it's called edging

Everyone else won’t unless it is attached to some other trend. That’s how music works now. TikTok, commercials, big podcasts not Spin or any other old media outlet. When was the last time you listened to a song or album because of old media?
pearl jam are not promotion heavy but they havent been anti publicity in decades (since yield). you’d like people to know about what you’re doing but there are limits to how much work you’ll put into that awareness

and there target audience are still non hardcore gen xers who need to be reminded that this exists, and this is how things seep into people’s consciousness

This period of time is a ton of fun. I'm fine waiting but I have no idea why they didn't just drop a single or at least an email announcing the new album to coincide with that party.

What if they pull a WuTang and never release it? Didn’t that guy say the album art looked like a sideways WuTang logo?

Yep this is my favorite time.

Any day, we will get more audio.

Enjoy the ride, fellas.

Stop complaining.

Keep dropping puns instead

Or provide poop, pee, weight loss updates, too.

This may be the smartest move they could make. Build legendary hype and maybe finally release it in like 10 years.

Was more excited before the YouTube-Door clips. Sounds like Gigaton 2 with a couple of extra Quick Escape-esque riffs.

Going to be pretty funny when the next newsletter is just news about Painted Shield, some random projects the members have been working on, followed by a 'Make sure that your membership details are up to date'
