Pearl Jam's Studio Errors

Foxymophandlemama is awesome....if you don't get that song, then you dont get Pearl Jam. My only studio error is that they dont throw more experimental stuff like that on more albums.

what about "Hey, Foxymophandlemoma That's Me"

One and only mistake in my opinion. Its just gross. Does anyone actually listen to it all the way through?

oh gosh please if I want experimental or psychedelic I'll listen to early Floyd at a science lecture. Albums have so little precious space, and they do not do b-sides anymore so screw foxy mop and give me songs. Make that statement in your DVD credit music, liner notes, maybe a secret download.

i love Hey Foxymophandlemomma, that's me

Every album could be Pip farting on a snare drum and I would still buy it.

I'll take Foxymop, Aye Davanita, RedDot, Pry, to, Master/Slave, Hummus, etc over Big Wave any day of the week. Things like Big Wave should be a b-side or a charity contribution. The experimental stuff, that stuff cements the album. Look at Ten. It starts and ends with Master/Slave. Gives the album a bit of a feel. Foxymop, Pry,To, Aye Davanita....they give Vitalogy that creepy..sorta off feeling. Same with Yield....new experimentation. Arc kinda does this for Riot Act. Actually....is Arc the most important song from Riot Act? Think about that a second.

LB might be my favorite album since Yield, and I wouldn't touch it. But then again....we probably could have dumped Sleeping By Myself (which I LOVE the full band version) and thrown some experimental stuff on there.....something like Thunderclap, etc..

I wish the production quality of Avocado had been more akin to Vitalogy.. It has some great Vitalogy-style songs, but was produced too cleanly.

I agree with this statement. I admit to not knowing the first thing about producing a record and why some sound better than others, but I feel like something is off with the way Avocado sounds compared to any Brendan Obrien-produced PJ records. I feel like he could have gotten their best sound out of this record and a comparison to Vitalogy makes sense in how the songs are stylistically.

Anyone remember the newsletter that had a pic of Stuart Smally at the board/controls? Maybe he pressed too many buttons?

Wow. Bushleaguer and mankind are both tracks the band is embarrassed about.

please forgive my ignorance... but where has it been said that the band is embarrassed about Bu$hleaguer?

Yeah, I've never heard this either.
At any rate, I don't care if the band likes something or not - I'll like or not like things on my own terms (and I like Mankind and Bu$hleaguer). BTW, they don't really feel that Ten is so hot either, and Mike said he's surprised that so many people find No Code so awesome. Also, Eddie said that he thinks Lightning Bolt is their best album. And Jeff's favorite album is Binaural, hands down (and I completely love this opinion, but there are folks out there who don't like Binaural much at all, so they better not listen to what Jeff thinks!). Sooooooooo..... I guess the moral of the story is that we shouldn't pay any attention to what any of the band members feel about their own music. Sometimes I think their opinions about it are crazy, LOL.

Mike doesn't like Corduroy, but I do.

Me too. Love it. Especially live.

HoldOn not being on Vs.

WOW, couldn't agree more. It is so good.
It would have been a great addition.

Yeah, not sure why they didn't swap Glorified g for Hold On? It'd be perfect in between Daughter and Dissident.
