He was saying that its been said before a few times already that he’d record more. Meaning “Repeated” Like a record that’s broken.
The world isnt ending, folks.
“When I do those, it’s mostly to clean off the shelves and finish stuff; it’s stuff that has been on the Pearl Jam shelf for a few years and nobody is really responding to it. I think all of us have gotten into the habit of finishing stuff up and putting it out. This is a broken record, but I think I’ve said that I would record a lot more with Pearl Jam if that was what could happen.”Post edited by cp3iverson on0 -

But that is my experience.
When I sometimes read the quotes of PJ - and they are quotes so caution is necessary - they make it sound that every idea is a source material. That they do not have a "not good enough pile". Which is BS if you think of it for "Of the Earth" and other outtakes were thrown on that pile.
In short, I interpret the "broken record" comment more as an inspirational thing. They have some songs, but no direction. As I stated before PJ doesnt only write good songs, they also write cohesive records with often a theme that connects the songs together. For some reason (often personal reasons, a death patch - something every artist goes through; doesnt mean they will break up or anything - we are just not used to it, because as a band they are/ were quite prolific) they are artistically stuck. (Or they are recording as I speak and I blow smoke out of my ass right now.) But each album had something that tied it all together: Vs. was about (inner) struggle (each song deals with this theme), Ten about growing up and coming of age (maybe the reason why so many people connected to it), Vitalogy (also re. the booklet) about conformity and how this is contextualized in space and time, even the albums people throw off as a series of songs had things in common: LB about personal revelations (just think of the title song), BS about going back to their roots (for RA and ST feels a bit awkward to me: RA feels lost and ST almost like an overcompensation) etc. Mind you, this is *my* interpretation. But I can imagine if all five members are not on the same page at the moment or in the same inspirational plane, it can be frustrating. The best art comes if you dont force it. If you as an artist dont stand in between the art and the development of it. (I hope this is clear somehow.) So I see this hiatus more as an inspirational struggle. And no, I do not think and it is wise and even insulting if we as fans start to single out members that are "to blame". We dont know. We do not know the personal circumstances and we do not know the impact Cornell had. Matt was a drummer of Soundgarden for Christs sakes.
Ok, I stop the monologue now. But this is just my take on it.

It feels like they have slid in to nostalgic act mode. Obviously they are bigger than the nostalgic acts that play suburban 4th of July festivals. They can still pack arenas. Only they know why they has happened. Maybe it's family, maybe it's getting old, maybe the creative juices have dried up...who knows.
The interviews they have given have indicated the album is in the middle somewhere, so something will come eventually. Hopefully it doesn't as long as Chinese Democracy0 -
Broken record is 100% referring to Jeff repeating himself in interviews that he would like to record more with Pearl Jam. Very common phrase.0

So once they get the urge to lock themselves in the studio it will be worth waiting for. If they dont then they dont.
same discussion every week
It is the same discussion and it is their right in life
But you left out a significant part of the story.
It was wrong to make it appear can't dent me was from their "forthcoming" album when no such thing existed and pretend now the band made no such claim

LITERALLY, as even flow just came on the radio.0 -
Im surprised this is still on the band's site, and so many fans forget this fact:
"Pearl Jam's new track from their forthcoming album on Monkeywrench/Republic Records is out now!“Can’t Deny Me” was co-produced by Pearl Jam and Brendan O'Brien. The track was recorded in Seattle last month and released as a surprise early download to Ten Club members last Saturday.
Eddie wrote the song's lyrics set to music written by Mike. Jeff created the single's artwork in collaboration with PJ's longtime Videographer, Kevin Shuss."

And regarding "forthcoming": a).it doesnt say anywhere it will not be on the album, so far I know at least and b) they have the right to change their minds. Maybe it doesnt fit with the other tunes or maybe in retrospective they realized the song wasnt that strong or they dont feel the same about it as they did back then. I know they raised expectations but in the worse case scenario we have a b-side.0 -
only reason is that affect the tour plans,,pj are the best live band of all times,,i want tour to go see the world,meet people ,see shws,live music..live my life to the full..

When Steven Tyler and Joe Perry were too strung out on drugs and too toxic to get anything done, the other members of Aerosmith got together in the studio anyway. Jeff can make the same comment over and over but he isn't powerless to do anything about it if he wants. Two of them, three of them, four of them, could record music together if they wanted to. Ed not being there doesn't prevent that - if that even is the issue. I have my doubts.

I asked Methuselah if their next record will be out soon. He said, "Oh yes, very soon.""Cool", I thought. But then I remembered Methuselah is 4,852 years old. Here's a nice photo of him:"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I'm hoping for a new album, but if it doesn't happen, I won't be too disappointed as long as they continue to tour!"A beacon on dry land"0

What is it with the negativity here. Writing songs is as much in their blood as touring. Jesus, if Jeff wants an album out, an album will come. How long do you think a "nostalgic" band will last? Bands that dont evolve devolve. Thousands examples in rock land. Have some patience. Nostalgic rock bands are bands tht stop and comr together after 15+ years. Relax. I think we can use a sendative by now.
