Not the greatest album title but whatever. The single sounds great.

So do we think the lack of the track list is because they haven't decided what songs will be on it?
It said when i ordered the cd and the vinyl that it will include 12 songs

And will we have to wait till its released since the countdown goes untilll release date to get the tracklist ?

That might include bonus tracks. Like the inevitable live version of Betterman.

First listen and I'm really disappointed in "Mind Your Manners." This is pretty much exactly the sort of thing I was holding out hope that this album wouldn't be. The bridge sounds like the fucking Offspring.

I like it! I think it's the best Pearl Jam "rocker" in quite some time. Sounds to me like Matt or Jeff may have had a hand in writing it. It's too good to be an Eddie or Mike song and Stone generally doesn't rock out like this.

Is that top pic the album cover? I quite like it. Makes me think of mind control or something. They should leave the text off.

What's up with the Islamic crescent in the artwork?

Well then what the heck were you hoping for?

I would like to formally apologize to Pearl Jam for ripping on the title Lightning Bolt and claiming that it was the worst album title ever. After seeing the album cover artwork this totally works for me because that is a badass image! Go LB!!!

Will there be two album covers?
