    The Gigaton tour also needed finishing before more music came out

    “We made this record like a year ago," Ament told the audience. “We’ve been sitting on it.”

    “Gigaton” surprised many fans and critics with how hard-rocking it was. The new one goes even harder. It's almost athletic in its speed, aggression, and tenacity, sounding like it would make men of their age sore in the aftermath.

    While Vedder remains the face and voice of the band, the star of this album is drummer Matt Cameron, who joined the Jam in 1998 after starting out with Soundgarden.

    His relentless pounding opens many of the 11 tracks, and drowns out his bandmates' playing and Vedder's vocals at times.

    “It's one of the greatest drum records we’ve ever made,” Vedders said to cheers from a crowd that included Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. “Matt Cameron is just playing out of his skull, especially seeing as how it’s our last record.”

    Gigaton was hard rocking?  
    Lmao, exactly my thought

    I am excited.  I can find enjoyment in however the album sounds honestly.  I am really just happy they are still here and making music and touring when they can.  I am happy I am still here to get to listen!  I loved the new painted shield single. I bet I will love the new PJ stuff as well.
    Exactly. Same here. I am so happy and grateful that we still have PJ playing live and making new music and being excited about what they are putting out there. I'm so so excited.
    👍

    I thought I read that it was tongue in cheek somewhere, like Ed's "last record" joke, but that may have just been wishful thinking during the moment.

    these two statements go together. I'm not in the industry but usually takes a while to release a big band's album with marketing, releases, lining up with a tour. They were talking about recording new music in 2022.

    If the 2023 quote is from the interview I think it was, he was also clearly annoyed that Stone had said the album was close to done. 

    I love Jeff. I don't trust him to tell us the truth on these things.

    If they dropped the album this afternoon I’d be surprised. He should do that.

    the absolutely do not. "a few things recorded" 6 months after it was "in the can" are not at all the same thing.

    Argh. I had a pretty good feeling that if I went over there today, I would have been able to hear this from the back alley. I used to live 1,000 feet from the Troubadour. If I still lived there, it would have been a no-brainer. But for some reason, I decided it wasn't worth risking a 20-minute drive over there without actual knowledge that the event was taking place (which I only sort of had as of early this afternoon). Kicking myself.
    Dude i wouldnt worry, hearing an album partially through walls and catching snippets in low quality sound really isnt the way you want to hear the new stuff. It'll soon be out, and you can sit back with a beer or two, with your lossless headphones on and savour it fresh. Its the best way. 
    From the sound of that back-alley recording, it actually sounds like it was crystal-clear in the alley (if not on the recording).

    I don't have headphones, but I will definitely look forward to listening to the record in SurroundSound in my living room on on full blast in my car while enjoying an ice-cold Diet Coke. But none of that would have been spoiled by getting a preview yesterday. Mainly, it's just that it would have been so easy for me to go over there that I'm kicking myself.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    But Jeff’s the one who does most of the art direction, so when Stone’s work is finished he still has all of that left to do. He might honestly have a very different idea of “finished” than the other guys.

    I was told by Josh last June that the recording of the album was done, so I never took Jeff's comments seriously.
