Nope, and I thought they might tease something today with their vague twitter post.

Unless those are lyrics or some shit.

Mind Your Manners- felt like forced populist punk rock
The Fixer- PJ’s take on a pop song.
WWS- their first rock pop song attempt.
I Am Mine- perhaps their best lead single and when you figure in that it still gets performed live...
NAIS- solid Pink Floyd-esque jam that was deemed a little weird when it was released.
Given To Fly- timeless.
Who You Are- a deep cut and always great to experience live
STBC/Not For You- one of these two is a PJ classic.
Go/Daughter- classics.
Alive- still alive after all these years.

Not a bad take on the past singles. What other song would you describe as buoyant?

Float On-Modest Mouse

Pearl Jam is still a relevant band with a fanbase community that (at times) supersedes new music. Think about the Stones in 89 (roughly the same age as PJ is now). Now, find a diehard Stones fan and ask them to name 2 or 3 songs from that album or what songs they want to hear live. Are any of those cuts from Steel Wheels? Pearl Jam is still relevant. The Stones were clawing back to notoriety status in the face of all else.

PJ will take the occasional left turn and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I wouldn’t want to be fully vested in a band that mails it in and cookie cuts their sound to sound like yesterday’s carbon copy. As a fan of music, I appreciate when bands do something different. PJ, while loyal to their fanbase, isn’t going to subject their art for the status quo. We’re all pretty lucky to have a band that is still pushing the colors to creative boundaries we aren’t privy too. Got Some was the first track performed from Backspacer...

Also, buoyant rhymes with clairvoyant. Think of it in terms of water.

Please don't ever mention the Stones in comparison to Pearl Jam

If The Pit is the considered the uninformed masses of PJ music, then this board should be the more critical thought and the informed, intelligent counterpoint to the uninformed.

I don’t trust verbs or wishlists either.

My boys get iller than Illinois...and it’s irrelevant you have 20k posts.

This shit has no place on RM.

I’d welcome your aversion to the comparison. Are you referring to the comparison to their age from 1989 to 2020? The above wasn’t a comparison in terms of either band’s music so when you have quality to back up what it is you are attempting to infer or state, then you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise, it’s noise for the sake of not a lot.

Is the BRY board still operational? Now, THAT was the best PJ message board back in the day. Like you (perhaps), fans didn’t get much out of The Pit but if you wanted a productive debate, then BRY was the destination. RM was 2nd. Always #2.

Welcome to RM, Beer.

I really hope he hasn’t rhymed the two, there is not a metre, an inflection or elegant phrasing that can make that not sound clunky

Can you tell us more about the actual track Beer?

I agree with you though, I’d rather a questionably successful experiment than some of the more recent dross

we are in Steel Wheels territory nowadays people.

let me guess:



Oceans
Wash
Gremmie Out of Control
Push Me, Pull Me
Love Boat Captain
Big Wave
Amongst The Waves

So has anyone actually heard this Dance of The Ventriloquists song yet?
