Lightning Bolt and Gigaton had really great songs, but they felt like Pearl Jam on autopilot. Looking forward to Dark Matter.

Pearl Jam is still the best live show Ive ever seen. I saw them during the Lightning Bolt tour. No opener, they played for 3 hours, and Vedder did a 6 song acoustic set in the middle.

I've seen them live 5-6 times over the years including on the Lightning Bolt tour and they're always incredible shows. Love that they focus on 1-2 particular albums per tour so they can dig into their deep cuts.

My problem with Lightening Bolt is that the songs are actually good. During that tour, they were playing the songs with so much energy they sounded fantastic. For whatever reason that energy was no where to be found on the album.
