I really didnt get much from the review on how most of the songs really sounded.
look, if you think you can post a better review start your own band, record an album, fly your producer to germany, have him hold a listening party, go to it, and then write a review.
Look, I said it already but that's what young people do FFS!

Ok i`ll try to write some thoughts. It`s really impossible to give a real review case after one listen i can never judge a Pearl Jam album. 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...

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.

That's a good point.
I really like "All Or None". 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.

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
