Love sirens but I agree.

Whole record goes into some strange alleys after that.

Purely via track listing

Man, I have no problem with a bit of Shania in my Pearl Jam.

as much as i enjoy the album (as i said before, 7/10 overall), there's still not a single song on here i'd consider amazing yet or one of the best songs i've heard this year... the closest might be Pendulum, but melodically it's not that strong, it's mostly based on the music/production.

as weak as Riot Act was, I at least would put 'All or None' in my top 30 PJ tunes... so far nothing on here cracks that mark.

This album is way, way better than Backspacer. I find myself wanting to re-listen to songs because I actually want to, as opposed to re-listening to them in a way that's analogous to driving a car around the block to try and figure out if there's something wrong with it.

Where did you read that?
It's on the Australian iTunes site but not the UK site. I've screengrabbed it but I'm at work.

almost all major albums on iTunes have that 'Mastered For iTunes' logo on them these days. from everything i've heard, it's kind of bullshit.

I'd certainly frequent a Guinness buffet. A-hyuk!
