Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
 

so? Anybody? You Europeans already got your sweaty little hands on it!!!

Share your impressions!!!

*counting days and forgetting to check mailbox in case it was delivered just a wee bit early*


Alexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!! I am assuming it kicks ass and you are still in bed with PJ listening non-stop. Sigh....

:( No, I haven't had the time nor the oppurtunity to pick it up :(

i've heard 1 song so far and it was ok

I shall be going into town to buy it tomorrow, along with Snow Patrol's new album. I'll be seeing if I can get hold of Wolfmother, too. What to listen to first, hmm?

Ah, good to see you haven't picked it up yet either, Will. Now I feel less bad :)

It's not out til tomorrow! And I probably won't be able to get it til later in the week :(

New CDs I wanna pick up in May: Pearl Jam, RHCP, Wolfmother, Angels & Airwaves, AFI, and is the new Def Leppard one released in May as well? Damn, its gonna be an expensive month

It was supposed to get out on April 28th around here.
I'll get it tomorrow as well.

*gasp* that question was for effect only, right? You aren't really wondering this yourself???? *hyperventilates*

*and goes to check the mailbox = damn they don't deliver on Sundays :(*

What's with the cover? I saw it in the Best Buy ad and it looks like a picture of an avacado is on the cover. WTF does that mean?

It *is* an avocado. I've read it's referring to the Avocado declaration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado_Declaration). Don't know how much of that is true, though.

A link to an empty page .... ? :S

Yup still confused here. What exactly is the Avacado Declaration? Do tell please....

http://petra-k.cagreens.org/longbeach/avocado.htm

It's a political movement for a multiple party system.

I'd hoped that the meaning was a bit 'deeper' but it has yet to be confirmed that this is indeed the connection...

Hmm, it worked for me :S

Calm down, in an hours time I should have that avocardo in my hands. But I am going to see Snow Patrol tomorrow, so I really do need to get listening to that one. Sorry, sorry, sorry. [don't eat me]

Yay, yay. Only on track (World Wide Suicide), so I cannot really comment yet. However, I can say that Life Wasted is a great opening track.

The art work - don't be fooled by the simplistic front cover. The concept on the inside is... well, shocking. Taking the CD out and seeing the image that it was covering causes a little gasp, it has to be said. I don't want to ruin anything yet, so go out and get it for yourselves.

oh you wish ;)



omg omg omg omg omg omg --- I can't wait...


I CANT WAIT



(did you get wolfmother too and how is the Snow Patrol?)

Listening to it right now! :) Yay! :)

Yep :) Nice.

*turns green with envy*

why do you guys get it so late then?

And you should! I really like it :)

I'm in love with Inside Job, what a quality song. This has got to be one of the great PJ songs! It's like Release mixed with Indifference, I dunno.

Snow Patrol's Eyes Open is very good. A little too downbeat, though. It's not as 'rock n' roll' as anything previous. Hands Open is a great rock song, the rest are rather depressing, to say the least. I think I need to sit down with it and get a proper listen.

I didn't get Wolfmother, but I did see it for £7.99 :) bargain. I'll get that later this week.

I'll have to check it out .. the more downbeat the better. haha.

I'll get it tonight - it's on sale here for $7.98 --- I am glad I didn't get the import of $20some dollars...

Indeed - good lord. I can't decide what song to obsess over first.... Marker in the Sand --- siiiiiiiiiighggghhhhhh....

I love this album!

Seeing Pearl Jam june 1st in Jersey!!!!

Hell yeah! What a truly great album!

Still haven't got the damn thing! >:( Went to Virgin to go and pick it up so I could use my Addict card, and they didn't have it in stock! Bastards. So I'm hoping to get it soon, maybe tomorrow

I don't have it yet either (am mad) - I pre-ordered, but haven't received it yet!! (apparently I made the mistake of ordering some merchandise as well which delayed delivery - crap). I'll stop on the way home and buy a copy cause I am tired of waiting (supposedly the artwork is different between the 10c copy and the regular copy, we shall see).

Do have the digital download, of course, but to me it's just not the same....

This is such a great album though, I know it will take me a looong time to get through it and digest it all - good to see that there are still bands out there that have been around forever and still have the guts to put out what they want and to speak up when everybody else has fallen silent!!

Alex: love that signature :D that song gives me goosebumps.

Don't know, but don't you Euros always get albums before us in the States?

Whaaaat? That sucks! Can't they do a postdelivery on the merchandise or what? :S

Agreed. And it's nice to know they still rock. It was totally what I expected and more!

Me too. So does 'Gone'.

Ok, I've managed to get a good feel for this album. I absolutly love it. The band have done themselves proud with this release. Way better than Riot Act, I'd say it was better than Binaural as well. Album highlights, for me, include Life Wasted, Marker in the Sand, Gone, Come Back and Inside Job. It's all superb music, heartfelt with top Vedder (and McCready) lyrics. A very solid album that I feel I can listen to all of the way through without the need to skip tracks.

Roll on Leeds Festival!

Will, I totally agree with you when it comes to this album - I would even pick your highlights as mine.

http://www.cbs.com/latenight/latesho..._on_letterman/ check it out it is the SHIT!


I am just so blown away. For me this is one comes right after Ten - it's way up there.

I have yet to skip over a track and I don't think I ever will. An album you can listen from front to back and over again.

Tempted to get tickets for the second night they are playing here ... if it only wasn't out in the boonies and it required camping, sigh...


Oh and Mr. Bluesman, the artwork is indeed superb!!!

I've never been that much into Pearl Jam but this album is a great one from the first track to the last.
The booklet is indeed one of the most beautiful I've seen in a very long time.


Ponrauil

check out that link Aure!

I was listening to that very track when I read this.

Ohh... and there's another one :)

And another one...

I'll catch you later :)


Ponrauil

LOL!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that link... what else can I say. They rock.

I love their new material and feel like I lost some of my time not giving them more attention in the past...


Ponrauil

The link does work, but I still can't see shit in there. :(

Ponrauil, I was a huge fan right after Ten came out and I'm still in love with Vs. as well. But I still lost track of them after No Code - I was sooo disappointed with it and I really thought that they weren't able to deliver some quality albums anymore. I'm glad that this album proofs me wrong. Dead wrong :)

you have to have real player installed and then click on play movie or something...
