I think early SP has always a great fucking production for whatever they sound is in that album, from the great psychadelic velvet of Gish, to the mix of shoegaze and grunge from SD to the heavy metal meets Bauhaus from Melon Collie...they always sound fucking good. My least favorite from that era is Machina, and thats still a great sounding album.

Yeah I like that description a lot.

Jimmy Chamberlain is my favorite thing about this band, so any of my opinions tend to revolve around he’s captured on the album (if at all).

man Jimmy is the best. He might be the best drummer of his era along with Matt C maybe....and yes, he is untouchable in those two, SD and MC.

One of the things modern SP is lacking is how to use and record Jimmy again in a proper form, even when the songs are great or good...but still those first seconds of Doomsday Clock are among the best stuff out there

Don't mention Matt the robot in the same sentence with Jimmy.

matt the robot? he was playing Hunted Down, Beyond The Wheel or Gun when Jimmy C was still dreaming about getting a drum for christmas...

BurtReynolds · **Posted:** Sat April 22, 2023 12:02 am

Then I'd think he'd be better by now.

Wth Burt. Don’t do Matt like that just because of Pearl Jam.

if you are comparing the two with their recent work, he still beats Jimmy C wtf

It can be both true that Matt's a wonderful drummer/songwriter and a wrong/weird fit for Pearl Jam, who were always more of a groove-based band.

He ruined the band, in part, but it's also not really his fault.

We all know that Eddie ruined Pearl Jam.

I've been calling you on your confidently incorrect nonsense for a lot longer than a week. Give me some credit.

I think it’s funny how at least once a tour cycle, Stone says something to the effect of “I forgot I didn’t totally hate these guys until we started planning this tour.”

Butch Vig looks exactly like a guy who would be named Butch Vig.

Maybe I’ll create a drag Queen persona named Bitch Vig and only perform to 90s alt.
