    Unpopular opinion, but I enjoy Unthought Known.  I find it to be a fun song.

    There are a handful of songs on the last 2 albums that I like including only 1 or 2 on Lightening Bolt.  Not terribly interested in new stuff at this point.

    I'm not saying they're garbage albums, and I like more than I don't on these albums, but overall....what I'm saying is they gotta do a folk/dance/hip hop/country album to really hook me back, ya know?

    ALSO - this is unrelated, but TOTALLY Philly-related. This is an upstart group myself and some neighbors helped form (I declined an interview because I have a propensity to put my foot directly in my mouth)......and this is just fucking awesome:

    Good for you -- people should be more a part of things they want to change.

    (Says the guy who has not read/watched nor sought out any US/World news since DUMP was sworn in.  I do know some items but only because I read of them as reading about Sports/Entertainment or because my wife wants to start a riot.  It was all making me sick and I decided to fucking be done with it.  Started as a '30 Day Negativity Cleanse' and turned into however long it has been that DUMP has been working to make our country great again.)

    Also -- speaking of Cliffy's unpopular opinion....I liked Backspacer and LB a lot.  I am not a guy that puts Riot Act and Binaural above other albums -- I love them, as I do all Pearl Jam records after time, but I prefer more rock than experimentation for the most part.  I am a heavy metal freak leftover from the 80s.

    Thanks, man - it's given me an outlet that's productive instead of just driving myself mad.

    I go Yield > No Code > Vitalogy > Binaural > Vs. > Ten > Riot Act >Avocado > Backspacer > Lightning Bolt in order of greatness to me.

    And that's not to say I hate Lightning Bolt, but Sirens really drags that shit down. Again, I love my good ol' rock and roll but for this band to stay the course for three - possibly four - straight albums would be a disappointment.

    The First 5 stand apart for me.  Everything else is just....great PJ music.  The First 5 are the greatest 5 albums by any band ever, head to head, in my personal taste.  Totally get that most think I should go Led Zep or Beatles or whomever -- but it is my list and most can suck a dick and start their own lists.  ;)

    Listening to WMMR and they just played the new PJ song. Now they're saying it has the same beat as Kokomo, haha.
    heard that as well.  Me personally i like it, not their best but good to finally hear something new in about 5 years or so.

    I’ve said it a zillion times....like most of my opinions :lol: .......but if the last two albums had been the first two, there never would have been a third.

    You can probably say that for about 99% of bands that have ever existed.

    Nothing the Gin Blossoms put out holds a candle to any Pearl Jam records.
