Anyone get this today. Itunes has it. It's excellent. The deluxe version on itunes includes the Body of War songs "No More" (both the studio and a killer live version) and "Here's To The State" (live)

Picked it up and listened to it on a flight yesterday..Awesome stuff...Again, very EV, this seems like the perfect project for him...As tacky as it sounds though, I don't hesitate t'say that this'll likely be my sountrack for this adventure abroad of mine....

I picked it up as well and it is very good. Very Mellow for the mostpart but still very Eddie Vedder. Most of the songs are relatively short only 2 or 3 minutes. I would recommed it.

I'm listening to it right now for the first time. They are mainly short songs...and the genre I would classify it in is folky-rootsy-rock. (If that is a genre.) Anyways, its definetly not Pearl Jam... and I'm not saying that as a negative or positive thing... it is what it is.

And a quick little side note...
The guy that produced this album also produced "In Between Evoultion"...and "No Threat".

Normally I cannot stand albums with tracks that are so short, but this one is great! Seems that anything that Kasper puts his name on is incredible.
Well worth the 9.98 :thumb: :thumb:

Got it, gave it a few listens. Not a huge fan of it. Maybe it'll grow on me. It's definitely NOT like Pearl Jam, that I can attest to.

There's a "hidden track". Once 'Guarenteed' ends, it goes silent for a period of time. Then the guitar kicks back in, and Eddie half sings/half moans the melody to guarenteed.

I have been listening to this album, and enjoing it very much.
Then all of the sudden I was blown away when I read in the paper today that Sean Penn actually approached Mr. Vedder and asked him to write the soundtrack to a book he was adapting for film.
I had no idea this was the premise behind this.

Excellent, EXCELLENT CD!
My wife bought this for me as a "coming home" sort-of-gift for my return from EuroHip. I love it!
Wish it was longer though!
