I agree Pendulum is even better live.

I’m also finding a new appreciation for Let the Records Play *duck*. I think it’s got an excellent groove and I like that Ed’s vocal delivery gives it some retro pop feel almost. It just works with the slick production of that song. I could also imagine a grittier production of that riff and it turning into a completely different song and that probably would have been great too. But I enjoy this nonetheless. I am sure we’d all be loving on this if it were part of a Gossard solo album.

Thats one i cant get into.
I like Stone´s performance but overall the song reeks of unfinished. They already did what they are trying to do there, and with better results and more organic ones.

It’s a good opener.

I’d hate it midset

I enjoy the song enough, and was fortunate to see the live debut. However, I recall having had higher expectations for the song, and the potential for LB in general, after this video was released.

"Hold On" is an enormous turd. Yet a lot of people seem to like it. I have no idea why.

That being said, I think that "Just A Girl" is awesome, and would have been classic with a real middle-8. Yet the band appears to think it's their worst song from that era. Maybe Eddie has a problem with the lyrics like "Brother"? I dunno, but it's good and doesn't deserve its status as a track buried on the Ten box in a rehearsal version.

funny you mentioned that, bc i almost mentioned "Just a Girl" being similar to "Hold On", in that i like the obscurity of the song more than the song itself. "Just a Girl" was always kind of awkward to me, and I think it is the lyrics – which feel kinda clunky. The song also has a slowed-down "Even Flow" vibe to me, so maybe the band thought they had a better version of that song already in the books

I do, indeed. It scratches that itch.

I like that it's not on Vs, yeah. But I still really dig the song.

The pre-chorus is a lot like the verse to Even Flow, yes. That might be a problem.

But damnit, I love those verse and chorus riffs. Should have been re-worked IMO.

that image is oddly relatable to PJ

the only thing that needs updating is Boom and Jeff switching sides

I'd pay good money for Stone to rock one of those see through shirts and Ed to wear knee high boots.

Hey, if you are going to go with extensive polish then go with it. I think Let the Records Play does that better than say Sirens, which had the makings of a great song but somehow came out just good and in large part due to the excessive polish and in another part because I don’t think the lyrics match the music.

I can totally imagine a Stone vocal giving "LTRP" just the shot of whimsy it needs.

In fact, now that you mention it, I can easily think of half a dozen Pearl Jam songs from the last 10 years that would be immediately improved by a Stone vocal. This is kind of a revelation.
