I'm 29, and absolutely loved this album from the first listen on Saturday night. I haven't felt this giddy about a record since Yield..for me, there are no fillers here that need to be skipped..unlike Avocado and Riot Act, which obviously have many great tracks, but are also littered with unfortunate clunkers..

giddy up!!!

what's funny is i think the exact opposite...ed's lyrics are superb and i love the phrasing...the lyrics to amongst the waves, unthough known, speed of nature really speak to me...i'm enjoying happy ed

Ed is what makes this album. Lyrics, phrasing, vocal delivery. He really carries the day.

And don't you have that feeling with Unthought Known of being lifted up from the ground, soaring above everything..I don't know how else to describe it..in a Given to Fly kind of way that only Pearl jam can do...

Yeah, the combo of Amongst the Waves and Unthought Known. What a ride! Then right as they softly set you back down at the end, Supersonic gone and took my soul! Woo!

Sat down and listend to the album today for the 4th time but this time I sat down with the book, read all the words, and really took it all in. Hit me in alot of ways...espesially The End, making me think of a friend in stage 4 lymphomia. When the album was over I called my fiance' and told her I was picking up my daughter at school...had a really big urge to spend the day with her and really enjoy life and the people in it. Like the album alot, fits with me well. I'm 37, not married but with my fiance for 16 years( we take things slow) and have a beautiful 5 yr old.

Maybe someone said this already because I haven't read all the post, but have you guys put the cd in a pc yet? gives you screensavers and artwork and some other stuff....pretty cool.

I'm willing to bet that all the people who don't like the album now will come out of the shows blown away by most of these new songs, even after all these yrs people still don't get how this band works ..

I've been listening to PJ since 92. Some of the albums I can't listen to because I don't like the studio sound but I always have my bootleg collection. Bestt ,live band in the world as far as i'm concerned.

Well 1st of all back then there was no internet so it was only a few friends that i would talk to about the band ,but yeah for the NOCODE tour people were like ehmmm i don't know about this new album and as soon as they heard Hail Hail live it was like the fog lifted ....and anything before that i probably only saw them once or twice a yr ...
