    So excited for all of it

    I adore this band and I'm so grateful they are still out making and playing music 

    Yup, out of all the bands that could of ended up being my favourite at age 14, the one I chose went the distance and continues to kick ass :)
    Back in high school I remember one day me and some friends were hanging out after school with our music teacher, and we were talking about new bands and "grunge".  I asked him what bands did he think would be around awhile, and without hesitation, he said Pearl Jam.  I couldn't have comprehended back then that 33 years later I'd be sitting here excited about a new album of theirs coming out in a week and seeing them live again in a month.

    After Vitalogy came out and there was talk of the band breaking up because Eddie couldn't handle the fame I thought well, At least I've got 3 wonderful albums to fall back on. I thought a lot of good bands don't make 3 good albums before they break up. Now look at us. 
    👍👍
    What they said 🤘

    forever greatful

    Enjoy this to the fullest!  When I was a kid, in 1996, recording on cassette tape the Berlin show from that year that my local radio station was broadcasting, I imagined that PJ would be around for years to come and I wondered what they would come up with several albums down the road.  

    Hard to believe we are still on the new album release ride when many of their contemporaries are no longer active.  

    Never let anyone tell you that what you love is wrong.  

    Cheers!

    Another good review for the album, but bad for Something Special.

    Dark Matter: A compliment for us, is a compliment for you!
    Something Special: No man, this negative energy just makes me stronger.

    @Te@"Ten Backspaced Riot Actors" you Rock man. Thats the type of support and enthusiasm the world needs. It seems like the band has caught something, and for everyone it's like a breath of fresh air. Who knew this was possible. No hating on Gigaton... there are some really well crafted musical landscapes. But tbh, overall and maybe it's bc of the time period the songs haven't stuck the same with me. I was lucky enough (and it was a tough day) to see them @ Sea Hear Now, and then MSG. MSG was amazing, and Sonic Reducer sounded very similar to the version (I am no pj scholar) I love the most from Florida in '94. I also paid dearly to see the Earthlings, and you could see Ed had caught some energy then. I think it was contagious in a good way! I am a teacher, and it's amazing how youth can bring you back to a place you never thought you'd get to visit again. Some people hate teachers, but (long story, and involves hearing Long Road live in San Diego '06) but I'm not the popular teacher... kids respect me, I help them get jobs, I kid around with them and I work extremely hard year round. There are times the youth vibe brings me up and it's a special thing. This is too long... im gonna get a hater again. But, maybe I'll run into you at Philly 1, Boston 1 or MSG's!!! :)

    "After 35 years, Vedder’s vocals haven’t lost any of their power, range or emotion."

    Um....the power was lost in like 1996 dude.
