THE NEW PEARL JAM: HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT
Four mountain ridges, a canyon, a copious green valley, a steep rock, a jungle, veld - and an almost punchline ending. Pearl Jam's ninth studio album "Backspacer" is the first one since "Yield" that has been produced by Brendan O'Brien.
See My Friend: Pearl Jam as you expect them today: straight rock, strong lyrics, hands-on and aggressive.
Got Some: Also rock, also straight and almost angry but with some distinctive guitar licks by Mike McCready.
The Fixer: The first highlight. A tight, almost classic rock tune but clever at the same time. Slightly odd, and with cool vocal melodies and rhythms this track is a mini anthem.
Johnny Guitar: Fortunately not as bland as the title suggests. Also a rocker, but with a remarkable amout of lyrics and sincerity. Grows above average but still a very classical tune.
Just Breathe: The first break and a moment to take some breath. Lovely acoustic ballad. The fingers fly over the fret board, an unobtrusive string arrangement and lyrics about love - mature, wonderful, terrific vocal delivery.
Amongst The Waves: Finally there's not only pushing forward but in all directions with a song that tries to reach the sky. The positive build-up reminds of "Given To Fly" as well as the fact that you just can't point at the root of "Amongst The Waves" (Is it the lyrics? guitars? drums?).
Unthought Known: First very climatic, then a passionate mid-tempo rock song. A slightly blurry ending but still more palpable than anything off the last album.
Supersonic: The obligatory wild song that you can find on every Pearl Jam album since "Vitalogy". Almost cheerful, driven by Matt Cameron's fast pace, in the beginning reminiscent of Soundgarden. But Soundgarden were better at creating those angular bundles of energy.
Speed Of Sound: Exotic. A strange pop song with a different sound than the rest of the album and its clear-cut production. Still: piano, tingling, suspense...
Force Of Nature: A rock song like a Pearl Jam concert: An innocent beginning, but it grows naturally and expands and has you totally in its grip before you know it.
The End: The second acoustic song and to be taken literally. One of the strongest ballads by the band since a long time, amongst other things because its urgency manifests in Vedder's vocals. Even the end of the end needs a worthy ending

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
It's a rare condition, this day and age,
to read any good news on the newspaper page.
Love and tradition of the grand design,
some people say it's even harder to find.
Well then there must be some magic clue inside these gentle walls
Cause all I see is a tower of dreams
real love burstin' out of every seam.
As days go by,
we're gonna fill our house with happiness.
The moon may cry,
we're gonna smother the blues with tenderness.
When days go by,
there's room for you,
room for me,
for gentle hearts an opportunity.
As days go by,
it's the bigger love of the family.
I was just thinking about album length, because I read an interview recently with Ben of Death Cab For Cutie where he was talking about trying not to make albums too long, and that even though you can put 80 minutes on a cd, it is still wise to shoot for around 40 minutes or so. I have been listening to the new Matt and Kim album, which is only like 29 minutes, and I was seriously thinking about making a post about how people would feel if the new PJ album was "short"er than we are used to, so this is interesting. If true.

36 minutes is pretty short, but it doesn't mean that much.
I would have thought that guy who blogged about having heard the album (was he a writer for NME or something?) would have mentioned it being really short.

9. speed of sound
Maybe these give a clue of how fast the fucking album goes by.

Yield is 38 minutes and 11 songs if you cut Push Me Pull Me and All Those Yesterdays.
Edit:
So sure, the album is shorter than normal, but it doesn't necessarily mean we should expect an album or particularly short songs or anything. I know a lot of people here were expecting that after hearing 'Got Some', thinking we'll have a lot more punkish short songs.
haha yeah but I'm serious...Its ridiculous. I think I've heard it all now. Don't think its long enough? Then don't buy it. Just wait until the album after comes out (if there is another one) and listen to them back to back and pretend its a REALLY long album...of course then maybe it will be TOO long with too much filler and not enough ED songs.
listen to yourselves sometimes. it can be good for you.

this schould be the exact tracklistinig - cause the reviewer said the first four songs are really fast - then a break with number five "just breathe" a accoustic song. and the last one "the end" is also an accoustic one (this song maybe known from the actually ev tour)
more will follow - i try to find my dictionary.....
