Is Ed just creatively spent? I enjoyed his organ "Share the Light" from last year. I would love to hear more songs from that space.

It felt that way about a year ago. Now i believe them when they say they have no idea.
Seems to be in an awkward holding pattern.

Maybe they had a falling out in the studio or realized the new material needs to be better than Can't Deny Me.

Or likely just awaiting Ed to say "okay, lets get this done"

yeah that was an interesting direction. would love to hear some new ed songs composed on the organ. something to break it up so it's not into the wild: port of call new orleans.

in actuality, they're probably all in full Dad Mode right now, except Jeff. which explains his output and desire to get shit done.

That's a disservice to dads. I have a kid and still get shit done at work.

what song is this? was it an official release or just a live thing?

Just a live thing he did at a couple of solo shows last fall. Tagged with Fugazi's "I'm So Tired".

oh yeah i remember now. it's good, i just wish he wasn't wailing so much. Even his mellow songs are delivered with too much gusto these days, i really wish he'd remember how to pull some punches

He needs to embrace the breaks in his voice instead of avoiding them.

I don't know why anyone likes that organ thing. Is it just because it's on an organ? It's horrible

i was thinking this exact same thing yesterday. Given To Fly popped up on a random playlist, and even though it's a BIG song, ed's delivery of the verses really stood out to me. it's like he's lost his way in creating that restrained drama that i really love in those middle records.

When you’ve stared at beige for such a long, long time, the novel chaos of a light tan is truly exhausting

The only reason the band even pretends anymore is to keep their staff in a job. Do you guys really think Tim Beirman has a fall back option? Pearl Jam need to save the Tim Beirman types from themselves.

They do employ a corporation of employees. It’s true. They stop now, lots of people are out of a job.

Wishlist lyrics guy is right on this one.
