    I always thought Alice in Chains records had the best production out of the Seattle scene.  Had more polish to them.  Don't mind seeing what Watt will bring to the table.  It will be a jolt I'm sure from the minimalist approach we are used to.

    If Andrew Watt is "super polished" and before has been a "minimalist approach". Then I'm lost. Because I don't hear much being minimalist about the last releases, or most stuff PJ have released. Sounds like stuff has been tinkered with and sculpted a bunch.

    I think Nirvana had the best production out of Seattle, in that the albums feel very live and direct. But not sloppy or lo-fi ofc. Bit I respect the artistic throughline sonically of Ten. Everything is soaked in the same vibe and atmosphere. Like a wave you follow through the whole album.

    Here's what Stone had to say re: "Running" in the Spin interview...

    On ‘Running,’ it’s rare to hear a Pearl Jam song with this chant-y, gang vocal chorus. It just sounds like fun.

    Jeff had the main parts for that one, and we worked it over as a band. I love the bridge. I don’t know what the hell those chords are that Mike’s playing, but it sounds original. It’s one of the last ones we recorded at Shangri-La, and it was fun to come up with one more uptempo song. Ed’s vocal dexterity here and on a few other spots on the album is just stunning. Same thing goes with that second verse of ‘React, Respond’ where he’s almost frickin’ rapping.

    Yes, Rick died in 2014. He not only produced Ten, which is one of my eleven favorite Pearl Jam albums, but he also produced Blind Melon, which is probably one of my three favorite albums by any artist. Rest in peace, Rick.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Even more important than production imo is song order. Pearl Jam always starts with a rocker, then mid tempo by song 3, crappier songs in 9/10 spot and slow end song. Was hoping this would break that pattern….

    You can play the songs in whichever order you like, but you can't undo the production.

    I pointed my flip phone at the sky and it played all 48 minutes of the album. Thanks, Pearl Jam, for continuing to embrace old-school technology.
    I bet your arm is tired and your battery is shot.
    Are you kidding? The battery lasts forever on that thing.

    It’s odd that it’s been over a week with no follow up clips. 

    What a sputter

    They should do at least one a week since the album is 3 weeks away!

    We are three weeks out from the album being widely listened to (theaters). 3 per week with 9 songs to go, you would think. Who knows. The promotion for this record, thus far, has not seemed to have any real strategy. Maybe they’re thinking they’ll do most of the heavy lifting after it’s out?

    They're enjoying their biggest hit in 18 years. They're doing something right.

    The music is the hit. It sells itself.  A completely separate idea from what I'm addressing, which is a deliberate marketing strategy for the record.

    Don't conflate the two - distinct concepts.
