Wow, for some reason, I didn't realize EV wrote the lyrics to every song on LB! :shock:

Hasn't Ed pretty much written all the lyrics since "Pearl Jam"?

You know, he probably has, and I just didn't realize it!

I believe he also wrote every single lyric for Vitalogy (and Backspacer... bad example if I'm trying to defend him ).

There are a set of four descending notes in Yellow Moon that remind me of Low light- both Jeff's songs.

The chorus in Lightning Bolt "lightning bOOOOlt" reminds me of when Ed sings "breakerfall" in Breakerfall.

Find it interesting that Boom has been there for many years & tours, yet he is still listed like a session musician on the album credits.

Really enjoy the vocals on Infallible, played it multiple times today during my home commute, but I am not into the keyboard section in the beginning and pre-chorus... too poppy for my taste.

I have also been with the band since -91. I haven't liked everything, but with time even the ones I didn't like has grown on me. Still - not everything is good OK.

I have always liked that Pearl Jam has gone in their own direction, challenged their music, exploring, changing sound etc. I believe a band has to do that to stay in shape and continue to deliver great music.

I'm only on my 3rd thorough listen through of the album, and I have to say that this album has some great songs, but IMHO also some not so good ones. I believe that mostly it is the anticipation. I have NEVER seen an album so heavily promoted by PJ as LB. That kinds od builds up anticipations, and with PJ - those get pretty high and to me - LB haven't been able to live up to them. Also, I feel that many more songs than before feels like "pop hits". Secluded songs that feels more like radio hits than before. Could be just how it feels right now. I'm pretty sure that some weeks from now, that may change after more listening to it.

I wouldn't say this ,IMHO, is one of their best albums, but it is still a good one that I will continue to enjoy! Some songs are really great

For now though, I'm also bummed that I haven't received the CD. I have the digital downloads - but I found the quality not to my liking. I had hoped that "(Downloads will be available in the following formats: MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless and WAV) " meant high res files and not just some silly CD rip. I can do that myself. I sincerely hope that the CD comes with something goodie or the 10C version was a rip...
Can someone ease my mind who hgas gotten their 10C CD?

still not came yet! but listening on download(still prefer cd) about 5 times now and for some reason i think let the records play dosent quite fit,not that i dislike the song.actually really like swallowed whole,has a rem vibe to it.

Don't know why I'm surprised but still waiting in the UK good job I got it off Itunes!!

Thanks for the great album. Even my kid loved it. He seemed to favor Lightening Bolt. I think I might be leaning towards Swallowed Whole or Yellow Moon. The lyrics of Future Days and the instrumental accompaniment taps into my personal resevior of emotion. It pairs perfectly with my current life journey.

Thanks again PJ! I posted a video so you can see how happy the new album made my son. The little rocker.

Still haven't got my Viny yet, anyone else having this problem? It says it shipped but i didn't receive a confirmation email for shipping and there's no tracking link on my order history page.

Yep...Kind of disappointed. I pre-ordered the vinyl July 27th. Got a shipping confirmation on October 8th giving me hope that this meant I would get it at least by the release date. Nope. Just checked my shipping and the tracking number is now working and I can see that as of October 16th it is still in Auburn, WA. I could have gone to my local vinyl shop and purchased it and had it already...Now the projected delivery date is the 21st!

I am really hoping that the "exclusive" 10C content isn't the Mind Your Manner video that I can watch on YouTube. If it is I probably won't worry about 10C exclusive pre-ordering anymore because I paid more because of shipping than if I had just gone out and bought the album.
