I follow the nature photographer who shot the PJ cover on Instagram. He has a lot of amazing shots of Arctic wildlife.

would be a pretty cool cover without the heartbeat gimmick
― omg what did you type to find this gif? (Spottie), Monday, 13 January 2020 22:45 (six years ago)
Ottawa, Quebec City and fucking Hamilton? but no Montreal date.
― sofatruck, Thursday, 16 January 2020 17:49 (six years ago)
Eh, there will be more. I mean, I could have sworn there was no Chicago date, either.

"US Tour"

Well, that was unexpected.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 12:44 (six years ago)
Weird, for some reason I thought Brendan O'Brien had produced every PJ album (except "Binaural"), but no, just most of them. But not this one.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 12:50 (six years ago)
I dig it.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 13:11 (six years ago)
Kind of Muse-y, tbh. But I like it, too.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 13:29 (six years ago)
lol i love this

I dig the many-Vedders coda

wow this was unexpected to say the least
I dig it

that was fun! they might as well stretch out a bit at this point

when does the prins thomas discomiks drop

Weird and exhilarating to hear Vedder imitate David Byrne singing atop a Sleater-Kinney track from the last album.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 22 January 2020 23:28 (six years ago)
oh man i loooove this!
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:13 (six years ago)
You know, that album cover made me think of "Grace Under Pressure," but the red wave at the top is actually reminiscent of "Permanent Waves."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:39 (six years ago)
I've already cooled on this song after a handful of listens, but still intrigued by the idea of a curveball PJ album in 2020. I'm not sure I ever listened to Lightning Bolt more than one time, if that.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:43 (six years ago)
i liked Lightning Bolt a lot(not as much as avocado tho)
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:49 (six years ago)
Backspacer got a lot of plays from me, but even that one I haven't spun in years.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:56 (six years ago)
No Code/Yield is their real sweet spot imo.
00’s highlight is def Avocado, there’s literally not a bad song on the whole album
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 23 January 2020 05:45 (six years ago)
weird to realize Eddie Vedder is older than Mick Jagger was when the Stones released Bridges to Babylon.
― omar little, Thursday, 23 January 2020 06:04 (six years ago)
I heard “Dance of the Clairvoyants” for the first time last night and it’s surprising and I like it, but my brain keeps drawing a lot of parallels to the Killers “The Man” and insists on melding them into one song on mental replay. Just me?
― Manitobiloba (Kim), Friday, 7 February 2020 14:11 (six years ago)
I'd never heard that, but there are some very loose similarities.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 February 2020 15:30 (six years ago)
Oh, I see that song was based around a Kool & the Gang sample. Cool:

weird to realize Eddie Vedder is older than Mick Jagger was when the Stones released Bridges to Babylon.He’s almost as old as Time Out of Mind-era Dylan!
― dad genes (morrisp), Friday, 7 February 2020 15:39 (six years ago)
That's a good comparison.

Seems like it could make a good thread. Patterson Hood, David Yow, Steve Albini ...
Lol, I just looked up Mariah Carey, and wiki says "Born March 27, 1969 or 1970 (age 49–50)" wtf?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 February 2020 15:46 (six years ago)
It’s not polite to ask a lady about her age.
― dad genes (morrisp), Friday, 7 February 2020 15:56 (six years ago)
I didn't read beyond her birthday(s), but I'm fairly certain there is more embarrassing information in that wikipedia entry.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 February 2020 16:02 (six years ago)
"Dance" got me excited about the prospect of a weird late-career PJ album but unfortunately it's largely just boring and shaggy :/
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Monday, 23 March 2020 23:23 (six years ago)
It's rather dull, despite a sharp mix. Without knowing the credits, it sounds like acoustic Eddie Veder songs fleshed out by the band but unable to reject their garrulousness.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 23 March 2020 23:26 (six years ago)
Yeah, that sounds right. Real missed opportunity.
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Monday, 23 March 2020 23:41 (six years ago)
Do they credit their songs to individual writers, or just to the band as a whole?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 00:03 (six years ago)
individual writers
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 00:15 (six years ago)
I really love it.
― Pinche Cumbion Bien Loco (stevie), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 00:29 (six years ago)
I see they just released their eleventh album Gigaton. Had no idea but will play the singles for the heck of it
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 22:41 (six years ago)
It's a muddle.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 23:09 (six years ago)
"Comes Then Goes" and "Buckle Up" are the best from a band still trying to sound as if they weren't middle aged since their twenties; they worry themselves to death.
I am deeply biased obv but i really love the album so far. “Quick Escape” is my current favorite — mainly bc of the unashamed Zeppelin feel of the jangly riff & badass drums.
