I hope this album is 12 songs that sound exactly like Santa Cruz, all named after towns in California.
Santa Cruz
Santa Barbara
Santa Clara
San Dimas
San Luis Obispo
It will be great!
Hey now!!!!
Don't forget about the albums first single: "San Pedro"
Featuring a guest appearance by Mike Watt on bass w/ Boom Gasper on Lead Vocals and Mike McCready on Electric Tuba.
I'm told that Eddie let Tim Robbins and Sean Penn write 99.9% of the lyrics.
Also...Stone Gossard doesn't even play a single note on the album until about the six song and it's mostly just light acoustic strumming.
Apparently, Jeff's bass is WAY DOWN in the mix and Matt Cammeron mostly plays with brushes rather than drum sticks.
New sound. Very Mellow.
I think they are only going to tour this album in major North American markets.
The tour will be sponsered by Live Nation as well as the "In & Out Burger" franchise.
T-shirts will $75.00 Plain white and read: MERRY CHRISTMAS on the front
and FUCK THE SOUTH on the back.
I wonder if Eddie is going to perform his "ballad" at any of his upcoming solo shows?

First, agree this album will come sooner than we think. In age of internet leaks, the longer a finished product lies around, the more potential for leakage. Not saying its done, but if this is true, then sounds like done or near done.
Second, the NME blog was more a generic description then a review of any sort. "Punchy" "raspy" "honeyed" doesn't really provide any opinion. Is punchy a good thing or bad thing? Not bashing the guy as I gather he did on the fly and he said he was still trying to digest. Just saying I couldn't too read much out of it.
Finally in the event it does have a a No Code or Yield feel that would be outstanding.

I've been a PJ fan for many years, and have seen many album releases, and the snippets we're hearing here, I get the feeling they will drop this album on us. This is the strangest promotion of an album up to date. (Maybe doing nothing is promotion by itself?) And I like it! I agree, I think this album will be here sooner than we think... And for me: I'm looking forward to the acoustic song in the middle. I love it when songs are stripped down. (In the same way I like spoken word.) I'm officially excited!!!
It's been discussed in a few other threads where consensus is that it is an unauthorized interview disk. It has nothing to do with the new album. **EDIT**

It's been discussed in a few other threads where consensus is that it is an unauthorized interview disk. It has nothing to do with the new album. A dead giveaway is that the picture of PJ on the cover is a promo shot taken around the time Yield was released (If I'm not mistaken, that is. I didn't pay any attention between 2001-2006)
You know what? Seattle was amazing - I had such an amazing time, met so many amazing people and went so many amazing places. Pearl Jam, and all the people who work with them, were brilliant. The interviews were good, as I posted the other day, the record is my favourite in years (since 'Yield' at least), and they were kind enough to invite us into their warehouse-cum-HQ, where they rehearse, run their fanclub, produce their merchandise, and keep all the stuff they've accumulated over the years (boxes upon boxes of fan letters stretching back decades, the original cut out letters from the 'Ten' sleeve, a collection of surf boards with the bands portraits on them... and I'll save the rest of the details for the forthcoming NME piece!) For a Pearl Jam fan, it's Mecca! That said, I think my favourite part of the entire trip, was when - upon leaving - Jeff Ament (who'd remembered that I'd said I was a big Black Flag fan when I was interview him) came running out of the warehouse - in an orange Venom shirt! - to give me a copy of the new record by Deranged Diction, his old/reformed hardcore band. Nice guy...

...the record is my favourite in years (since 'Yield' at least)...
Can anyone qualify this guy's tastes? Cuz honestly I thought "Pearl Jam" was the bands best album since Yield.
Tough to qualify anybodies tastes because we wall have different opinions.
I think Yield is better than anything they've put out since then. Binaural is close behind. Riot Act and S/T are just okay
not to mention he's probbaly only heard it 1-3 times so it's tough to really say
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
Saying that this album is his "Favorite since Yield" makes this excruciating wait for this goddamn album to drop even harder.
I mean, how in the Holy Skateboarding Jesus Christ are we expected to sit around and wait patiently until "Sometime In The Late Fall" with this kind of talk being tossed around?
This is borderline cruelty to all of us devoted fiends.
If this album is even half the size of "Yield" I'm surely going to have to commit to the fact that 2010 is going to be and expensive and grueling year of following this goddamn band all over hells half acre.

BEST SINCE YIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????? Holy f'in shit. Hopefully he has similar feeling about PJ albums as I.
I wouldn't get too excited. Each of the last 3 albums has had the "hardest rocking since vs" or "best since yield" moniker. And honestly, you could say s/t was their best since Yield... and you could be right... but that doesn't mean it's a particularly great album. I'm always pretty skeptical when I read claims like this. As you acknowledge, it doesn't give much info unless you know the guy's tastes, ie. why didn't he like the last few and why does he like Yield?
There is a new album on the way? Anyone know when it's gonna drop?
