12th album rumors and speculation

[liebzz]

what they're doing is antiquated, not new

Antiquated is sending advance copies to media/industry to get a favorable review.

This is just straight weird.

[Ms Harmless]

it's not, at all

you really think PJ weren't doing industry parties back then?

the thing hasn't been released yet because PJ's admin couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, not because of... whatever this is

[spike]

back in the day, i assume the record company required them to hold listening parties. but they don't work for a record company anymore.

[DDWJMUVW]

it's weird.

also, select 10c fans were invited. man it doesn't get more elitist than that. wonder how they chose 'em.

truthfully, so many of the decisions regarding management, timing, fan interaction, etc are just massive head scratchers to me. gotta hope the music on this new record is good enough to bear it all.

[McParadigm]

I hope you weirdos all have to wait 6 months.

[tree_]

They're trying to build hype. It's not that hard to understand. You guys are all going nuts so it's obviously working.

listening party instead of sending out advanced copies seems like a prudent way for pearl jam to operate in the internet leak era

[Sgt. Crackpot]

I'm not sure we can blame Pearl Jam for the entire music industry using 4/4 for the majority of modern music. It just feels the most natural.

Anyway, Gigaton really still feels kind of new and we're on the eve of getting a new album from these guys already. Colour me impressed for a bunch of guys about to hit their 60s

they've got me agreeing with tree_, I hate this

[E.H. Ruddock]

they've got me agreeing with tree_, I hate this

they've got me agreeing with tree_, I hate this

[VinylGuy]

Ah yes, RM is discussing time signatures from some noise we heard through a metallic door

Chewie, we are home

time signatures are the only thing that are easy to determine from behind a closed metal door

Yeah very easy, that clean sound helped a lot.

But then comes a guy sneaking up at the back door with a smartphone
