If I'm not in the right zone to listen to it, the solos, the keys and even the first verse make me :shake: in a 'why pearl jam why?' Kinda way.

I still mostly like it though. I'm enjoying watching the live versions from the tour.

Songs 5-8 are really good for me, playing them the most, although I don't mind the first 3 as well.

If anyone is interested in the specifics:
Aiming for their first ever UK number one album, Pearl Jam fail valiantly but secure their eighth Top 10 album from 10 studio releases, debuting at number two with Lightning Bolt on sales of 17,559 copies. It is a little over four years since their last studio album, Backspacer, debuted and peaked at number nine on first week sales of 25,804 copies.

How come they'd be higher up the chart with fewer sales?

OK, yeah so it's relative. Makes sense.
