Solid album, lots of compression and limited dynamic range

I know it’s fashionable to hate on PJ these days, but few bands can be around this long and continue to sell out almost every show they do. The whole album is a solid effort and reminds me of Yield but the mixing and production is definitely more raw sounding and loudness to the point the dynamic range takes a hit.

They are a shadow of what they once were. This sounds like a B-side version of Bon-Jovi
Doesn’t live up to the hype.

This album has many cringe moments and leaves you dissatisfied. Eddie’s vocals just aren’t up to par anymore and the mix is horrible.
This album is absolutely fantastic!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this album start to finish.
I’m not going to pretend to be an amateur music critic. The past doesn’t hold me back from enjoying anything new from these guys. The band has grown and evolved and so should you.
Excellent

I've been a PJ fan since the beginning. This is an amazing album from beginning to end. You can definitely hear their roots in Pink Floyd and The Doors. 9/10. Musically 10/10.
Lousy Production

The drums sound like cardboard boxes.

Current, Poignant, Musical, and Rockin as they ever were. Bravo! As they were a big part of my past, I'm so happy and surprised at how much I love this new record.

PJ lost it a very long time ago. Unfortunately, their last decent album was “Backspacer”
Meh

There are two Pearl Jam bands. The one that recorded Ten….one of the preeminent rock albums. And then there is the other band….that recorded almost everything else. That band…I don’t really care to go back to listen to other than to check if I’ve missed something that maybe time would reveal. Sadly, no. The first band still records a song from time to time…but few and far between. This….is still the way of things.

Who is the same as they were 30 years ago? It would be pretty sad if we were, no? It’s a good album, not great. I’ve been a fan since 1991 so def a little biased. But it’s clearly unfair to compare this work to what they did when they were in their early 20’s. Good effort from a great band. Still a fan…
