Pearl Jam being experimental sounds like such an oxymoron to me. They're just so far from it.

For some reason i can picture them successfully write a couple of tunes with some sort of a tribal rhythm but i wouldn't call even that experimental.

Honestly I'm not even sure. I was thinking if something like The End ended up on their "happy go lucky" album they're all but settled into sounding like Pearl Jam whatever the hell that means.EJ wrote:Agreed.

We've not had any listening parties yet, this is the first one. But yeah, I hope someone's honest. I honestly want to know this isn't a pop album. Or that it's less of one.EJ wrote:Have any of these listening parties resulted in someone's review of "eh"?
Or will the fanboys just tow the company line and say it was great?
