So my response to another post got me thinking. Anyone out there have a little ritual they go through on the first listen of a new Pearl Jam Album? Personally I like to sit on my bed, smoke a joint and then flip through the little book as each song goes by, I listen to the album all the whole way through once. Then I stop. No crazy 3 or 4 times through, just once.
all those paper plates......

    No particular ritual. Just ram the cd into the car player and start to rock out (well that's what I did for the Avocado). Cant wait to get the first listen over and done with, cos once I start to learn the songs I love 'em more and more!
