    I'm listening to the track by track on Sirius...my opinions of course

    Invincible: Starts off a little strange but decent song. Probably better live than studio.
    Power of Right: Starts great...love it. Should have been a PJ song. I could do without the clapping.
    Long Way: No...not interested. I love that he loves it enough to write it though.
    Brother the Cloud: Good song...reminds me of Swallowed Whole. Could have been PJ. I don't care a lot for the bridge.
    Fallout Today: It's ok
    The Dark: Another ok song.
    The Haves: No...but I don't like any slow tunes. I can see why some people like it but it makes me want to jump out a window
    Good and Evil: Yeah...kick ass. Should have been PJ. QOTSA vibe big time with that riff.
    Rose of Jericho: I like the tempo...love the riff. 
    Try: I'll try to like this but I can't. That harmonica is irritating
    Picture: Ok...nice to collaborate
    Mrs Mills: Ok...another nice collaboration with one of the GOATs. Tries a little too much to sound like the Beatles
    On my Way: meh

    Not a bad album. I would have a lot of skips but I really love a few of the songs


    Woah QOTSA jumped out to me too when I first listened to Good and Evil - it's gotta be the heart pounding/pumping floor toms, classic QOTSA. Feels like a train running down the tracks (see Go with the Flow).

    It’s a pretty good album overall. Happy to have more Vedder for sure.

    Definitely some good songs here. I've only been able to listen to it while working, so I'm not going to judge yet. Looking forward to putting some headphones on this weekend and getting a good immersion before I form too many opinions. .

    To me that’s great if it in fact is. Riot act is probably my favourite PJ album

    I have some recency bias too as I saw the tour… I was not into this album at all until I saw it live. That being said, I’m digging all the new songs, although unsure about the Elton song and Mrs. Mills is just ok. 


    This is exactly where I'm at.  Admittedly did not like 2 of the first 3 songs...AT ALL.  Now having seen them performed live, they've grown on me much more.  It is a polarizing album.  Some songs I'm very much digging and some that I know I'll never listen to again.  Consensus seems to be the Elton John song is a one and done for many, and I'm in that camp.  Look forward to several more listens of the album as a whole though.
    On a side note, Andrew Watt is an absolute beast.  This kid can really play and is a great live performer.  I wouldn't be upset having him show up for some PJ gigs.  McCready and him playing together would be a treat.

    I think the singing on on my way is Ed’s dad. I thought he said he used a track of his to close out the record

    Just got an email from Ticketmaster offering me 15% off the new album. Good old Ticketmaster.

    I'll never have the need or desire to listen to the song with Elton John again.  
    It's a fucking painful listen for me 😂 I do like alot of the songs on the album though
