Nice work, so far band and crew!  Excitement generated, check.  Great artwork, check.  Can’t wait to hear the music!

..and to all of those people already complaining- I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be you.  I really hope you’re not standing next to me at the shows!  I don’t want/need your negative energy.

Rock on everybody!

    I agree! I think it’s great. I remember they did something similar when announcing the PJ20 tracklist.

    Agreed. Very fun. Great way to spend a Friday, even if its just refreshing here and twitter.

    The bands team put 11 posters/billboards up all over the world. Using an AR app on Instagram, taking a picture of the image (which reads GIGATON in the heartbeat font that the band revealed this morning on social media) plays a 14 second animated clip of waterfalls falling off an iceberg and revealing the PJ logo from this morning. There is a bit of audio, but no discernable music. 

    It appears PJ announced the title and album art of their next album OR single. The choice of 11 spots has people speculating the LP will have 11 tracks.

    Personally, I'm feeling this part a little less now that we know the billboards are all the same. Could be 11 tracks but who knows.

    What if the secret to Pearl Jam was the friends we made along the way? 

    I just left a soaked parking lot in Belltown with a bunch of soaked people asking, "Are you getting anything?" It was like a bunch of people eating edibles trying to figure out if they were high. Fucking hilarious.

    You dont need to do anything.   You just had to wait until someone else figured it out, and they did.

    I’m also 45, stressed, and fatigued with the sameness of daily life. To me this was an interesting change of pace. I don’t use any social media but thinking of a community of fans all over the world getting hyped about new music makes me smile.

    Does anyone know how long these were up? The coolest part is you could have walked by it for weeks without having any idea it was Pearl Jam related.

    This marketing strategy is also a useful way to collect data on fans/consumers. For instance, way back when, having fans buy a membership provided the club information provided by their credit cards pertaining to name/address. This bit allows the fan club to track the location and number of fans which may not be accessing the ten club, thereby providing personal location... Call me paranoid.

    Good point.  For instance, I pointed my Nokia flip phone at the billboard and it exploded.  Now they know that- not only is my sweater flammable- but I’m obviously going to need a new phone as well..

    It’s a rock band! Not an Orwellian surveillance system! (I hope).

    Loved this, I didn't bother either.  If I had the time, maybe.  I'll just wait for the new music and tour announcements.  I did hear a title of one of the songs today which intrigued me, I believe it will be the first single.  Not 100% sure so don't want to spread rumors.
