12th album rumors and speculation

Waiting for Stevie probably not a song proper. I bet it is just some musing from Ed or a interlude of some kind.

I clearly hear running lyrics after pink floydish nais type song. Running starts at 149

I can’t make out the lyrics but who knows you could be right. I was going by the order of the tracklist and order of the clips.

It’s a cry for better production and is about waiting for Steve albini to help them

It takes good headphones.

I'm starting to agree with those of you who have mentioned being most intrigued by the last snippet. Now that I've gotten to know it better and have listened on all manner of speakers, I love how the ending of that is clearly building to some kind of release- feels like it could go in a bass-heavy Who direction right as it's getting cut off

For some reason I feel like Watt was focusing on "putting the jam back in Pearl Jam."

From Facebook:

Tracklist:
1. Scared of Fear
2. React, Respond
3. Wreckage
4. Dark Matter
5. Won't Tell
6. Upper Hand
7. Waiting for Stevie
8. Running
9. Something Special
10. Got to Give
11. Setting Sun

If this is the correct tracklist my thoughts about the metal door clips are:

Clip 1 - either Scared of Fear or React, Respond
Clip 2 - Wreckage (which is an obvious one)
Clip 3 - Dark Matter which everyone knows now. I originally thought it was a heavier part of Wreckage but stand corrected after the leaked samples.
Clip 4 - Won’t Tell
Clips 5 and 6 - Upper Hand. Both clips have the same tempo. Could be different sections of the song.
Clip 7 - Waiting For Stevie
Clip 8 - Running

Here's my take:

1 - SoF or R/R
2 - Obviously wreckage
3 - We know it now (DM)
4 - Won't Tell
5 - ?
6 - ?
7 - I think this is Something Special. I think I actually hear "special" in the clip, and the whole feel of this song fits perfectly with the report that it's about ed's girls.
8 - Running? Youtube dude says this song is fast/heavy.

I also think the track sequence might be wrong. Youtube fella said they had to flip to side b AFTER the song about ed's daughters, so I think something special is track 6.


I think it's like this:

Tracklist:
1. Scared of Fear
2. React, Respond
3. Wreckage
4. Dark Matter
5. Won't Tell
6. Something Special
7. Upper Hand
8. Running
9. Got to Give
10. Waiting for Stevie
11. Setting Sun

The little instrumental snippet of dark matter from wiki sounds very similar to first 30 seconds of this song:

*secretly wishes for Billy Billy Micropenis*

[Ms Harmless]

Dark Matter (feat. Ice Spice)

[96583UP]

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Dark Matter (feat. Ice Spice)

[blueviper]

My prediction

Dark Matter is to Pearl Jam

as

Accelerate is to R.E.M.

Sounds good to me!

My God I love snippets 5 and 6. All of them are promising.
