Somewhat mainstream for these forums, I know, but I saw someone else post about "Vitology" so I thought maybe I'd give this discussion a try...

Pearl Jam's albums always have at least 1 somg that completely blows me ayay.  eg "Black" on 10 or "Yellow Leadbedder" on Vitology.  They are a really talented band that, when they live up to their true potential, sound as if they are posessed by Hendrix himself.

SO, that being said...

Everything I've heard off of their new album is absolute crap.  I keep waiting to hear that "completely blow me away" song, and it just hasn't arrived.  People on these forums seem to know and appreciate music.  So, if anyone has found this song on Pearl Jam's new album, tell me, and I'll go out and buy it (or at least download the song).  

I realize the album itself hasn;t come out yet, but the radio's already played a couple of singles off of it.  SO, if anyone can help me, please do...

i don't think Yellow Leadbedder is on vitology.  i think it's a b side or something off a sound track.  i liked their stuff until yield, and i only liked some of yield.  i thought no code was a very underrated album, and i liked the raw "live" sound of that disc.  eddie vedder's voice, which i used to love, either changed and got crappier or i just don't like it anymore.

TrueNeutral:
Yeah, that was me posting about Vitalogy. I'm a big Pearl Jam fan. And no, Yellow Ledbetter was not on Vitalogy. Personally, my favourite song from Vitalogy is Tremor Christ.

That said, if you didn't like the songs that came out, then I can't tell you anything, because personally, I love the entire leaked version of the album.

alyosha:
sorry, it was corduroy on VItalogy.  Yellow Leadbetter was the highlight of "Lost Dogs" which was, indeed, a collection of B-sides...

Form what I've heard lately, they just don;t have the raw instrumental power that they once had.  I sw them live about a year ago, and they just weren;t up to snuff.

TrueNeutral:
I liked Corduroy, but hearing it twenty times a day kind of killed it for me. Also, my favourite on Lost Dogs is Footsteps, but probably only because it completes The Mamasan Trilogy on disc for me. I think the best track of The Avocado Album is Army Reserve.

I think this album isn't really up to their usual stuff either, but their bad stuff is still better than most bands good stuff. I think it suffers from them trying to make it a 'return to form' album, it sounds a lot more like their earlier stuff such as Ten, VS and Vitalogy, as opposed to their recent stuff. They almost come off like ripoffs of themselves.
