Look, I said it already but that's what young people do FFS! |

Overall, 4 years and three months will be brutal if this ends up sucking. |

So it might be that after 5 listens i would write the complete opposite. I even might mix up some songs cause like 10 minutes after i heard it i forgot most of it Getaway: - pretty catchy uptempo song. It`s nothing crazy innovative but a great opener for the album i would say. I think the second verse was only voice and drums which was pretty cool. The melody is really catchy and you can sing along after first verse. But yeah it`s a bit - don`t know how to say it but it`s like a mixture of some PJ songs i heard before. So when i heard this i was a bit afraid that they really don`t have anything new to say... - MYM: You know that already. Only think i would say that it`s the fasted song on the record. - My Fathers Son: When it started i remember me saying what is that? That`s not Eddie singing! But it was Eddie First i really thought it`s Stone singing. Might just be because the room was pretty noisy. Other than that i think it was decent but a bit too long. Got a bit bored towards the end. - Sirens: I have to say i did not liked this song very much. I was really disappointed with this one because of all the hype. It`s a pretty (too) radio friendly ballad. Comparing it with Black is a joke too me. It was still interesting the guitars sounded a bit like 80 rock too me. But yeah I think i liked this song the least of all. - Lighning Bolt: I liked it much more than the live version we`ve all heard. I think it might be in my top 4 of this album. - Infallible: Liked this one a lot too! It has a nice Groove. Reminded me a bit of No Way. It`s not like No Way but the way a simple powerfull groove dominates this song just reminded me of it. Don`t remember much more only that i really liked it. - Pendulum: Really nice slow song with a psychedelic touch. Brandon said they recorded this one already for Backspacer but it didn`t made it... - Swallowed Whole: Didn`t really got into this one. It reminded me of something from Into The Wild but one of the more upbeat songs like Setting Forth.. - Let The Records Play: Easily one of my favs. Good old school blues rock. Sounded like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club meets Black Keys! Really nice can`t wait to hear it again. - Sleeping By Myself: I don`t know... It`s a bit like a joke. It`s not that much different than the Uke version but with a funny groove. Don`t know how to say it but it`s difficult to find a reason why this one should be on the album. It really feels like a joke. Not in a bad way but just like they make fun of themselves or something. - Yellow Moon Don`t know felt it was a bit boring. - Future Days Eddies voice is great but still it`s a bit boring to me. So all in all i think it`s pretty great but the ending (last 3 songs) for me felt a bit like filler material. Like they had not enough and just put some Eddie solo material at the end. The album is heavy on production. Even more than Backspacer i would say. I have to say i liked it cause that`s what they should do in the studio but i`m sure there will be some people complaining about. So for me it a bit like Backspacer but with more depth and a bit more experimentation. Ok that`s it for know. I realize this might not really help people to get an idea of the album. In the end it`s really impossible to say anything after one listen And again often the songs i don`t like first become my favorites later and the other way around so don`t take this too serious... quoting so people don't have to search Bad time to get bottom-paged. |

it certainly sounds like some people's fears of an all punk record can be put to rest. |

Based on that review, looks like LB really takes a dive with the final 3 songs |

it does. But I guess it depends on what is boring. Is All or None boring (I say yes). Is Indifference boring (I say no, platypus says yse). Is it a subtle song that doesn't make a strong first impression. They could suck and they might be boring, of course. |

I don't like "Indifference" though. |

Incidentally, one of my favourite ever 'boring' songs is Thumbing My Way. It's gorgeous and nearly everyone finds it boring. |

the conditions matter as well. If these guys were given a CD and a few listens (or even one clean listen) you could garner a lot more information |

we're not talking about the real story here, which is that once again my lifelong dream of getting to be the first person to review a pearl jam album has fallen through |
