A new band photo so they can stop using the Gigaton one. Maybe.

So much better. The Gigaton promo shot looked like a cover band playing the Noon slot at the state fair.

I like the new album aesthetic

it has a sense of humour but in the right way

Right...At least there's some sense of artistry to this...The Gigaton shots looked like my buddy's bar band who play weddings on the weekends

That breakdown after the first chorus is the fucking tits.

I feel like when they said "watt's my motivation" to the photographer, that was exactly it for all of them

Then again there was the few years were he did so, so much that every word had 15 syllables and we all begged him to stop. I'll take SNL skit evenflow mumbling over that any day of the week.

What is he singing here? (second half of first verse)

====================
Take the breath from my chest
Rip the thoughts from my mind
When (???) dark matter

"This is hen?" lol

Yeah....we're glad that seems to be a thing of the past...Don''t care if he sings with a mouthful of cheez-its, so long as we're done with the 57 vowels per syllable.

I hate that song but that's this Pearl Jam

I've loved that song since it was in a bootleg way back. I'd said when the clip came out that I got those vibes and I still feel that way.

I think I hear “And they called and I said that I want what I said and then I called out again”

The isolated vocals are pretty funny…. but it’s a musically interesting song.

Same.

A lot of this reminds me of that part in Superblood Wolfmoon where he so clearly flubs the “I can see you” line that it comes out sounding like “I’m a dinga,” but the energy is exactly right so fuck it why fix it

Man. Listened to this song for the 20th time or so tonight, the last 10 on my good headphones. This 52 year old, harried, stressed, struggling human being really fucking needed this.

It is said the antique philosopher Demosthenes would go to an isolated beach where he'd put pebbles in his mouth and practice his speeches while trying to drown out the waves with his voice.

Ed is like that.
Except with Cheez-its, but also waves.
