I'm pretty sure (hopeful) that the other 9 are collectively stronger songs. Dark Matter is pretty damn great. I think I kind of underrated it at first, but it's a really solid song. Running is generally not the kind of song I look forward to, but it has grown on me. That chorus is a real earworm. The bridge was already a standout. Overall, I really like the two songs we have so far, but I also don't think they're the best the album has to offer, going by song descriptions.

From the metal door leak, I've been most looking forward to Got to Give. Maybe that part is not characteristic of the entire song, but it sure sounded good to me.

I’ve not really listened to the metal door leak. Felt like it wouldn’t help my appreciation of the album.
