I lost my dad unexpectedly 10 years ago a couple months before my wedding, I wrote an email and sent a real letter to Pearl Jam, telling the whole story and asked them to play release in Worcester on 2013 tour. I got email back from the 10c saying they passed it onto the band. When they played it that night I was with my best friend who introduced me to Pearl Jam in 8th grade, my sister and my wife and I have never been hit with that much emotion in my life until I heard this album, so its ok to cry. Music is a powerful release and healing power, Everyone enjoy this ride !!

This thing has more goddamn hooks than a bait and tackle shop.
Christ almighty .
I was thinking about Ed’s vocal trauma in Europe ‘22. I worried very seriously during that week that it was all over. Saw them in Nashville later that fall and was reassured. That next spring (‘23)they were recording at shangri la and man, he was obviously just fine.
Every damn song has at least one moment that makes me smile and makes me proud to have been such a die hard for 30 years.
Soak up these moments friends. Life is short and our guys will not be around forever. Have a great release weekend and here’s to blasting it LOUD so all can hear!

These guys. They actually did it. After all this time.
First listen this morning during a sunrise run. Spotify on pixel buds. Outside noise, plus I want to survive this but I think I can hear everything well.
First two tracks got my pace up and I'm loving the guitars. RR drumming and bass. Headphones FTW.
Wreckage comes on as I round a corner, the sun is coming up over a body of water and I see a couple of pelicans. I almost lose it. Those harmonies.
That mid tempo run through the middle is a delight and I've ran further than I meant too. Those melodies. Can't wait for a proper open back headphone listen later tonight.
WFS comes on for the one of the final hills on the way back home. I think I'm f*n flying or crying. Those sustained vocal notes. Those drums. That bass.
Running we know, and I get a final push.
I'm delirious for GtG ( I think) need to revisit. Triumphant.
By now I'm back home stretching for setting sun. I start openly weeping. Is it the endorphins? OR the fact that this takes me back to those early years and hearing those first 5 albums for the first time without leaks or social media.

Funny to hear Jeff say that he wouldn't have gotten away with playing his 12-string on studio albums these days, but Watt said "Why? Just play it". Mike also seems to be unleashed and not stifled.
Watt will have detractors for perhaps production reasons, but he should be praised for encouraging spontaneity and capturing the band's musical instincts which are still firing, based on this record.

I love that freakin' line!! It's so awkward and Ed
Is "stormy is the gray" the only serious syntactic offense on this one? I don't think I've noticed any others, but I haven't done a listen with the lyrics in front of me yet.

Either way, just incredible.
What a band. Thanks AW.
This x1000... love this so much. I've had a few emotional reactions to music while running... with Wreckage being the most recent one
