    The great thing about this band they have always wanted themselves & the fans to get creative & not just do something that is so obvious. It creates a buzz for us all to discuss & then maybe throw something from left field

    I will say one thing: THIS HAS REIGNITED MY LOVE FOR THIS BAND. Going through this process makes me all a flutter again, and want to see them live, listen to new music, share it with friends, jump around in my basement alone to it. 

    WE. 
    LOVE. 
    THIS. 
    BAND. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Check out the Scavenger Hunt thread.   It has pics of most of the billboards, with links to the animations.

    Maybe because it’s encouraging people to go outside that it helps the environment ??? Gotta drive to the place tho. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    I totally agree. This excitement feels as fresh to me as when I was waiting for the midnight  release of Vs. 

    Touring will happen every year or so but new music is rare. Enjoy the anticipation.

    Given the environmental angle of the possible title and artwork does anyone think that this could be the first Pearl Jam album not to be released in a physical format. As much of a collector that I am, I would have thought it would be an impressive and bold move by a band who usually produce a lot of physical product. 

    I look at the thousands of records I have and think of the environmental impact of them being manufactured and contemplate stopping buying physical stuff.

    speaking of environmental impact, can you imagine what would happen to this place if pj pulled a coldplay and said "sorry, no shows"?

    Hmm interesting... thanks for posting, I would have assumed that physical is more harmful. I think what they are missing in these articles is that most people who buy vinyl for example also use digital services as well and buy to collect rather than just play their physical copy over and over. I will read more into it.

    Ive commented on other music boards about the ridiculous numbers of variations/ formats bands do etc. I fully recognise that the band will probably do this but can you imagine if they do 6 vinyl versions of this. We will have the rabid pj collectors (myself included) buying every variation going. What is the environmental impact of that. Its just a conversation starter thats all.

    My wife seems to think that the three marker image that they released is supposed to be a raindrop, a flame and a deer hoof. The last one connects the dots in coordination with the latest Ten Club shirt release. Gigaton is a climate change album that absolutely must have Of The Earth on it
    Interesting thought.
