I so agree with you here...fuck...that album is out of this world...I think it's Pearl Jam's best so far. And yes to the Springsteen thing. Thumbing my way is definitely Springsteen-esque.

I'm starting to get excited about Pearl Jam again. Binaural and a couple of mediocre live gigs I attended had me down on the Jammers for a while but the new album sounds great so far. Trying not to get my hopes up too high...
