    while i strongly disagree, i still feel that's an argument worth making.......its not asinine to think the way you do. into the wild is a really really good record

    ITW didn't impress me much. Half the songs last 1:30-2:00 which is fine for a movie, but I really hoped they would have some additional verses. Just as you get into them they stop. The quality is generally good but doesn't seem to get where the song should be going.

    I first played the disk on my PC and actually thought I bumped fastforward or the disk skippped.....or something. I couldn't figure out why the tracks were so short.

  • ITW was a good Record. ITW was a phenomenal soundtrack. I saw the movie about 2 weeks ago, and some of the songs are haunting reminders of the movie...EV did a very very good job.

    But the songs are just too short to compare to PJ albums. I personally enjoy Binaural & PJ, riot act too. Sure, they ain't the best PJ albums but they are good listens.

    NOT The Ghostbuster Soundtrack.
  • ITW can barely be called an album. its more like a EP of quick little experiments. Plus it has 2 covers.

    Agreed; although it is beautiful and brilliant, it's not in the league of a PJ album.

    If all of PJ's material sounded like ITW, this place would have about 30 members.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    ITW is amazing. For such a short album there's such a variety of emotions. Just as good as any PJ album to me. It's really a refreshing album.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    tho an AMAZING record, I have to disagree with Binaural, altho maybe i add Vitology to the list (yes flame away, thas just how i feel)
    and here is some food for thought... is it just me, or does Into The Wild almost feel like a nice sequal to Yield?
    peace

    Do not taint the supremacy of Yield with comparisons to an album sorely lacking in electric guitars.

  • I agree that it is better than Riot Act and maybe on a bad day, Binaural. But Avocado? You must not have listened to that album because it straight up owns Into the Wild. To me, if you don't like the most recent Pearl Jam album, you really aren't a fan of this band.

    ITW < anything Stone, Jeff, Mike or Matt have played on.

    Not sure that it even approaches any rock album recorded in the last 40 years.

    IMO EV solo = crap
