It made me smile to go back through the first few pages of this thread -- started almost exactly ten years ago, shortly after the rollout of the current iteration of RM -- and read the acknowledgments of this album's 15-year anniversary, which was commemorated then not dissimilar to how it is being commemorated now: by a SiriusXM radio special, somewhat tepidly anticipated by Spenno as a potential opportunity to unearth some previously unheard 1998 live material, but unsurprisingly ending up as a showcase for some then-recent live tracks and some apparently less-than-articulate fan phone calls. To that end, somewhat soberingly, I'm struck by (a) how the last 10 years really have felt like one extended lost weekend in the life of the band, and (b) how ridiculous it still seems that this album could be even 15 years old, never mind 25. Quarter-century anniversary hoo-hah is nothing new in PJ world at this point, but Yield is a special one for me.

I'm sure I've written somewhere between one and two million words elsewhere on RM about this album, so I'll spare you my sentimental stories. I just wanted to pop in here and wish happy birthday to my all-time favorite album, its wonderful songs, its immaculate sonics, its clumsy but heartfelt and occasionally astute philosophizing, its too-soon-gone Jack-Irons-ness, and its lifetime of companionship. Thanks Yield :heartbeat:

Good post

I think I will listen to Yield today

Aside from Whale Song which is great, sadly, Yield produce some of the most boring b sides and outtakes.

Eh? Leatherman, U and (in particular) Happy When I'm Crying are all great.

While I'm here, I also appreciated Kevin Davis's post.

excellent pop songs there.

Even if this were true, I really don't care. The songs on the album are plenty good

Jeff's bit about how Push Me, Pull Me got totally reworked from a Police inspired song into a spoken word art project without him was hilarious. Now we need to hear his original demo of this.

Fairly pointless IMO. The album masters are committed to DAT (barf), we’ve got soundboards of the best shows, and outside of a couple specific songs — earlier version of BOJ, Jeff’s PMPM demo, the early Of the Girl — I don’t think there’s much of anything else from this particular era worth hearing.

i also don't like the idea of releasing archival songs (aside from live shows) while you're still an active band. to me it sort of signals an end to any new creative output (i realize that's an arguable point for people here given the distaste some RMers have for their last few albums). they should hold off until they're really no longer active, to keep a relevance amongst your fans, and also a small revenue stream (or, a revenue stream for your estate down the road). i was kind of surprised they did what they did with Ten/Vs/Vitalogy, though i don't think the Vs/Vitalogy reissue was anything close to what they could release if they wanted to.

If the boxes were just about new music, they wouldn't exist.
