new (old) song: Cold Confession

[Blenheim Augustine]

This reminds me a lot of Army Reserve absent Jeff. There's something about the vocal melody and even the notes.

Yeah I can hear that - I wonder if that was the reason for leaving it off?

Something was booted for Gone.

Yes, you're right.

[Thejambi]

Not to bring down the party, but the verse has an almost "inside job-y" kinda melody... minus the horrible lyrics

Overall the song is more All or None to me than anything else. And that is a good thing.

I also hear the connection. It's a much more appropriate use of all the vocal mannerisms he used in Inside Job.

[stip]

this is easily the most popular song on RM in forever. Maybe one or two songs on Binaural come close. I'd have to look at old polls.

I seem to remember RM having a pretty big hard-on for Force of Nature.

nothing like this.

It's fair to say that this song is a prime candidate for an album closer. Maybe Ed just conceded on this one and let Mike have his Inside Job.

[stip]

it's a pretty down song, and I bet they wanted S/T to end on an optimistic note.

[stip]

i wonder where that little ditty boom starts playing at the end would have gone if the song didn't fade out.

True. Inside Job does have a certain cheesy optimism to it.

I really like this kind of Pearl Jam track... a bit sombre, moody, loose song structure.

I like CC but I'd still take more than half of those over it

[stip]

Parachutes, Wishlist, the End, Just Breathe, and Man of the Hour are my maybes.

5 glorious stars.

I think, think its my favourite song since the binaural material. Time will tell .

This.

[Thenews15]

I'm hoping this was a PR move and let it "leak" to see if people would like these songs. Maybe they'll see this reaction and put it on the new album, though they probably re-recorded it. Maybe they haven't nailed down the tracklist and have 15 or so songs in the running for 12 spots...Man I'm hoping this therory is right....

but I know I'm dead wrong, one can dream.

lyrics yet?

I honestly don't think PJ had anything to do with this.

I really wish I was hearing what other people are. I hear a (slightly) glorified jam. The song has no dynamics or musical changes, and Eddie sounds like he was huffing dust beforehand. Also, I mentioned this elsewhere, but I don't even think Matt is drumming on this.

It's got a good dark vibe, but it's not a song. I don't think anything on S/T is better than this, and that album is pretty not-so-good.

Boy. To each there own and all that but this song is top tier. It's rich, natural, honest and enticing. It's not trying to over do itself and that's what I love about it.

Yeah, I don't want to take anything away from people liking it, but I can't name another PJ song that doesn't have a chorus or bridge or another part that gives the song movement. This just feels like a compelling sketch, to me. And I really do think the singing is substandard.

You're right.......they really should have decided they had to write a chorus no matter what. (Please see my signature)
