    Pearl jam UK :D

    admire the dude for doing it and he is a decent singer but didnt have that vedder sound

    In Waterford theres a band called 'bettermen' who do a few PJ songs and are very good. Even do a few other covers in Vedders style of vocals. God i miss the pub ha

    Eddie said they’re ‘in a holding pattern’ about the euro tour. I wouldn’t say there’s any chance of it happening tbh.
    We are expected to have a handle on the virus by then but I’d say you’ll see major gigs and events cancelled before that

    Really cracking album. 4 listens in now and liking different bits each time which is always a good sign. Lots to absorb here. It's already in a different league to Backspacer and Lightning Bolt but too early to say where it'll go in my list of PJ albums.

    Too noisy , to punchy and too unrefined compared to previous albums. And by previous albums , i mean anything up to RiotAct.

    Cameron's tom heavy presence is overbearing as usual. Banging away frenetically - in many cases, too much for what's needed, and sometimes it takes away from the songs.

    They've become a band that almost plays exclusively in the style of songs like Spin The Black Circle , Lukin and Breakerfall. At one point , I thought this is what Eddie collaborating with Green Day would sound like.

    Pearl Jam reached the pinnacle of their evolution a long time ago. Its probably to much to ask of them , or to even expect , another introspective /artsy record like No Code and Yield.

    The straight forward / classic punk rock sound seems like its here to stay until the throw in the towel.

    Whoever said through alright on this is just such a fantastic run. I can’t think of a better one since vitalogy maybe

    Then it switches gears. Kinda feels like that stylistic all over the place switching no code has.

    Which were used to now but if you remember when you first heard it it jumps all over the place do the entire record. Sometimes hail hail who you are...off he goes into habit

    Like I say we’re just used to and familiar with that now it having been with us so long.

    This feelS like it’s going for the same effect.

    But so far 1-6 is just nailing it for me. I hope I can catch whatever it’s doing after that.

    Hard disagree on this. The last couple of albums (while both had their moments) felt like they were lighter (or at least produced that way). This at least feels a lot more cerebral (something which the band seemed to veer away from).

    Can’t agree either. This finally sounds like the Matt Cameron human rather than machine. It’s groove and space rather than the overplay which he has been guilty of in the past. There’s space and room here in his playing

    Really good album musically. Major step up from Lightning Bolt....only downers are the’ random words from a Thesaurus’ lyrics - that’s when I can actually make out the words .....thought he’d have something to say after 7 years.

    Have to say lads, the new album is a belter. My favourite album by any band for the past couple of years.

    Thought that too. He’s made life really hard for himself some of these are gonna be a bitch to sing in terms of vocals but also memory. And he’s known for often screwing up forgetting lyrics regularly :)

    In terms of content I’m happy. Seven o clock has some genuinely good lyrics and a cohesive narrative. Apparently the whole record does but I haven’t gone in that end yet.

    Also have to say, the songwriting displayed on Comes Then Goes (about Cornell) is just unbelievably good. It's as raw a song as Black.

    Does it!??

    Didn’t know that.

    Game on I guess.

    My bet is they’ll announce or release it day the euro tour gets cancelled. Or shortly after

    Does it take long for delivery from the US shop on the band site? Cant see what I want in the EU/UK one.

    Still loving the album, can even put on 7 o clock and the little one will smile (probably at my **** singing)

    No idea, especially under the current climate. Still waiting on the cd from EU/UK side.

    My pal ordered from the US 10c store and not the euro one. He’s still waiting. Everyone I know that ordered from the euro has gotten theirs

    So I’d wait tbh

    Stupid question maybe but is there any point in ordering anything off amazon right now?
    Would it even get delivered?

    Yes, I've been getting Amazon stuff recently, and in fact just placed an order for a bunch of records the other day.

    Never heard of Record Hub, will check it out!

    Oh really?
    I might give it a swing so. The book is expensive enough like €40 but it’s coming from the UK so I’d hope it would make it through.
    Ok I’ll give it a swing thank you!
