I love Pearl Jam but after 30 years I don’t think they can release anything that I will be listening to for more than a couple weeks before putting away.

I listen to a song or two from it here and there
After the first few listens I started cutting it to the first four songs. I did mix in the full album probably 10-15 more times. Now I am down to once in a while playing songs from the first three, maybe four cuts. Hoping that seeing it live will bring some of the other songs around for me....

This is where I’m at as well...

I’ve listened to it more, front to back, than any other PJ album of this century. Not because I like it so much more (although I do really like it), but because it hasn’t been replaced by any shows. In a non-COVID universe i shelved it some time last summer in favor of boots from MSG and Baltimore.
Like an erection, it started out with a good hard listen quite a lot, but as time goes on the sensation of new tunes fades and becomes a more flacid once a week or two listen. But like any album I love it when it comes on unexpectedly, but usually it is over too quick to appreciate and I am left sad and depressed it didn't last longer

Weekly. But with two little ones, weekly is considered top rotation. More often I’ll throw on a song or two. Lately it’s been Whoever Said, DOTC, Comes and Goes, and Seven o Clock.
It's been a while for me & not that I don't like it, I love it but with Covid ruining my European tour that coincided with my 50th It's on the back burner as I play more guitar than listen to music these days

I played it so much on release, I maybe over did it a bit, taken a few months off from the cycle, but will defo return to it in time. Still like a lot of the record
I bought it on CD when it came out, but only got the vinyl a little while ago. The vinyl came with a digital download, so I find that listen to it more on my phone when I am out running. When listening to the CD at work, I skip around a little, depending on the mood.
First four songs occasionally. The rest are pretty much throw away. I am treating this album just as I did Lightning Bolt. I can't remember the last time I actually listened to LB in full.
A ton more than i did for Lightning Bolt or Avocado 9 months after their release.
Same here. Working from home I've had to put more albums into rotation so every day wasn't the same, but it still holds up well. Also occasionally listen to it from start to finish as a running soundtrack, which is nice in itself to enjoy PJ while exercising.
I would listen to the full album once or twice a week for the first 3 or 4 months. Now I put it on about once or twice a month and listen to about 4 or 5 tracks. I can't expect another VS or Yield from them at this point. Still much better than LB, so this was about as good as I could have hoped or expected.
I always fall more in love with their songs live than album versions , if the 2020 tour had happened and I had some bootlegs I would most likely listen to the songs a lot more.
Enjoy every song on the album and still do not feel like there is a skippable song on it for me. I do not listen to it front to back anymore very often but when I get back to working out I will be.

I think I'll do that today. It's been awhile. I might even be able to tolerate the Future Days.

Funny thing is as much I really don't like LB, I do think Future Days is one of the better songs on that record.

Many different songs get different reactions. I like the first half of LB. I don't listen past Swallowed Whole Those last four songs are not ones I seek to listen to.
Weekly for me. It would be more but on a friend's recommendation I jumped down a Steven Wilson and Gavin Harrison era Porcupine Tree rabbit hole and got rather addicted to having those albums on repeat listen. Fortunately the repeat listenability of Gigaton is much higher than the last few albums and I do look forward to putting it on as opposed to giving LB a spin for the sake of it.
Stars are suns to other people.
