It will probably leak on that day of the record store listening, some copies are bound to get out in the wild. If it leaks, I doubt I'll go to the movie theater thing.

Also, I don't need a be single, but would it kill then to give us some interviews, making of behind the scenes, teasers, etc. Fuck these guys

JFC Taylor Swift and Beyonce don't have this much buildup for an album. Just release it already.

No lie- the indie record store nearest me that is doing the 4/14 thing is called Watts Music.

Also, this kinda takes the wind outta my 4/16 theater experience sails.

Aside from Ed being at the UK listening party, and Ed & Jeff being at the US one, are we certain the band knows that they actually have an album coming out?
There's really not any identifiable proof.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Stone’s interview has been the best article about the album yet.

This is a really weird comment. They've all talked about it.

The part of this recommendation that has me listening to all of those Miles records is great (actually just took a spin through Nefertiti over the weekend). The part that has me binging them immediately prior to Dark Matter, such that the music that is freshest in my mind upon listening to DM for the first time is more or less my favorite music by anyone ever, makes me doubt DM’s chances. Maybe Miles through the 17th and a full day of Greta Van Fleet or something on the 18th.

I feel like that interview is some of the best Pearl Jam literature in several years.

:haha: Need that sonic palette cleanser on the eighteenth! Very little else could compare.

Tongue was planted firmly in cheek with my comment, as I've found the promotion around the album generally shiteous, but, yes, Anders, that Stone interview was the best PJ-related article/non-stip reading material I've come across in ages.
