Though some super cool artwork would be a bonus.

southp wrote:The rumour started from an English translation to German, on a German site, translated back to English. So it's probably more like a Google translate variation on Lighting, Bolts, Thunder, Storm, etc...

That's a quote from Eddie, Backspacer era regarding the songwriting process...

Aw huh.

They've never really excelled at naming their pets.

Lost Dogs is a phenominal title.

Ten is fine because of the reference. Out of context it's neither here nor there.
Vs is actually a fantastic title once you've heard the album.
Vitalogy is derivative and archaic. It's a reference to something most people will never know about/understand/read.
No Code is stupid.
Yield is pretty good. Probably their best since Vs.
Binaural could have been cool, but they ruined it. Moot title.
Riot Act could have been great, but isn't.
Pearl Jam is lazy.
Backspacer is probably their worst.
Lost Dogs is good.

So we'll give them four out of ten (because of Ten, which is really on the fence). That's 40%. Yeah, this thing will be called Lighnig Bolt.

I agree with most of what you say here, but disagree that the archaic nature of 'Vitalogy' is a problem. The whole concept of Vitalogy (and it is a concept album), around that medical book, is probably the most imaginative thing they've done imo. If it's a little obscure and requires proper listening, all the better.
