Has the new album brought in new fans?

Just wondering. They promoted the hell out of it, but there doesn't seem to be many new folks on the board anyway.

Are you a long time fan and just new to the boards or a new fan?
My 2 year old likes the new album too. She insists on "new songs" when we get in the car.

I wouldn't use this board as a barometer for new fans: That being said, I doubt the new album converted anyone.
I played Getaway and MYM for a buddy of mine in the car. He previously only knew the old, old PJ and said he was never really a fan, but he really liked those two songs. Does that make him a fan though, not really. But another friend of mine was always a fair weather fan of PJ until the last three albums, which have made him into a real fan. And right now LB is his favourite.

Through no fault of their own, I think it's REALLY tough for bands that have been around over 20 years (hell even 10 probably) to bring in new fans. You may get some that "forgot" about them for a while and have come back or the second-generation fan who likes what he hears during the World Series, but as a rule it's just a hard thing to do.

It depends. The OP was asking specifically about the new album bringing in fans, so if by chance some parents have withheld the music of Pearl Jam until now then I guess so. But I know that my son has been going to sleep to lots of different music his whole life (not to mention in the car) including the more "safe" PJ albums, so he's quite familiar with them.

This is it. There will always be a constant inflow of new fans. As long as 22 years of PJ music is standing there. Doesn't matter if there is a new album out there, or not.

Yeah, I agree. Just wish I had gotten into them sooner.

Welcome Chrissy. From your show list it's looks like you're making up for lost time quick!
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead...overhead...”
Thanks! And that was the plan.
