Help Help is terrific.

It's a bottom five song for me, including all songs Pearl Jam have ever released. Awful lyrics. Sorry.

I guess I can't get too upset or judgmental about it. You ding-dongs seem to like Habit an awful lot and I fucking hate that stupid piece of shit song. I guess I deserve to be on this side of things.

That's true. When I bought No Code, I wanted another Vs. Then when I first heard it, I felt a mix of disappointment and uncertainty. However, that soon changed. A couple of days in, and I was wearing out the disc. Habit was different though, I loved it from day one. That never changed.

Same for me. Well, expect the opposite. What I mean is that I hated Habit from day one and that's never changed. No Code should be my favorite Pearl Jam album. Ah, what could have been...

They've got some songs I like. They've got some songs I don't. I hate their image and their whole rapey-uber-bro aesthetic. I don't own any of their records. But I used to listen to a mix tape that combined UYI 1 & 2 a lot on my walk-man.
