edited September 2013 in The Porch
I'm sure it is the first of many magazine reviews but I thought some people might be interested in this.
It is in November's edition of Q Magazine, due to hit shops in the UK on Tuesday (I get early copies).
(I hope you can zoom in on the pics)

    "Pearl Jam won't ever change up their alt-rock sound".... What's with all these fucking idiot music journalists? Oh wait, they've always been there.

    Thanks for posting! I like the picture. Wish I could read the whole review.

    I hate when a review focuses on the band's past before getting to the current music. Its a review of the album, not the band.

    If you're on fb, various people have shared my photo and you can zoom in on the photo and read the review.

    I am on Facebook. No PJ friends so wouldn't know where to look.

    LB doesnt sound REM to me. Its definitely a continuation of the Backspacer sound.... a mixture of "Force of Nature"(lyrics/theme), "Amongst the Waves" and some " Unthought Known".
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    If you click on the photos that dottles has in her initial post then it should open up to photobucket which you can then zoom from there. I too was intrigued by that logo.

    Downloads at the end of the review? That's basically how they highlight their favourite songs from the album, those they've identified as being key tracks.

    Sorry, I probably won't have time to transcribe. On the photos on fb (and I guess on photobucket when it's back up) you can read the text if zoomed on the photo.
    If not the magazine will be in shops soon.

    I feel cheesy for saying it but my favorite part of this is seeing how happy they all look together in that picture. Especially Ed and Stone laughing together.

    Ahhh, ok. It sounded like they were made these songs available as downloads on their website or something. I don't have the picture in front of me, which were the highlights according to them? I remember Getaway and ....
