well, it sounds like he doesn't think he has much time left; wouldn't you?
I love that they're just going full-on on every song.
me too! yeah you could say there's too many, but fuck it, there's "too many" on Ten as well and who doesn't love that?

Got to Give is great. I love this iteration of Pearl Jam that uses piano/keys more.

I love how spontaneous Ed sounds on this records. Lots of little parts with lots of variation that don't seem too thought out. Just letting loose

yep - got it too of course, as my red 10c variant waits in fucking no man's land. Honestly we should all email them back a snarky response like...

Noticed the Email was sent as 'High Importance' too......

K, bye.
I don't think it's a bad thing, but it does kinda make them not that special, added to my pet peeves about this release.
