    I know what you mean, dude. I understand why people are coming down on you because that's how people usually respond to stuff around here but I know you probably didn't mean a carbon copy of PF.

    I've had the same thought and it's more about writing with some space and atmosphere, which Pearl Jam can and has done. This is why Binaural is my favorite PJ record. I wish they'd lay off the poppy punk stuff and sappy love songs and write with more depth and metaphor as they have in the past.

    I'm making some assumptions about where you're coming from exactly, but this is how I think of it when I think of the two bands.

    You assume correctly. We have some great musicians that are being underutilized.

    Oh my god, no! That would be like saying "I wish Neil Young sounded like The Eagles". Well, to my ears anyway. I'm happy with the way PJ writes PJ songs. :D

    We've had some comments about the new album that
    Jeff: wandering at uncomfortable zones
    Mike: Pinkfloydish
    Brendan: deep

    But the first 3 songs we heard had simplistic melody structures.

    I hope the rest of the album will provide that taste fitting to the descriptions above.
    What's your part, who you are?

    2012: Arras, Berlin 1-2
    2013: Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires
    2014: Milano, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin
    2016: NY MSG 1

    No, he left - didn't renew his membership.

    Wow, what a bummer. I wonder why. I mean, I know he hasn't been into the music for awhile but he was a cool dude to have around here.

    He said he just wanted to move on to other things, basically. Plus, I think he was sick of being targeted by the mods so much.
    Yeah, he was fun to have around, so too bad he's gone!

    Pendulum is so rad.....it could be classified as a Pink Floydish cut. Love it.

    After hearing the Bogota version of Comfortably Numb - god I wish they would do more songs of their own like Mother and Comfortably Numb.

    I love Floyd, but I don't need any band being like any other band. The more unique the better.
