Pearl Jam On: Lightning Bolt

I think, uh, I think Sirens and Infallible

Are both, kind of feel like territory

That we've maybe touched on a little bit

But just really, sort of expanded our range

For us to be able to kind of do

Those ones sonically seem like something beyond where we've been

And that we're capable of a little more orchestrated

And a little more of an orchestrated sound

Even though it's still pretty simple in terms of the instrumentation

That, just this, it's just a wider, uhm, a wider sound

I think if you really wanted to go down the road

You could go with Pendulum

In terms of like, going (mhm), to a dark, different route

Or a experimental route

To me, it seems like a progression from Backspacer

Like, I think sonically we had a certain thing going on

On that record that we built upon

Just, the scope is I think a lot bigger, you know?

Melodically, it's, I think it's, it's pretty, pretty awesome

But I think we were able to sorta

Add some really nice keyboard effects

And, you know, different guitar sounds

It seems really like, even more so than Backspacer

This is a record that each song, if we just

Play the, the nuts and bolts of what's there

It's gonna come across, uhm, in a live situation

That foundationally, they seem like, very well structured, very well

And, and simply structured in a way that makes them very playable

Yeah, I think the instrumentation and the interplay

Is better than the last record (yup)

I think we're not all playing the same thing (yup)

Guitars, really have grown

Like, I've really been appreciating the guitar playing on the record

Like, the more that I listen to it, like it

Seems like there's more unique sounds and parts

On this record than there was last record
