"We've had one session of writing and it has yielded ... about five ideas so far," McCready said during a conference call with reporters about this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn., which Pearl Jam will headline on June 14.
"Some of it's kind of poppy and some of it's a little hard. We want it to grow up a little bit. We have to revisit it a few times."
Pearl Jam is working on the album, the follow-up to 2006's self-titled effort, with longtime associate Brendan O'Brien.
And though the band is known for previewing new material at its shows, McCready says that's unlikely to happen on Pearl Jam's North American tour, which starts June 11 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"We might get into some sort of jam," he said. "We have about 200 songs to pull from, so we'll do that and maybe do some obscure B-sides. For new stuff, I don't know if we have it refined enough to want to play it in front of an audience yet. We don't want to hack in front of everybody."
