    They had 25 tracks in 2011?? Holy moley. I sure hope this album blows our minds when it finally comes out if its taking this long. Please have some killer Mccready guitar work and some classic songwriting from Stone!

    From Stone: I think the main thing is that were not in a rush and there's no urgency to it. The most important thing is that we put something out that continues to expand our boundaries rather than trying to follow what we've done in the past. I think it's a good time to hopefully continue to experiment, and continue to shake it up. So that people can go "Wow, that's kind of weird for Pearl Jam," and then 10 years later they can go, "Oh, that’s my favorite period." Which is always kind of what happens. You try something and at first everybody doesn't necessarily understand it, and then you look back and you go, thank God we tried something new, because it really opened a door up for us to be able to do this and this and this beyond that.


    From Ed: we'll be ready to go when we're ready to go

    I love the anticipation for a new PJ album!!!!

    I certainly hope stone is right and soon enough this year we have an experimental album... i'm praying for a late summer release maybe? is it possible for earlier?

    I like reading this from Stone. If expanding the boundaries and coming up something totally different than ever before makes us wait longer to get a new album, then I'm all for it. This brings nothing but a heightened sense of anticipation for the new album.

    By the way, great idea for a new thread. Good reading and good conversation.

    when he said 25 tracks, maybe he meant 25 half finished ideas. I find it hard to believe they had that much completed stuff almost a year ago and then someone saying they only are half done the record.

    maybe we'll get some actual b sides on this one.

    I get the impression that the guys are not even excited to talk about the band at the moment,
    let alone finish the album.

    Which is fine. I can wait. Just sayin'.

    Great idea, bring it all into one sensible thread! I was thinking about how Foo Fighters released a double album of half electric and half acoustic and how PJ could do this so much better! A double would certainly make the waiting worthwhile... ;)

    Been waiting on a double album since '05 or whatever when news came out that PJ had twenty something tracks ready for the Self Titled release.

    I mean it makes sense, all the great bands have a double album

    i have been considering this A LOT the past week or two... i actually have convinced myself that this will be a double disc... the Foo's idea of a 1/2 electric and 1/2 acoustic record crossed my mind but i think that would be a bit TOO copycat for PJ to do so they wouldnt do it...

    but yeah, double disc has been crossing my mind lately, and i think it is definitely possible... perhaps that is the reason there has been no real b-sides released in years? savng it up for a major double release

    I wouldn't mind a double-disc...considering how short Backspacer was, and how much time off PJ has had since then - you'd have to imagine they have more than enough material, right??

    At least I can *hope* that...

    Realistically when do you all think we will see this album? ALSO, when do you think we'll start seeing the fluctuation of interviews, little vids, exciting talk, etc. etc. that lets us all know its new album season and it is on the way.

    I think we may see an album by late summer and I think In like April, we'll start seeing all the news and interviews and info on a new album coming... and a tour.

    I've been thinking (or hoping) that we will get a US tour right around when the album drops, which I think will be late summer/fall with announcements in the spring sometime. I have a feeling that around spring time, this board will be jumping all over the place with all the rumors, news, etc with everything kind of coming together at once - new album, tour announcements, tour itself, etc.

    Once the Soundgarden and BRAD are finished touring by the end of February, I expect the guys to get together and hit the studio pretty hard and start writing in March/April. The next 4-5 months is going to be pretty exciting and a lot of anticipation. This is a big year for PJ.

    I think the US tour will be a massive surprise almost any day now (that gets my blood rushing through my veins just THINKING about a tour and a new album to play on repeat for a solid month.)

    I think the album will be released in July-Aug. The boys can getter done!

    I don't disagree with you about why they're waiting but why the hell does Pearl Jam have to wait for Soundgarden and Brad? Let's face it nobody outside of die hard PJ fans cares about Brad and hardly anyone cares about new Soundgarden music either, evident from the pathetic sales. :evil:
