6. Upper Hand
7. Waiting for Stevie
8. Running
9. Something Special
10. Got to Give
11. Setting Sun
What's the source? This seems about right, but just curious.

99% confident the guy on YouTube said their was no song called “wrecker and or wreckage”.

He also stated The first 3 tracks were 1 scared of fear 2 React/respond 3 Running

He also stated “Running” sounded like a longer version of Lukin which would mean it’s early on the album.

YES
I don't know.

That effect, combined with the mention sometime earlier that Wotman had Jeff dig out his fretless basses for the first time in a while, makes me concerned this thing is going to packed to the gills with Pearl Jam fan service.
It's being produced by a Pearl Jam superfan. It's definitely going to be full of PJ fan service.
Wasn't that the idea of Yield?

And it is fucking amazing.
I thought the idea of Yield was for the band to be more collaborative after Ed primarily driving both Vitalogy and No Code, i.e. letting the other guys come up with lyrics, more space for their musical ideas, etc.

In any event, I guess we'll see.

Thankfully he gave up the whole enunciation experiment.
Yeah, I remember when he started doing that I was like what the fuck is this shit?! So glad that's over, hopefully.

I think it's clear that Wotman helped Eddie find something, and with that in mind, I can understand genuine enthusiasm about this record on Ed's part- he'd been dying to record a PJ record with AW ever since making Earthling!

Seeing as they all worked on this together in a relatively short creative burst, I'm hopeful that Ed's energy and excitement were contagious and there is magic in this effort. If there is "fan service" then I am here for it. One could argue that such a thing existed on Gigaton- indeed, those moments may be some of my favorites.

They're sixty. Fan service is all that's left, ffs...give it here, and gift it with the swiftness
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…

The non-vocal clip sounds much better. Not sure why. I dig it.I’ll wager it’s a Matt song–definite You Are vibes.

Album artwork is fine–it’s like Binaural and Riot Act had a baby. I don’t even mind the font. Not their greatest cover but better than the following album covers:

1. Ten
2. Avocado
3. Backspacer
4. Lightning Bolt

I got no problems with Ten and Avocado's covers. Backspacer and Lightning bolt just seem too modern graphic art.

Anyone else expected that clip of Dark Matter to turn into I Love Rock And Roll for a moment there at the beginning?

Drums are blown out and cartoonish for no reason

I knew they were gonna sound like chad smith earthling so I’m not suprised.. it’s just a bit dumb

Like the riff is a bit dumb

On the other hand EVs vocals sound the best on a pear jam record since 2005. His old man frequencies are hidden correctly

His vocals do sound good in the small clips I’ve heard, hope it stays that way, when I hear the full album.

If they've recorded these more "live studio" style ala Yield, I'm fucking excited.
