That's probably just for overseas distribution, but time will tell.

I'd strongly assume they'll release at least a single 6/2 after playing it on Conan. After that, I'd think you'd want to keep that momentum going by having the album out no later than August -- which also makes sense in terms of having it out before the tour.

which explains the real reason they're doing conan.

oh to also wish for a bonus dvd of the writing/recording process with the album would be every pj fan's dream....something similiar to QOTSA lullabies cd/dvd would be great!

I remember seeing a site showing release dates for upcoming albums. It sad Pearl Jam in June.

Maybe MIke and Stone were fucking with us and its more completed then we think. I personally think it will be out in July.

That's an interesting thought. All we really know for sure is they have two huge motivators (Conan and the tour) for releasing it before the fall.

i'm thinking the autumn. why? b/c mike recently said autumn, actually late autumn. i'm not thinking late autumn, probably more like september.


why do conan now? why not?
it's a big coup for them both. big name band for his opening night....band linked with big opening show of new tonight show. win-win for both! generate buzz for both! this is for june 1st...who's to say pj can't play conan again in 3-4 months time when the new album releases? personally, i do not forsee a digital release preemptive of a hard copy, but who knows.....that's another discussion.

End of June, early July.

who says they do? My guess is they are more interested in releasing physical copies of the new music, artwork and packaging included.

yea...i don't get the rush, now. 3 years have already gone by sinc eht elast album release, we're in the home stretch....what's the rush, or to think they'd want to hurry, to get it in fan's hands NOW? perhaps i am old school, but i really hope they release the hard copy album first, or at least simultaneously, with any digital DLs offerred. i don't need it *today*...i just want pj to put out the best album they can, on their schedule....and enjoy the build-up and anticipation to it's release.


i don't understand why so many think playing conan on june 1st precludes instant album release. i think it's a great tease is all.........

Doing Conan on June 1st is POINTLESS unless you're actually promoting something to be out rather quickly within the performance date...sure it's not pointless to the fans, but in the actuality of it, a band like Green Day (who's struggling with first week sales compared to American Idiot) should've tried for that spot on Conan.

They have sold 91,797 copies out of roughly 56% of retailers reporting (in the US)....they shipped out 650K cd's in anticipation of first week sales.

Just stating logistics here people.

or maybe Neil Young will join PJ for a song on Conan...his album is releasing on June 2nd hahaha

All I hope for is that on Conan's premiere Will Ferrell comes out and plays dome damn cowbell.



Josh Homme can take it. Why can't PJ?

Because on a logistical and marketing standpoint, it's pointless.

First I want Will to be on bass, and it'll take PJ a moment to realize it's not Jeff. I think they look similar. ...then Jeff can come from behind the stage like he was hit on the head by Will, but they'll let Will play cowbell instead.

Not as similar as these two.

Eh, not necessarily. Yeah, most bands only do talk shows to promote an album, but maybe because this is Conan's first one, the band is helping him out. Conan seems to be a pretty legit guy, so there could be a possibility that he and the band are friends (The White Stripes did play his last show on late night without an album (hell, Jack has two more recent albums with two bands other than the White Stripes.).

norm

there will probably be something...maybe a single released but full album...considering they just finished (or maybe still are) mixing it, there still needs to a title, artwork etc....album in september, october at the latest according to what band members have said
