12th album rumors and speculation

[Jaeti]

Quick Escape is their best song since Binaural

It's definitely the best song since Dance of the Clairvoyants

Someone's going to need to fire up the Gigaton thread and crank out another "I can't believe how good this thing is" post.

[Ms Harmless]

Please tell me you're not a dildo dullard like Trog who rates that song a 2/5.

dear pearl jam,

please write a song called "dildo dullard."

thank you.

Ed is too straight to write that song properly

[wease]

I’d like to know which member has the smallest success rate for demos turning into PJ songs

Definitely Matt.

I think Stone nowadays. I do think he writes the most songs, but only 1 or 2 make it to a PJ album nowadays.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah Matt writes great demos, then they just get vedderfied and turned into Ed songs.

Ed should have done something better with Evacuation. Instead he mimicked Cornell, which he cant do live, and now they can never play the song

Matt had nothing on Lightning Bolt. One on Gigaton other than the band-written DOTC. Two co-writes on Backspacer. One co-write on Avocado (which I was unaware of. I thought he wrote the music himself)

So four tunes since Riot Act 20 years ago. For four albums. The band has very much remained the Ed/Stone/Jeff show with Ed tunes pretty much dominating the songwriting.

Not that Dance was some huge grand "experiment," but I'd like to see more "experimenting" with different soundz.

Yesss and flashing lights

they should experiment with trying to make Dance of the Clairvoyants sound good live

[Coach]

The live version they did during covid wasn't bad

[bodysnatcher]

The live version they did during covid wasn't bad

i watched that only once, live, but for some reason i recall it being the studio track with them pretending to play and sing over the top of it. i'm sure i'm completely wrong.

[96583UP]

that live covid one totally different ...

talking about their live concerts ... the sound quality just isn't there ... levels all fucked up ... should just stick to the setlists i supply them in advance

It's a live take for sure worth a second look my friend

they hardly play Binaural songs anymore regardless

[Leatherhead]

Ed's not the reason they don't play Evacuation.

can't blame Dave A for this one

As for new music, Pearl Jam has been working on and off since July 2021 with producer Andrew Watt at multiple Los Angeles-area studios. “We’re going to be working on some more music between now and the end of the year and hopefully finish a record,” guitarist Stone Gossard tells SPIN of the follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton. “That’s the plan. The little bits that I’ve heard so far that are mixed are sounding good. I’m excited. It’s going to be a rock record.”
