    to be honest, it could use some improvement.
    Jam out with your clam out.
  • Well in my defense I've kept all my opinions in my thread.

    It's not that I don't like it, I just don't think it's as good as people make it out to be. I'm a little dissapointed in it, but that's okay. I said so in a very respectful manner. :)

    One day, you'll grow up and have the life experience to truly appreciate it, my son.

    Until that day ...

    ;)

    Lol, I've been through a lot. I know life has it's many twist and turns, but my taste in music has stayed pretty solid. As I drummer I used to love Pearl Jam for Dave A's playing on Vs. now I love them for the depth of their music, for the truth in them. No other band has that truth and depth that they have.

    That being said I loved Into The Wild as well. Eddie kicked ass on that record. The Speed of Sound demo is good, and I like The End until the violin comes in. Eddie kicks ass, but I feel as if everything that Brendan did really make the songs over crowded, and mask the beauty of Stone and Mike.

    Again, it's a solid record, but in my eyes it doesn't compare to anything else they've done. You may love it because it's different, it's a breath of fresh happy, it's a happy go lucky record, but to me it comes off as a little to poppy and catchy for my liking.

    The band of your youth is gone! Your youth is gone! Grow up, get a job and enjoy the music!
    Ahhhh. 1992 ,those were the day`s :mrgreen:
    Pearl Jam fan from the beginning and a huge fan for the past 9 albums.And YES! I love Backspacer!!!!!!!
    Not all of us older fans are complaining about this great album and I could care less about the Target deal.
    But come on dude. "The band of your youth is gone!Your youth is gone!" I might be older but I still have my youth and my band is still here with me.

    Thanks for the pictures! Priceless! :lol:

    Kat's right, though.... I know it's hard to bit your tongue and say nothing....but sometimes that is the best thing and let it die away....

    People come here to vent and then they're gone....we are not helping the cause when we continue to feed the fire... I've been guilty of that myself, getting in the heat of the moment and losing sight of myself, not realizing how i am affecting others here. It's how you say it that really makes a difference....

    Good to have some people reminding us from time to time...

    Nah, I wouldn't want the board to be shut down.... just need to know when to step away for a while and just let them die away, or report them like Kat said....

    what would i do without you funny people??! :D

    loving those pictures - so funnnnyyyyyyyyyyy!

    You know, the band really should tour Texas more. We seem to be the only sane ones around here. Who'd of thunk it?

  • What I truly don't get about so many of these posts is that Pearl Jam should be something that's good in your life. Yet it seems for so many people it's a cause of frustration and anger. Perhaps if they realized how unappealing they look, then they'd see themselves in a different light: :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :x :x :x :x :x :x . See, that's how you appear to people? That's why people don't want to be your friends.

    As for me, I love the new album. I can understand people who might like it as much as me, but what I don't understand is comments about the quality of Ed's singing, comments such as "this album sucks" or "this album doesn't sound like Pearl Jam." Actually, it does sound like Pearl Jam because it IS Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam circa 2009.

    I've found most of these people just hate everything about everything. They hate the movie they just saw, they hate their favorite TV shows, they hate the meal they just ate, they hate their significant other.

    Some people are just miserable pricks.

  • Is it just me, or is anyone else getting sick of the number of people on here who have absolutely no sense of humour, or any grasp of irony or sarcasm? It's like being surrounded by a bunch of children, who take everything literally. I've lost the will to post in half the ridiculous threads that have popped up.

    Since the forum became a 'paying members only' forum, it seems to be overpopulated with either miserable 'the band can't do anything right' types, or ridiculously sycophantic arse holes who jump down people's thorats if they say anything even mildly dissenting about the band. So yeah, I totally agree with the sentiments of the OP. People need to lighten up and try and enjoy the music.
