In fairness backspacer isnt exactly gonna go down as a Classic album title

No words in the article about Boom playing on any songs? Any sign of organ at all? If not... FUCK YEAH!!!!! With Brendan O'brien back, he can handle that part like he did with their first 5 albums!

If the music is classic, the title will be classic.

I hope that the 39 minutes is a typo. I was really banking on something under 30 minutes. I mean, If you're gonna release a demo, then do it right!

hey - ed played "speed of sound" in maui - and it was NO coldplay-cover

Anyone beginning to believe this article now?

Five out of eleven songs is not a bad ratio...I just want some news; maybe after the EV tour.

PS: who saw the Virgin Fest announcement coming? totally out of left field.

PJ + BH/R7 down under, ACL, some Festivals, some shows in CHI/TO; such sporadic and random dates; lots of $$ to offset their carbon footprint me thinks.

I haven't heard it, but what I gathered from responses on the net it's a midtempo song with very mixed reviews. The acoustic version that is out there starts midway and is of very poor quality. (Like I said, I haven't heard it. I'm stating this on hearsay.) I'm curious about the studieversion for in the Germam magazine it said there is some piano in there.

36 minutes is very disappointing for 11 songs.

i hope not all songs are 3.5 minutes....
it's just such a standard amount of time for a song...


intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus
sometimes gets a little old fairly fast if it's really quick and doesn't contain much more than some catchy power chord riffs....I wanna hear some real unique RIFFS

anyways i really don't wanna check back through all the pages
if there are any more samples of songs from this album...please let me know :oops:

Absolutely. I very much hope it is and I am proven wrong. But it gets tiring that people act like nothing this band ever has done or will do can possibly be less than glorious, or that I'm insane for not hopping up and down like a kid on Christmas after being disappointed 2 albums in a row and finding the early interviews and reviews to be less than encouraging.

I couldn't give 2 shits how long the album is. It could be 5 songs and 25 minutes and I'd be cool with that as long as those songs are good. Pink Floyd did a lot of great albums like that. What I care about is an album full of 2-3 minute throwaway rockers that will be played live the exact same way as they are on the album for one tour and then discarded to never be heard again because they were never more than filler. There has been too much of that on the last 2-3 albums, and their statements on the new album, as well as the reviews that have surfaced, seem to indicate that rather than learning and abandoning those songs, they've made a conscious effort to do an entire album like that.

agree 100%
i always get nervous making such comments because it seems we're not allowed to criticise ANYTHING this band does. I'm sure the guys themselves would rather read some real critisicm from their fans willing to stand up then everybody just warship anything PJ does.

you guys remember listening to Ten for the first time?
i'll never forget it...nor will i forget showing my friends who've never heard PJ the entire ten album and they were just blown away.

once
evenflow
alive
why go (during this song...the mates had enough and just had to ask...."are all their albums like this?!"...i really didn't know how to answer that...)
Black
Jeremy
Oceans
Porch
Deep
Release

it's the only album (from any band) that i listened the WHOLE way through without skipping and was just in shock of the masterpiece that it is/was.


...I've tried to fight my love for Ten over many years but i always find myself crawling back.
Do i dare go as far as to say it's the only full PJ album that i truely love (is this possible from somebody who considers a band as their favourite?!) instead of just a select few songs.

what did you skip on vs ?!

Badnercalabrese

haha thanks for the reminder man

hey i'd be happy if they released another VS!
VS for me was a little bit of a hit and miss...

songs i love...

RVM
WMA

songs i really enjoy

Animal
Dissident
Elderly women behind...
rats

Songs i like (but will probably skip)

Go
Daughter (radio kind of ruined this one for me though)
Indifference
Leash

but really RVM was the only song that reeeeeeeeally hit me.
I would have much preferred if the guys just added brother and state of love and trust to this one.
but thats just me!

cheers

I can't wait for the new album, really looking forward to it :P

I find it a little bit strange how some people can be disapointed by an album that they've actually never even heard.

Sounds to me like Pearl Jam isn't the issue here.
