I'd say he's only right about Low Light :haha:
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Low Light is so wonderful. Red Dot is just kind of...there.

Bingo. I think I've only listened to red dot twice in it's entirety. I've listened to yield about 4,000 times.

DTE straight into MFC is problematic. Red Dot does a nice job of pallet (sp?) cleansing.

Jeff needs to write more of their acoustic songs. Nothingman, Low Light, Nothing As It Seems. :heartbeat:

Given what seems to be Jeff's hands-on involvement in the artwork and video so far, I'm hoping he has some songwriting credits. We need some Whale Song magic on this album. I'm actually hoping he wrote 'Yellow Moon' rather than Ed.

We need Irons back for some Whale Song magic. He wrote that.

Oh shit, you're right. I always get it confused with Sweet Lew, which is a horrible song. The reason I get them confused is that I used to think Whale Song was horrible too. I was so wrong.

It's not an extended version, it's a different track altogether. Red Dot is not contained anywhere within the mp3 of Small Mosquito that dime posted. It's just another track with steel drums and chanting.
