I started this insane thing, so here we go. Nice little time capsul:
So what have we learned between 90 and 80 days:
- we have seen the cover of the new album
- we know it's title
- we heard three songs: MYM, LB and FD
What have we learned between 80 and 70 days:
- The Mike McReady wrote the music for MYM
- That he came up with the title of the song (unclear)
- That the album took 1.5 years to make over two sessions
- That the song Sirens is confirmed
- That there are songs on the album that are over 5 minutes and that BOB consider some of the songs "deep"; at least more in-depth than BS.
- That there is also a song on there with the elusive title "Infallible-or something"
What have we learned between 70 and 60 days:
- Very little really. We have a vague unconfirmed tracklist with of course MYM, FD, LB and Sirens, Infallible and SBM. But also other interesting titles like: Apollo, Post Script, Sane and Tame and probably the most anticipated songtitle in the whole PJ catalogue: *Where is the Sponge*.
Where indeed...
What have we learned between 60 and 50 days:
- We saw the new MYM music video and the video, no matter what your take on it is, sparked some discussions
(a very interesting review on TSIS)
- There will be a listening party the third of september with Brendan O'Brien at the Ramones Museum in Berlin
- Niall Doherty, the review editor of Q magazine in the UK supposedly tweeted re. the title song of the album (and did he hear the whole album?): Title track of the new Pearl Jam album is the best of all their worlds: hard, heavy, a ballad, lighter-waver, fire-starter, epic & intimate.
What have we learned between 50 and 40 days:
Exciting, exciting times.
- The tracklist was released in a most ingineous way, that also immidiatly introduced the artwork of the album. It at least got me hooked for a week on this forum
- There were some listening parties where the reviews were mixed but were overall positive and gave the impression that this album is going to be a slow burner
- And we learned that this is a moodier album with some "experimental" elements and from what I can read some very dark lyrics
- we also learned that the "handclap" is possibly in Let the Records Play and that violin is used in Future Days
- It is unclear if the strange distorted guitar/ piano introduced to us on the very first trailer will appear on the album. If it is on there, it is probably on Pendelum, but unclear
- Official reviews started leaking in
- and it is confirmed now: SBM is on the album and it seems a lighter version than the Uke version; in the sense that the tonation in the lyrics have changed. (Maybe a good transition after the supposed "fun" Let the Records Play?)
- we saw a vignette of Ed Vedder writing the lyrics for MYM and having a severe case of writers block
If I forgot something, just add...
