    Not sure why people keep on hoping for "Of the Earth"...it's from Avocado sessions, and Eddie has come out and said explicitly that it's not goin to be on album, it's just going to stick around as a live-only track. Read PJ20 guys! Read it!!! :geek:

    Nonetheless, I don't remember Jeff saying Backspacer was going to push any boundaries...so...we can only hope! :corn:

    Yeah, pretty sure the only chance we'll have at a studio version of this will be on a new Lost Dogs or something 10 years in the future. :(:lol:

    He never "explicitly" said it wouldn't be on there. He said they had recorded a version of it, but wasn't sure if it was going to go on the album, or have it just stay as a live song.

    Happy to be getting a new album next year hopefully, but even happier to hear that they are taking some chances to make this album more "out there". I have been saying all along that I would love the new album to have a combination of the sound and concept of No Code, Binaural, and Riot Act all rolled into one.

    Thanks for the post!

    Agree, but I have very low expectations as I feel the band is starting to hit the downward slope. Not knocking them, as they have been around for 20+ years. I just have a really hard time listening to Ed warble through live shows these days and struggle so much.

    Outside their comfort zone would not be replicating albums they've already done..


    They want to change their sound up a bit like they did when those albums came out, so it will sound nothing like what they've done.

    Hahaha that popped into my head too.

    Maybe that or Stone adding a hip-hop flavor

    Go 'out there' all you want guys - I'm for it. New and unexpected is fun.

    Please give creative control to Jeff and Stone.

    this guy knows


    ed needs to lose the guitar

    Are we still talking about this like 20 years later?

    I would love something more out there. I hope Jeff holds the rest of the band to this. :)
    It's been 3 years and I like a couple songs on Backspacer more than when it first came out, but to me it's still the weakest album as a whole. Riot Act on the other hand, has aged beautifully to my ears and I never would have expected it to.

    I would like a more pyschedelic rock album ala the Beatles. Not going to happen I would bet. Either way, Jeff should get more songs next time.

    I worry Brendan will take what ever they do and make it all shiny and clean like Backspacer.... not that I dont like that album. Don't let em Jeff and Ed! :). Just ready for the "unpolished" Pearl Jam to come back. Another No Code/Binaural is what I hope for.... Off the Earth is a great sign though.

    You realize Brendan did No Code, right?

    Brendan has kinda lost the magic touch though since the 90s in my opinion. He did Working on a Dream, one of the overall absolute weakest and worst Springsteen albums of all time. When I heard that I lost all hope for backspacer.
