Well if you think it's a tricked up Breath then that makes sense why I love it so much as that's one of my all time favorite songs.

Listening now. Wreckage is great. I get a late 90's rock feel to it mixed with something more recent...almost a certain kind of country feel? Can't quite place it.

In a couple spots it's reminiscent of Petty's Learning To Fly. This is the song I'm stuck on like a mental patient. I cannot stop listening to it. For whatever reason I connect with it big time.

Yes I get a bit of that too, good call out. I am in the same boat on this one, it is a great song.

This is the first PJ album in years - if you don't like this one then clearly this isn't your band

Like I said this producer did the damn near impossible and convinced the band to make an actual PJ record

I've been listening to this album a lot lately and I love it, but the song I have stuck in my head is Learning To Fly. Now I finally realize why, so thank you!

Finally got my vinyl from 10c.

I'm not an audiophile, but after hearing it on Spotify so many times, it sounds so damn good on vinyl.

The album is completely clear. The black is from my mat.

I agree, Watt got Pearl Jam to sound like Pearl Jam again.

Mine will finally be here today too. I dont think I will order from 10 Club again. I saw on reddit that apparently they overcharged some people for shipping and have been giving refunds.

The shipping issue was figured out pretty quickly after the vinyl was made available to purchase so yes some people got overcharged initially but were given immediate refunds from what I saw on their forum.

I paid $13.30.

Just saw that it was for multiples.

If can, get the FLAC or vinyl.

The sound on Spotify doesn't do it justice.

Still listening to this most recent record. Great piece of work!

Not sure there was an official Pearl Jam thread, I seem to remember a longer form one recently surrounding one of their tours? Anyways, for y'all fans Mike and Jeff had an over hour interview on Rick Beato's channel recently. Highly recommend checking it out.

Matt Cameron Leaving Pearl Jam

Quote:

After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam. Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter. I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It's been an incredible journey. More to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Peace and Love,
Matt Cameron
It's crazy to think he had been with the band for 27 years. I remember seeing them at Reunion Arena in '98 (The Dennis Rodman show) shortly after he replaced Jack Irons.

That was my reaction as well. 27 years!!!

Was there any rumblings of this coming?

Too soon to call Josh Freese?

Will be interesting to see what the band does. Based on their posting, it doesn't seem like it will prevent them from moving on

When I saw them in DFW last, their touring 3rd guitarist guy (Josh?) filled in while Matt has COVID. Wonder if they'll just go with him..?

I was at there and, honestly, I'd put it in the top 3 PJ shows I've been to. It was probably because they only played one song from this millennium, but Josh Klinghoffer brought a new energy to the band that night.

Smart money is on Josh or Abe Lobriel.

why not Dave Krusen?
He's been active touring with candlebox in recent years, and has sat in with PJ.

Let's bring it all back around full circle.

Gonna miss Matt's backing vocals in PJ perhaps the most.

Died in a bizarre gardening accident. The authorities said it was best to leave it unsolved.

Choked on vomit. It was actually someone else's vomit. Shame that you can't really dust for vomit.

They made out better than Dave Abbruzzese, though. He just exploded on stage. One of dozens of people to spontaneously combust every year...

Very grateful he left the band before he blew up.

Dang. Didn't even know this album came out and just listening to it now because this is at the top of this forum. I'm a fan but obviously out of touch.

The connection between Something Special (which doesn't feel like PJ or Vedder to me but is a good song) and Setting Sun (which feels like Vedder but maybe not PJ) is really interesting.

Welcome to April 2024.

I've seen them 4 times in 2 states since then and heard the entire album live.

Scared of Fear
Wreckage
Dark Matter
Waiting for Stevie

are my favorites after a year plus - added those to my PJ GH playlist so they get frequent rotation.

These are great. I really loved Setting Sun as a closer last years concerts.
