This is how I plan to get through this last 10-day wait. The rules are pretty simple:

1. Get a large bottle of booze. Or, like, a 24-pack of beer.

2. Put it right next to your computer.

3. Spend hours reading / watching / listening to new Pearl Jam interviews.

4. Anytime ANYONE in the band uses the word "galvanizing," take a drink.

5. See you guys on the 20th!

Thanks for the welcome!

I look forward to engaging in all the hilarious and <ahem> galvanizing (take a drink, take a drink!) discussions I've read here over the years.

Y'all do great work, and I thank you for it

A better one is this, and this can apply to any album they've released in the past decade:

a "return to form" or a "return to their anthemic Ten days" or something along those lines.

Christ, Riot Act, in many interviews and articles, was called a return to "the old style of doing things."

I think the RA comment had to do with recording and production techniques. It was recorded live in the studio, and was the "anti-protools" record. Which is why it sounds so warm and vintage.

'elder statesmen' is one of the worst.

I will always hate "rising from the ashes of Mother Love Bone."

It's been 20 years, let's move on.

what about "concise"....

man, they've described the record as "concise" soo many times, you could really get a buzz on

I think you should do it with everytime they mention something along the lines of "one of the best .... we've ever done" (be it lyrics, song, whatever). That and "return to form" would get you REAL drunk.

Can we just play Asshole, instead. I used to love that game. "Drink, Asshole!"

heh, exactly. Every album since and including Yield (with the possible exception of Binaural) has been hailed as a "return to form"...or "pearl jam is back"....or "pearl jam sounds invigorated"....or "eddie isnt pissed off anymore", etc. Riot Act was most definitely described as a"return to form."

Every review will bring up 90s pearl jam and compare the new album to that. "<Inset hard rocking song here> is their most aggressive song since vitalogy." "<insert ballad here> Eddie hasnt sounded this good in a decade." Or some lame headline like Pearl Jam Is "ALive" Again. Enough!!!!!

Every time Nirvana/ Cobain is mentioned
Every time Mike uses the word "Stoked"
Every time the interviewer asks about writing in the post- Bush era

... Punchy.
