    I was very excited to to crank this new album on my way home from work yesterday. It started out great with Who Ever Said and I was loving it up thorough Quick Escape then it quickly went downhill. I kept waiting for the next song to bring it back but that didn’t happen.  Ive listened to it now multiple times trying to like it but I just don’t. I personally put this as their worse album and it sounds more of an Ed solo album than a full band effort in my opinion. 
    Agree with you it’s too bad they keep doing this (last 3 albums so disappointing) I have an old friend since high school that loved PJ as much as I did, beck we even played PJ cover songs in a band and had lots of fun doing that. After Backspacer and  bolt he said he was done with PJ and went to U2 instead. He spent 400 bucks on U2 Gen Admin tix right after I know he would have spent that to see PJ but the lackluster albums did it for him - I’m not there yet but getting real close.
    Is there a reason why your friend can’t like Pearl Jam and U2 at the same time?  Why the need to declare you’re dropping one band and picking up another?  Sounds made up.

    Firstly, you need to add ‘IMO’ to your thread title. People don’t take kindly to opinions being stated as facts round here.


    Secondly... you’re very, very wrong!  =)


    IMO, of course 
    LoL. "People don't take kindly." So says the self-declared gatekeeper of PJ message boards. So, so sad. And by the way - you never state "in my opinion" when giving an opinion because it sounds like an apology. You should always state your opinions as facts.

    Dude, with all due respect every single post you are making the past few weeks have been purely argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.  Do you even have any interest in the music of PJ or do you like paying for a fan club membership to ignore any music and purely just start arguments?

    I don’t understand any of this post. Not sure who the “self-declared gatekeeper” is supposed to be?

    Has anyone else noticed that Mike McCready is a genius? He and the rest of the band are insane on this album.  
    Honestly haven't listened to the lyrics.  Headphones on and hearing the groove and love this band!  I'm going to enjoy what they have laid out for a long time.  Can't ask for more.
    Thank you for your hard work.

    The 2nd thread was a mistake. My phone was messing up and I hit the post discussion button twice thinking it didn’t go through. My deepest apologies!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    So, your friend doesn't like a couple albums in a row and then decides to spend $400 on U2 tickets?  That's kinda weird.  I was certainly not a huge fan of LB and Backspacer either, but I wouldn't never stop seeing the band live.  There are/were 8 other albums worth of music.

    Sorry you don't like the album.  It has to be frustrating waiting for 7 years and it not living up to your expectations. Hopefully you'll find some stuff you like.

     it gets a bit long with the slow songs at the end.

    comes then goes is meh
    retrograde is less than meh
    river cross is pretty solid but after the other 2 becomes meh  
    This is right now where I am. 

    Always happy to spin it again though. So far.

    We are living in a world where grown up fans can't take that other fans have different opinions on the subjective thing that is music.

    Think about that for a second.
