The End (?)
the last song on the forthcoming album entitled as the end maybe means something?
it's not easy for me to say but i wish this will be their last record.from what i've heard so far from the new songs i feel that there is no inspiration and freshness left.for me it's better to just tour with no new songs.it's very weird for me to watch live the fixer and supersonic.
ed said i think in holland "see you maybe in 1 and a half year...",so maybe a world tour in 2011 after all albums will have been reissued and then the end?
unfortunately all things have to come to an end at some point

When longtime Seattle rock group Pearl Jam began working on their new studio album, the idea was to delete any of the sonic fat which appeared on some of their earlier efforts.
Hence, it seems quite suitable that the band chose Backspacer as its album title.
"I think basically we wanted it to be pretty focused," guitarist Stone Gossard says backstage -- alongside guitarist Mike McCready -- before a Toronto show last Friday. "If it wasn't really developing (into) a song or a plot, then it was, 'Just get rid of it.' We did the right work for them, they're fresh and they're up-tempo but they're not over-thought."
Backspacer, out Sept. 20, has 11 songs and clocks in at 36 minutes, 10 minutes less than their previous shortest effort, Vs., back in 1993. Gossard also says McCready, drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Jeff Ament and himself worked on the album while Eddie Vedder toured solo last year behind the Into the Wild soundtrack.
"With this album, the band was in full control of it to start out with. Ed wasn't involved," he says. "We got our songs together and got what was the base of the record, the backbone of it. Ed came in and it started to morph. We carried the torch and passed it to Ed and he inhabited it all. Once he wrapped his head around the songs, he knew how to finish them and we trusted him with that."
Produced by Brendan O'Brien, early reviews of Backspacer have tossed around the "New Wave" term quite a bit. But don't expect Pearl Jam to be wearing skinny ties and trading guitars for synthesizers anytime soon. From crisp, punchy rockers like Supersonic and Got Some to broader, well-rounded anthems like Amongst the Waves and Unthought Known, it's quite solid from start to finish.
As for favourites, McCready says Just Breathe, one of two Vedder-led acoustic-driven numbers, is his pick.
"I think Ed's harmonies when he comes in on the chorus are so striking and phenomenal and moving that it just draws me in every time I hear it," he says. "It's a beautiful love song."
Meanwhile, Gossard selects The End, the other number in a similar style.
"I think The End is one of the greatest songs ever written -- it's ridiculous lyrical, structural simplicity and finger-picking," he says. "How close his voice is to just breaking but it doesn't. I think it's exciting that he wanted to do some of that with this band too. It was a great opportunity for this band to have that as a whole rather than to try and separate it."
So far on their current tour, Pearl Jam has only performed a handful of songs from Backspacer, including the single The Fixer. McCready says more of the new material will appear in concert once the album is officially released.
"I think playing the new songs is just a joy," he says. "It's exciting for us as musicians because it's new art and (we) see how people react to it. New is always exciting, I want to play more of it."
But don't expect Pearl Jam to be out on the road months at a time supporting it. Gossard says they will continue touring, but would "love to make records and tour in smaller increments over the next 20 years."
It goes against the traditional music industry grain, but that's nothing new for these guys.
"There's a real collective energy that's built over the years," Gossard says. "There were so many times where people said, 'You're going to screw your career.' Everything that everyone said was going to be the end of us ended up being something that we grew from and that people respected."
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Okay yeah, whoops but
Maybe parting ways did mean something or any other songs with those kinda song meaning?
Or maybe the OP hasn't seen them this tour or heard any interviews, but they all seem to be having a blast at the moment and especially Eddie with Obama being in charge.
i don't love the band less than you.i'm just being realistic.they are fading out..
in 2000 they left sad out of binaural which is a diamond and now they put out the fixer as a single..maybe their weakest song so far...
The whole "This is the last Pearl Jam record because the last song title is ______" has been going on for a decade now. It's not exactly an original thought. And it's been proven to be a ridiculous notion.
Somebody needs to tell the OP before he embarrasses himself further. I consider it a public service.
for the least they could possibly do
obviously from what i wrote i don't believe this will the last album only because of the last song..
so while i may not agree 100% with the OP............that' ok!!
Frankly, it doesn't matter why you believe this. There is no evidence -- none -- that Pearl Jam plans to call it quits anytime soon. In fact, there is more evidence to the contrary.
You're just being silly.

Exactly. So if I disagree with you or anyone else, it's my right to express that opinion too, no?
It seems what all the "free speechers" on this and other boards really want is everyone to agree with them. When you disagree, you get accused of "attacking their free speech" or something.
That free speech thing works both ways.
for the least they could possibly do
I hear your opinion but disagree.
1. There will be more work, just check out the 10 minute Backspacer promo. Talking of the short record Ed said they have made long one's before and maybe the next one will do so again.
2. No inspiration? Eddie has what 2 kids now, Matt has had some for awhile now, Stone just became a father last year. There is no greater inspiration in the world than your kids.
3. Got Some rocks, Unthought Know is going to be be one of those soaring songs (GTF, In Hiding, etc.), Just Breathe is brilliant solo piece, and Amongst the Wave and Force of Nature will push the boundaries and songs I will play over and over and you might just do the same.
i was talking about the freedom of people expressing an opinion and then being attacked for it...i'm not talking about your freedom to attack and be rude...big fucking difference dude!!
Can't we go back to plain good old attacking people? This forum has changed so.... :roll:

All I did was post a Billy Madison quote. I don't have the freedom to do that anymore? What is this, Soviet Russia?
