i think anyone whos spent 160 odd quid to get a reading ticket, and as a genuine music fan, would have the common sense to pick up a few pearl jam cds, if not then they might miss out on an amazing gig for them, so i think its safe to say people are going to get into pearl jam becuase of reading

EDIT: cock? no f**king need mate

Yeah, I can say I'm already one of those people. When the annoucement was made I was disappointed, but I think they're the band I'm looking forward to third most now. I honestly didn't know who they were before, but they are a grunge band I've found and I can enjoy.

I've got Riot Act and Rearviewmirror, have to say their older stuff sounds alot better. I'll definitely be into them when CW comes round, think I'm gonna look into picking up the new album as well.

I am going to get some CD's...if i like them i will go and see them and im sure they will put on a great show.

But if i dislike there music, or just dont get into them, i will quite happily see Maximo Park, and im sure they will put on a great show.

The new album is about four thousand times better than their last effort. It leaked yesterday and I think virtually everyone will prefer it to Riot Act...and probably Binaural too. There aren't really any 'weak' songs on it and there are at least 3 or 4 absolute classics.

Severed Hand is an intense, upbeat rocker in the vein of Porch. Unemployable is a massive departure from their sound. Very interesting and suits his voice perfectly today.

Then the last three songs are really beautiful. Army Reserve, Come Back (lighters aloft!) and Inside Job. The last one especially.

I think Vs is an essential album aswell, maybe not as much as ten, but for tracks like animal, daughter, dissident, elderly woman, glorified G, indifference. tis cracking still and highly recommended

Am I the only one who hates Severed Hand?!

Everytime I listen to it I just think "...Porch was better". I try and listen to it without thinking of Porch, but that riff makes it imposssible. I guess it could sound cool if they tacked it onto the end of Porch, abut as a stand alone song I think it's terrible.

Have you heard the song?

The riff is very nearly the same as the Porch riff. It's not harsh at all. If they use the same riff then there's obviously going to be comparison. In my opinion Porch is 10 times as good as Severed Hand.

I love every PJ album, but too be honest this is shaping up to be my least favourite. I've heard WWS, SH, Unemployable and Parachutes. WWS and Unemployable are quite good but nothing special, Parachutes doesn't do much for me and SH is pretty poor.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
