New Album without BoB

How does everyone feel about him not producing the new album. Do you like Brendan O'Brien or do you think they will be better without him? I'm hoping more and longer McCready solos. Can only hope :)

    I think something new is going to be a welcoming change. Not here to bash Brendan or his style but I am very curious and hyped to see what they come up with without him.

    Yeah. BOB has been awesome with PJ. But as a fan I'm excited that they might be trying something different.

    It’s always good to mix it up a bit. He’s great, but I’m excited to hear how this sounds.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    We could probably have a better feel for it if we knew who is the new producer?

    someone on reddit or something assumed it was Jack White producing because he was in Hawaii at Eddie's house when the skater leaked that he had heard the record. I thought that was a crazy assumption at the time but now hearing that BOB did not produce the record I don't think its so crazy!

    This is how I feel. BOB has been great for PJ overall. Some missteps more recently but still more good than average. But a new producer just adds to the excitement as it adds to the uncertainty.

    Excited to read this news. I enjoyed Backspacer and Lightning Bolt but am hoping the new album gets a little more experimental ala Binaural/Riot Act/Avacado.

    Fingers crossed it's Jack White - it's now or never! 
    Imagine this: album of the year "Gigaton" by Pearl Jam. Dark new wave vibe, synths, Binaural feeling, no more 2min punk-rockers and folk ballads. Can't wait!

  • Jack White would for sure have more McCready shredding... I'm down for that

    For real though. Do it for Chris Cornell. The way he talks about Mike on Pj Twenty that's how all of us feel... Let the guy go off

    Idk... I think if it were Jack White we would have known, between this rabid fan base & his... its tough to keep that a secret. Takes time to produce a record, not just Jack visiting Ed over a weekend in Hawaii. He’s kinda busy guy

    12 min. track with a wild guitar solo as in Reach Down. It's a must!

    I'm not sure. BoB was amazing for those earlier albums, but not quite as much on the last few.   Probably doesn't hurt to try using someone new.

    Haha yeah. Deleted from that post was the guy hinting he had heard the new Pearl Jam record at Eddie's house with JW in attendance. Putting two and two together someone speculated that the occasion was a private listening party for the new JW produced PJ album.
