12th album rumors and speculation

[Monkey_Driven]

Yes, I think there are enough crumbs of information to confirm they've at least rehearsed/jammed/recorded several songs with Watt over the past year or two.

[Coach]

Yep, I am confident there is at least another album coming in '24 or '25

[liebzz]

The cycle: new album, promise in ensuing 3 years they won’t wait so long and tell us there’s material sitting around, start recording 3 years in but take your time to the tune of at least 2 years, build up hype for new album over the next year, release poorly received single, start over, wait 2 more years.

I'm really glad I stopped waiting for Pearl Jam to make me happy again and got on with the rest of my life

[liebzz]

Not only is this likely to be the first year since I subscribed to Spotify that Pearl Jam won’t be my most listened to artist, but they may not make my fancy top 5 for the year.

i just stopped caring about new albums

i am perfectly content to see them live and enjoy them play songs from the first 5-6 albums

Good for you both!

I must say, new PJ is not high on my list of "things I feel I really need" these days. Don't get me wrong, I certainly wouldn't complain to get it, just not something I'm particularly invested in nor have much in the way of hope for (from a quality perspective). There's soooo much good stuff out there.

Has anyone got AI to make the next PJ record yet?

I mean, there’s always so much good stuff and the wish for new Pearl Jam isn’t to fill a void of no good music, it’s a complaint (half serious only - I don’t need it by any measure) rooted in wanting the excitement surrounding their new music.

[VinylGuy]

Im super exited they are making new music. I want it now. Everything else fades when it’s new Pearl Jam coming.

Super relevant post Easter

Yeah this generally holds true for me too. I am not as convinced that will be the case this time around. The long gaps are impacting my enthusiasm. I mean Lightning Bolt is nearly 10 years old and we’ve only had one album since then.

[Anders]

Look forward to RMing and listening to the new album.

yeah this is the best

i was super happy with gigaton so im really exited with the new one. And i like that they are recording together.

[Ms Harmless]

I still think Gigaton is a start to finish solid album but that's partly due to its producer, so on one level I'm nervous but also I have to hope they'd want to make something at least that good; I don't need better, on a par would be fine

I just don't want a Pop Jam album (not because I don't like pop but because they're not very good at it)

[dad]

honestly, if they wanted to throw Get it Back the follow-up to Gigaton, I wouldn't be mad about it.

[Coach]

They are going to do what they are going to do.

which is nothing
