    Even with the pics, I'm not 100% confident this is true.
    What the fuck is this world?

    Wow... The album track list may have leaked and the whole album is already evaluated and judged. Real music critics around here...

    Me for one, I am excited about these titles. They are not any worse than let say "Love Boat Captain", (yyikkkess) "Marker in the Sand", "Breakerfall" etc. One thing I learned over the years with Pearl Jam is that the context of the song is way more important than the title.

    And as far album length's goes: I remember when RA came out everyone was excited about the length of the album. Still, in my opinion at least, it's not their best album. So therefore. length doesn't matter ;) (Girls agree?)

    For the Germans among us: what does the article say, for I saw that there is also an interview in there.

    Ps: one song that sounds like it would have come off Vitalogy???? (If I read it correctly.) Nice!

    I remember a while back someone posted on here saying they wanted Pearl Jam to do a punk album...maybe this will be the closest thing we'll get to that!

    i've been saying this since Yeild. Fuck i hope this album rocks hard as fuck!

    Funny, I've been wishing PJ would stop putting a bunch crappy generic punk filler on every album since Yield ;) Their best songs are classic rock, not punk.

    Agh, who gives a monkey's nutsack if the album is 36 minutes long. I don't believe the article to be true anyway because those song titles are from other bands.

    R.E.M's Accelerate was their best album in years and that clocked in at under 40 minutes. Stop moaning.

    Yes, but REM's album was a return to their strengths and the style that made them one of the best bands in the world. By all accounts I have seen, the new material is a further abandonment of all their strengths in order to pursue paths they've already taken that generally result in a lot of utterly forgettable songs.

    No doubt. But are the rest of us supposed to resign or fake it or otherwise swallow our opinion just becos we don't like the new stuff as much?

    By all you have seen? Have you heard the album? Heard anymore songs than the ones that have leaked? Or are you speculating? Seems like you build your opinion on premisses.

    And what exactly have we seen? We've heard Got Some on Conan, but apart from that all we've heard is a terribly recording of The Fixer and an average recording of a solo performance of a song called The End which could turn out to be a full band version so we have no idea of it's potential. Hell, even Got Some didn't sound great because it wasn't mixed right and it was the first performance.

    Also, 99% of feedback regarding The End has been nothing but positive so how can you say it's an abandonment of their strengths? I think some people need to just have a little more faith.

    But this is what bothers me: one song (Got Some) was aired, The End was played live (and so was Unthought Unknown) and there was a very crappy leak of The Fixer. Beyond that, all the songs are unknown. Not one studio song was leaked. To each their own. And you don't have to swallow at all. But, to use an expression, "don't judge a book by its cover." Just wait and then decide...

    I for one like to anticipate and not drive myself crazy with (maybe) unfounded opinions.

    Whether its accurate or not is not my point. I'm pointing out that the article is being sincere and not a hoax.

    No one would go through that much trouble to get a little kick on this message board.

    for sure - i can´t understand those sceptical here on the board. -- just look at these pictures - if more germans would be on the board they would told you the same (like myownblacksundown). just wait, i think whitin the next days there will be more international magazins shows reports out of the pearl jam studio like visons did. the visons magazin is the bigges alternativ rock zine in germany and that for more than 15 years - and this is NOT the april issue! :D
