Yes!

Hoping they announce a Toronto show. They are tied with the Hip as my favourite band

I'm in the lounge at Panama City airport and just listened to this for the first time.

Normally I hate new Pearl Jam songs for the first little while.

I fucking love this song.

I'm diggin' the new song. Reminds me a bit of Riot Act. Hopefully this means a new album is on the way.

I was/am confused why it says 2017 single

From what I can gather, it's the 2017 holiday Ten Club single. So perhaps my hopes of a new album are premature.

It's like when they released "Ole!" in 2011, I think - although this is ten times the song that "Ole!" was ("Ole!" might be the worst Pearl Jam song of all-time, and that's including "My Father's Son").

[Tthip]

Ah.
They just verified it is from the new album.

[kieffer]

It's a good song! If their new album sounds like this, that is a positive in my books.

Yup. So excited!

From my email yesterday:

“Can’t Deny Me” from the band’s forthcoming album is now available on PearlJam.com and all digital and streaming services.

Surprised to see all the love for the song on here, seeing as on both YouTube and Facebook it’s getting so much hate. It’s not what I was expecting, but I don’t mind it.

They played it live last night for the first time (South American tour kicked off last night)

I just read its been the longest time between two Pearl Jam shows ever.

[NWOntario]

Pearl Jam played its first show in a year-and-a-half yesterday and they totally and utterly killed it - I checked out a Periscope for part of the set and they sounded frigging fantastic. "Come Back" was dedicated to Chris Cornell; Matt was wearing a Chris Cornell shirt; not sure if anything else was said or done, but I'd imagine it's still too hard for Ed to talk about (let alone Matt, Stone, and Jeff...). Can't wait for Chicago.

I don't think it's the best thing they've ever done, but I like the punky protest vibe and the unhinged vocal from Ed. This song wouldn't sound out of place on an album like No Code or Riot Act. Considering the current U.S. political climate, I predict this is gonna be an angry album.

[sean.bonner]

Man, there's a lot of hate for Lightning Bolt out there.

I think its a great.

Let That Record Play!
