Me likee.

Partly because I can really belt this one out. Can't wait to get the lyrics down so I can cut loose in the shower.

Edited to add: Need more Ament/Gossard love in these vids, though.

Edited again to add- THIS IS THE 6900th REPLY IN THIS THREAD!!

 

[AcerFC]

Dug the solo in the middle

The rest a bit adult contemporary for me

i didn't get that. Isn't Kenny g and Michael Bolton adult contemporary

 

[Tiger Fan]

Great use of Eddie's voice

I guess I see the adult contemporary argument, but I can also see the counter for it.

It's slowly growing

 

[Bobcat10]

Sirens and Lightning Bolt should be great fixtures on the album.

Am I right in saying we have heard 3 now?

They played 3 off lightning bolt (LB, MYM and Future Days) at Wrigley if I'm not mistaken. Sirens makes 4

 

[skol asylum]

Yeah the more I hear Sirens the more its my least favorite PJ song. Kind of a downer.

TF....I don't remember Future Days from the broadcast....I'll have to look it up. Thanks!

Adult contemporary maybe... but a good track IMO.

Lot of vulnerability / mortality in Ed's writing lately...

 

[Inhiding]

there was a leak, and 4 songs got out...

Getaway

Let the Records Plat

Swallowed Whole

Lightning Bolt

 

[JZilla]

Still better than Sweet Lew

 

[Tiger Fan]

I think I figured out why Sirens is odd...there's real hook or chorus.

Ok so foxymophandlemama is obviously THE worst but to be fair its not even really a song.

 

[Abraham]

Just heard "sirens" for the first time. Not sure if I think it's their best song in a really long time or drivel. But it's definitely one of the two.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Did you listen to it a note at a time?

This is pretty much where I am with it. One thing I know for sure, it's about two minutes too long.But I'm the kind of fan that would love an album with 12 Severed Hands and zero Parachutes.

 

[AcerFC]

I really like it. I listened to it on Spotify. It is better when you are not watching the video IMO

Eddie has a wide and great range on it. Very sincere

 

[Bobcat10]

I've only watched it once....so I'm still not sure either....but I'm pretty sure it's not the worst song in their catalog.

Good point about watching the video while listening.

 

[Tiger Fan]

The more I hear it, the more I like it...but also, I think the guitar solo just doesn't belong in this song. It's a solid solo, but just not sure if it fits.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

It's growing a bit, but it still doesn't grab me

Seems like a bit of a melodic rehash of Breath

Lyrics are decent

Still love the solo (sounds Morello-esque to me)

Backspacer was 4 years ago yesterday

That's nuts

 

[prosopis]

I am still not sure if I like Sirens or not. I do think it is to long for sure. Will be interesting to see what they do with it live, that can certainly change things. On a side note I have been reading the forums at Pearl Jam and those folks are just a little dramatic

I wish I could post there but its probably best that I can't.

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

You guys are nuts. Sirens is good stuff.

 

[HughHoney]

Got tickets to Pearl jam October 11 in Pgh. Going with the woman who'll be 35 weeks pregnant. If she goes into labor during the concert we're making some name changes. If its a boy his middle name will be Vedder. If its a girl her middle name will be Pearl.

that is awesome

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Sirens is very meh to me. Not a fan.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Listened to Sirens twice and it's sticking in my head big-time. Really like it.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I have 4 (pretty decent) tickets to the Nov 19 show in Phoenix. If anybody's interested, let me know. For someone I recognize from here, I'd just be looking to get my money back.

prosopis, if you've any interest in getting better seats, this would prob be the cheapest way to do it. Offer's open as long as I have them, but I won't hold onto them if somebody I know wants them.

I dl'd, but probably won't listen until the album comes out. I remember having all of Vitalogy (through live recordings) minus all the weird #### before it came out; and it took it all out of the relase

I just don't want to go to Buffalo and hear songs for the first time. Not a fan of that. No idea why this isn't released a week before the tour starts.

I was gonna say, Sirens is growing on me. I guess it maybe it had the opposite effect with Bob and drove him completely away.

We bought 4 because we're going with another couple. They jumped on that morning and also bought tickets. When I sent them what we had, they said they'd sell theirs. When we had drinks with them this weekend, I saw their tickets. They got better seats than we did and never bothered to let us know. WTF?

So we're using theirs and I'm going to sell mine. I figured I'd offer them up here first.

I have mixed feelings about some of these songs. Not awful, but not up to par with the last two albums IMO. Looking forward to giving the full album a listen.

 

[AcerFC]

Im listening to Yield right now. I never really gave it a chance at the time because I was into harder stuff. Im really enjoying it

 

[Braktastic]

So I've heard the following songs now:

Mind Your Manners

Getaway

Lightning Bolt

Let the Records Play

Swallowed Whole

They've all grown on me, but my favorites are Getaway and Mind Your Manners by far. I'll listen to Sirens tonight.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Sirens has grown on me very nicely. Really dig it

 

[AcerFC]

Was listening to PJ station on my way into work and Animal came on from San Jose in 1995.

I just remember sitting there watching the MTV video awards and being so stoked when they sang Animal before Vs came out. And then Uncle Niel came out and they did RITFW and it blew my mind.

I was a junior in high school. Its crazy how clear the image is from 1993. Now I cant remember yesterday

 

[Tiger Fan]

I took the bait and downloaded the leaked songs. Warming up to them.

I f'n love Sirens

 

[McGarnicle]

I probably played that CD 2000 times in '98 and '99.

 

[McGarnicle]

The more I listen, I think Sirens is just amazing. I lean more toward their harder songs, but this is a masterpiece IMO.

Okay, it's October. Time to scout out pre/post show watering holes in the vicinity of the Barclays Center for the Saturday 10/19 gig.

Any suggestions? I found one- 9 minute walk

 

[Tiger Fan]

Single day voodoo tix went on sale ($105ish). If you're coming down let me know, I have two 3-day passes to sell (only looking for what I paid - $206 each). They're currently going for $233

 

[skol asylum]

So at this late date is it safe to say the PJ will have no opening act in Phoenix if they haven't already announced one? Or do they add at the very last minute in the past?

Good question

I have no idea.
