Right now, I like hearing every song. I think the only thing that sounds odd to me is the first half of "Let the Records Play"...the second half of that song makes up for it tho.

Just a few quirks I have are the chorus in Infalible kinda takes away from the cool choppy verse parts, and the weeahoo weeeahoo sounds in lighting bolt makes me think of disney radio or something lol...I love the song though...just hate those little parts... I gotta listen to the album from Let the Record Play on a few more times to get a better opinion on the last couple songs...I really like Yellow Moon though. Anywho just my opinion..I like the album and think its better then backspacer. Something in the writing process changed after Riot Act though...just cant figure out what it is

I still would prefer Riot Act to this album, and maybe even Binural. And that might never change. But if you want to look at it from a standpoint of the consistency of quality from song to song, I think this might be their best album since Yield.

Sirens and Infallible are my two favorites right now. Getaway, and My Father's Son were two that I didn't like at first but after the third listen they grew on me a little bit. I still think they are only average PJ songs. All in all, its a good album, probably one of their most different sounding albums. I think they really have a few different "eras" of sound. Ten, Vs, and Vitalogy being the first, No Code and Yield being the second, Binaural, Riot Act and Pearl Jam being the third, and Backspacer and Lighting Bolt being the current sound.

I have given the album a good 20 listens all the way through. I love the arrangement but just can't get into Sirens. This will be my bathroom break song this tour. Infallible and Yellow Moon are growing on me and I don't mind the full band version of Sleeping By Myself. Getaway f'n rocks though and LOVE Swallowed Hole and Let The Record Play.
