STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hebejebe

C'mon guys quit complaining about the length of the album. Sure I'd like 75mins of awesomeness but I'd rather have 36 mins of brilliance than 75 mins of mediocrity. So long as the album is good that's all I care about. There are plenty of great albums under 40mins. Hopefully they can crack another album out in under 2yrs next time though.

Agh, who gives a monkey's nutsack if the album is 36 minutes long. I don't believe the article to be true anyway because those song titles are from other bands.

R.E.M's Accelerate was their best album in years and that clocked in at under 40 minutes. Stop moaning.

Yes, but REM's album was a return to their strengths and the style that made them one of the best bands in the world. By all accounts I have seen, the new material is a further abandonment of all their strengths in order to pursue paths they've already taken that generally result in a lot of utterly forgettable songs.

By all you have seen? Have you heard the album? Heard anymore songs than the ones that have leaked? Or are you speculating? Seems like you build your opinion on premisses.

I'm basing it on the songs I have heard and every interview they've given, and what I have heard concerns and depresses me. If people around here can cream their shorts in excitement over what they've heard about the new album, why can I not say it doesn't sound promising?

No doubt. But are the rest of us supposed to resign or fake it or otherwise swallow our opinion just becos we don't like the new stuff as much?

But this is what bothers me: one song (Got Some) was aired, The End was played live (and so was Unthought Unknown) and there was a very crappy leak of The Fixer. Beyond that, all the songs are unknown. Not one studio song was leaked. To each their own. And you don't have to swallow at all. But, to use an expression, "don't judge a book by its cover." Just wait and then decide...

I for one like to anticipate and not drive myself crazy with (maybe) unfounded opinions.

So it's ok to anticipate? How can you get excited when you haven't heard it and don't know if it's any good?

I've not heard either of the leaks. I'm going on the fact that Got Some sucked something awful, and that in several interviews they've described the new tunes almost universally as short, punchy, punkish, no guitar leads, etc etc. None of it's iron clad. But if you can get all excited, I can get concerned. I'd rather have low expectations exceeded than have high hopes dashed with subpar albums... like the last 2 times around.

It seems not only the title Backspacer PJ took from the turtle. The album would be quick like the animal, I mean quickly will finish...(36 minutes?) :roll:

Anyway - i can't wait for the half of hour and 6 minutes...

inflated EP IMO

I fully expect you to not like the new album.

Sad for you.

I refuse to let these negative posters (who find ANYTHING to bitch about) ruin my excitement.

The track list looks great, and the song descriptions sound amazing. I love shorter albums (Riot Act was a bit too long IMO). Afterall, Radiohead's 'In Rainbows' clocks in at about 42 mins. (I think?), and I find it to be the perfect length.

To those negative people out there who need to crap on everyone's excitement: Go away!

And, 'Got Some' rocks...so there.

YES! i am super pumped for the new album, and have high hopes that it will be 36 minutes that will kick my ass... seriously, between the daily bitching about Riot Act *SEVEN years after* the fact (see thread: How 'Riot Act' ruined my life"), and now all this bitching about an album WE HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD YET, this board is beginning to get a little tedious.

Thanks for translating!!! I remember Ed sayin somewhere that on this record....they wanted to make music that would stand the test of time and be staples at SHOWS.

GONNA BE A GREAT REMAINDER OF THE YEAR into 2010

So why would they name four songs w/ titles already used on other popular songs?

I believe that its just a matter of coincidence. Pearl Jam has never been a band to change what they do in order to accommodate what others have already done. The songs on Backspacer will be Pearl Jam songs. I don't think that its any reason to fret...so don't

Murderers.

Pinkerton is only 34 minutes and it's one of the best of all time.

Either/Or is only 36 minutes and it's one of the best of all time.

wouldn't it be funny if these were the b-sides from s/t that Danny Clinch referred to in that interview way back when

mattosborne

Even with the screen shots from the magazine, I'm very skeptical of this.

Supersonic & Force of Nature (Both Oasis song titles) and Speed of Sound (Coldplay title).

I could be terribly mistaken, but I really don't believe that PJ would do that.

Radiohead's album was only 10 songs long, not 14.

It most certainly is. In fact, Roman Candle sits at 30 minutes and the S/T is 37 minutes, and I regard those better than XO, Figure 8, and From a Basement which are 44, 52, and 57 minutes respectively. (Although all are insanely good). It's all in the quality and flow. Time has nothing to do with it. I'd rather no time wasted than it drag on for the sake of making an arbitrary time length.
