    I hope the EP isn't a bunch of bullshit. I don't believe it yet. Its nothing they've done before and a band like Pearl Jam with extra material... I'd believe there'd be a lot of pressure to save it for a full album... for $$$ reasons.

    I hope they do drop an 7-8 song Ep. I mean... BS was only 11 songs. Not that much difference.

    Stone and Mike have let it slip in interviews that it's coming.

    I'll believe it full and completely when I am holding a Pearl Jam EP in my hot little hands. Until then... its just another thing Stone and Mike said.
  • I love both songs but Unthought Known is my favorite!!! It has become my all time favorite Pearl Jam song and sounds even better live! :D

  • Lyrically, I am partial to Amongst the Waves. It is so unabashedly joyous in its theme of redemptive love: a concept that is capable of acting as a metaphorical "backspacer" in our life. But, overall I have to choose Unthought Known (also amazing lyrics) for the musical wave it takes me on. I must also say that song really benefits from Brendan's piano work. In the same way as it does Speed of Sound, the piano serves to uphold the mood of the song while adding an extra dimension to it. Well, now seems a good time to bust out the ol' Backspacer vinyl :)

    There's a good time for that? The cd sounds better to my ears. The vinyl is pretty weak.
  • Amongst The Waves by a mile.

    Unthought Known is boring...another stinker of a song a'la "Come Back" that only starry-eyed Eddie fanatics cream over.

    Seriously? "another stinker of a song", "only starry-eyed Eddie fantatics cream over". You couldn't be more wrong and more levels.

    but now i prefer amongst the waves, this song has really struck a chord with me in the past week.

    Unthought Known... simply for the Gems and Rhinestones part of the song... it makes me all goose pimpley.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
  • we have a winner,,come on :D
    Unthought Known... ;)
