Try and keep things civil-stip
The band keeps saying this new album is their most agressive ever.
Their statements made me wonder if they mean that the songs on the album collectively are more agressive than their previous albums (i.e. there are fewer slow songs on this album)
or if they mean that the songs on this album are more agressive than any other songs they've ever done.
Sounds like the new album has one slow love song, and the rest are upbeat, whereas previous albums have been pretty much 1/3 hard songs 1/3 medium songs and 1/3 slow songs.
Also was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on what are the most agressive Pearl Jam songs ever (including both live and studio)? My vote is Blood.

Go, Blood, STBC, Habit, and Lukin are certainly the angriest songs.
How do people define/understand aggressive?

When it comes to playing a song live, I've heard Eddie downright growl when he sings Blood and Do the Evolution. Those two get my votes as the angriest.

I wonder if when eddie talked about aggression he meant lyrical content. WWS has aggressive moments in the music and it's a hard driving song but the real bite comes from the lyrics.

while i do really like World Wide Suicide, it doesn't belong in this company imo.
only the chorus is really the truly aggressive part, the verse sounds like Undone (which is fairly mellow for a "rocker"), and the bridge is fairly light as well.
and y'all are forgetting a very important "agressive" song (and still my fave live song to hear)...

that's why i'm really curious to hear this new record, that's supposedly their "most agressive to date", because if World Wide Suicide is considered "agressive' by them, i wouldn't expect to hear stuff as heavy as Whipping, STBC, Animal, Go, DTE, Save You, etc., but i'm hoping there's at least 2-3 songs that are as heavy as those.

I believe circa-94 there was a poll in RS or the AP that asked what emotion one felt when listening to certain bands' music....
the overwhelming majority of people said that Pearl Jam music = Anger/Aggression.
