It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out. Tough to predict

I need RM to come around a bit quicker on Backspacer, so i can devote my full energies to praising this album!

Want to know how much an album sucks? People could pick any song on the album to eliminate and nobody else gives a shit. No debate whatsoever.

Very true

We had fools defending tracks all over Backspacer. Here? "Hmm yeah sure, I can see that"

For me, it's a super easy 2 song elimination with Yellow Moon and Future Days. Then there's a tier of about 4 tracks that are basically the same. Went with LTRP.

I prefer Lightning Bolt to Backspacer by some margin. I wouldn't classify any of these songs as top tier, but there's 4 or 5 that I really like, a couple more solid ones, and a few duds. I struggle to go back to Backspacer after listening to this, actually.

Round 1 Eliminations
Future Days: 26%
Let the Records Play: 19%
My Father's Son: 13%

I'm a bit surprised by MFS, as that was one of the songs people down on L-Bolt were drawn to.

Future Days remains a lovely little heart on sleeve ballad, but there are far too many miserable grinches around here to appreciate it.

Getaway and Swallowed Whole. Swallowed Whole is fine. Getaway is way too generic. If the whole song was done in the style of the scratchy outro I'd feel differently.

I really enjoy the rest of the songs. I flat out love Mind Your Manners, which is a top 20 song for me (maybe ever top 15) and probably my favorite Pearl Jam song since Do the Evolution. Everything else is good to really good, and stifled by the clinical feel of the album.
