It's a perfect album to play on the deck for me this summer while I strum my ukulele along with Ed!!!!!

I'm with RM22. I spend the summers at my mountain cabin with my guitar and uke, and now I even get a songbook with all the lyrics and chords to learn on the uke! What is better than that?

Ummm....maybe spending summers at your mountain cabin with a woman.

You should see what he does to that ukulele when the sun goes down ...

Yes there is a woman, and what happens when the sun goes down is for me to know!

But maybe if he made an album like Chris Cornell's Scream, maybe I might not like that.

oh, good Lord. Thank God we don't have to deal with that kind of thing. Yes, we've got helicopter-shot videos, and suit-and-tie photo shoots for an album full of happy, wistful love songs - but I will take that ANY day over a Timbaland-produced album, or a duet with Pink, or an appearance on Idol, an attempt to write a musical about a superhero (sorry Bono) etc, etc...

Changing with age, yes. But still graceful.

I personally like the Uke Songs album a lot. I liked ITW a lot too - but then again, I'm always gravitating to songs like Fatal, Off He Goes, Dead Man Walking, and a lot of the mellow songs, so it wasn't a huge stretch for me -

I had no interest in it at all. Then for some reason a week or so ago my interest spiked. right now Im back where I started. I previewed a few songs on itunes and heard a few full ones and didnt really like any of it.

I just want that damn blu ray of the tour.

i have all the solo stuff and out of them i play into the wild the most..then the three fish albums ..you need to be in the correct mood to listen to three fish..but they are good..just not pj...but they are not meant to be..

bayleaf has not been played for years or jeffs solo stuff..even tres mtn got a few plays and is now put away..

as for Brad its more about shawn smiths great voice then stone..so i look at them as a different band not a pearl jam side project.


but wew could do with a mike solo album btw

I have all the solo stuff, side projects, etc. And the best of all of them was actually Mike's...in Mad Season. But then, I was (and will remain forever) a huge Layne Staley fan...so that helps too. If Layne had been able to get it and keep it together, Mad Season would have had real potential, IMO. I probably play Mad Season's "Above" more than any of the PJ members other individual/side project stuff...then next would probably come Into The Wild.

I do play Mother Love Bone stuff with regularity, however....and Green River as well (although slightly less so than MLB). And Temple of the Dog is still in rotation too.

But none of it approaches the standard set by the members of this band working together on a PJ album. There is a synergy there that I just don't thing can be duplicated. I think the side projects are interesting diversions for them...and for the hard core fans. But I don't think even the band members expect those records to be as popular as the PJ releases.

not planning on buying this one for now. I may regret not buying the LP while available, but 30 min of uke is not for me.

Annoying would resume it for me, but c´mon man. Don´t say it on the title!

How is the thread title offensive?

He didn't call Eddie an arsehole. He said the album is anoying. Which to him and others, me included, it is.

I have to say I am very disappointed in this album. I don't like it at all. I am a big Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder fan, they are my favorite band, seen them 43 times and seeing them 10 times on this upcoming tour so I am not trying to be a hater but a just don't like this album at all. There is a rumor going around that he will only play mostly this album on this tour and if he does I will sell both of my Beacon show tix.

It stands to reason that he'll play alot from this album on the tour but to sell your tickets because you don't like the album...... :roll: He's still going to play ITW and PJ songs and what other gems he throws out there!!! Maybe after the show you will find a new love for songs from this album?

I can't comment on whether I like the album or not yet, I have the download from 10C but I'm waiting til the cd arrives in the post before listening to it

Gotta agree..."simply annoying" isn't offensive at all. If someone started a thread called "Creed - simply annoying" or "Justin Bieber - simply annoying" I'm pretty sure no-one would say the title of the thread is annoying!!!!

i had to drive 3 hrs today...but this album made it feel like a trip to the local dairy barn..amazing!!!god bless!!!..please.. if you have a frustrating, miserable commute like most of us..pop this cd in,it might make all those maniacs disappear...haha

I wouldn't call it annoying but it isn't my cup of tea. I like it but not as much as inot the wild or anything PJ.
