Some more development and maybe letting it jam out a bit more and there'd be something.
That's where they'd be slaughtered though. In production.
They're demos. Not fully realised finished songs at all.

Can anyone hear Jeff on these?

Yes, and he sounds great. Are you listening to the same songs?

I meant writing. I think CC sounds like a Jeff tune. LIR, sounds more like Stones style

if the music is better, who cares?

Of The Earth, 2x4 and Navy bean are my objectives now.

Unfortunatly, I can't confirm that I'll get them.

Do you know anything about the possibility of them appearing on LB? Or if theyre just old tracks that hadn't got out yet?

The other I think might be Jeff.

Let me try that again because I'd rather be positive this morning:

Let It Ride....Wow!! THAT is the band that I love(d)! This shows that they can still write great stuff. Please let this song be on the new record.

To me, this says alot. "THAT is the band I love" I take as wanting to go backwards to a former time. To me, it's the same as when Ten fans were upset with No Code and they wanted the band to still be anthemic and dark. The band have been through this with alot of fans before, except much much worse.

Not at all. I don't want them to go backwards at all. I don't want anything to sound like a specific previous era. I just want them do things that are interesting. And since they haven't put out much that's interesting since 2004 I can see how my desire can be seen as retrospective yearning, but that's not it. What I hear in these songs is the natural progression (read: forward looking) of the band until they made a conscious decision to RAWK and become more overtly commercial.

As I write this Cold Confession is playing and all I'm really thinking is "man, this is a great song!!" not "This is a great song because it sounds like (insert favorite past moment here)."

(i can dream, can't i?)

if thats so

HEY PEARL JAM, THIS IS WHAT REAL PJ FANS WANT

Me too. (What is 'Anything In Between'? Haven't heard it.)

I just want to know why they released these. Is it part of the new album waiting game? That would be nice to know. Are these demos that O'Brien has 'fixed' for the new album?

They both feel like Stone to me. CC I could see being Jeff.
