Enjoyed this one even though you two were more than kind to the album. It's definitely in position 10 out of 10 in my album rankings. With this said, it's not all bad... it's just that these songs pale in comparison when put next to their earlier work  

I can’t argue with that last sentence! 
I did get a Muse playlist but your list has a few extra tracks that I’ll add to it. Thanks!

I steered clear of Muse's last few albums when I made my list. The more recent tracks aren't quite as good. Hmmmmmm...sounds familiar.

This week, we take a trip to the Songwriter's Corner. Most band members just lend their voices on an instrument to a song written by someone else. Pearl Jam is unique in that every member is not only a top notch player, but also a top notch songwriter. So, from time to time, we will be featuring our favorite songs written a specific band member. This week is the mighty Mike McCready! Of course we will also be digging in to emails and the Pearl Jam Story of the Week! Enjoy!

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I find myself listening less and less as the email portion takes up far too much time.  I'll skip ahead and try to find when you start talking about the theme of the episode, but probably miss some that way.  I like the discussion around the theme, but it just takes too long to get there.  Just my two cents.

Seriously, thank you for the feedback.

 We just dropped a bonus episode which features no email at all! It’s my review of Wrigley II.

And as always, we read some emails and tell a Listener’s Pearl Jam Story.

Surely the band was listening to the last episode and elected Mike to hoist the flag!

Join us as we go back to July 11, 1995, when Pearl Jam played Chicago’s Soldier Field. We discuss this incredible performance, read a Pearl Jam Story and get in to some of your emails. We’re available on most podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, etc., and Youtube. 

In case you somehow missed it, this concert is available as an official bootleg (on cd or digital download) in the shop at https://pearljam.com/shop/music/chicago-7111995-vault-7-digital-download

Go get it!

Thanks again for reading my PJ Story at the top of the show this week. Soldier Field 95, what a crazy show. My first memory of that show was hearing the "Let My Love Open The Door" cover and just marveling at how great it was. I like that they take a few risks with some of the covers they do. You're also right about that Rockin' in the Free World from the VMA's feeling a bit slowed down, especially in comparison to some of the versions PJ has played but there is something magical about that version with Neil on stage in front of a VMA type crowd just soloing and rocking out that was perfect. Keep up the good work fellas.

Love Soldier Field. Three takeaways from the podcast:

1. "It's Okay" is the most epic tag of not only Daughter but maybe of any song.

2. Let My Love Open The Door is their greatest cover- hope they bring it back this summer.

3. Brad B should have kept on with the podcast while Brad L went to take a piss. It would have been awkwardly funny.

Always looking for a new podcast to try out...

@Brad Lyons: Maybe I missed it on one of your podcasts but what bands did you play in/for - or are you a solo artist? Not to sound creepy (seriously) but I looked you up (googled your name) and stumbled upon an album called "Ten Steps." Is that yours?

1. 100% agree. 
2. I want to agree but I’d have to think about that one. There’s a lot of great covers by them. 
3. Wish I had thought of that. Next time!

NEW EPISODE! Time to dig in to Mad Season. Two hosts, two very different perspectives. As well as this week's installment of Pearl Jam Story Time, and a few listener emails. 

Available on Apple Podcasts and most podcast apps. YouTube should be up soon.

In the middle of listening - definitely a few deja vu moments, all good though.

And hey, the "two hosts...different perspectives" is what makes your pod enjoyable.

Without a little friction life would be cold and miserable.
