I want a leak so I don't cave and buy tickets for the listen in the dark because I know if I do that and then it leaks I will be pissed.Strat wrote:I dont want a leak. I wont be able to say no. So i rather it just not leak.
This has been my dilemma. I’ve held off bc I’m assuming a leak and then what? Im gonna pay $30 to go and listen to the record I’ve prob already heard a dozen times or more played twice in a theater?

I haven't gotten this vibe from anything I've read.RockPusher wrote:Sounds like a potential Avocado situation. On the other hand, this also feels like speculation, considering that we've heard/read the comments by the band and I don't feel they are in any way antagonistic toward what they did on Gigaton.bluestate wrote:"While not exactly a complete apology for Gigaton, the comments the band have made thus far have an implicit undertone: If you didn’t like reflective aging Pearl Jam, don’t worry, we turned the guitars back up." Oh geez, don't say it ain't so. My worst nightmare.

To sum up Sterogum. Pearl Jam is a old band who made sum great records many years ago. They haven't mattered for decades. This was a good attempt at rekindling something. It soldered even though they used wet wood and forgot the white gas. If you are a die hard fan you'll enjoy, because well your a die hard fan. If your not move on nothing to hear here.Tj wrote:Also Trag says it probably stinks. Strat says it Sticks after smelling it a few weeks.
That sounds like a pretty honest assessment to me. They haven't been culturally relevant, in a significant way, for twenty-five years. That's not to say they're incapable of a fantastic late-career highlight, but, let's be honest; the only fans who care about new music are the die-hard fans. Everyone else goes to the shows, at this point, to nostalgically re-live their first bong hit or the backseat they first got fingered/blown in. Takes nothing away from the achievement of the record itself. There's nothing egregiously offensive in that take, from where I'm sitting. It is what it is.Tj wrote:To sum up Sterogum.
