Dance of the Clairvoyants

[scrub12]

if you woulda told me 24 hours ago this would have a 90% approval rating and McP would be waxing rhapsodic over it whilst cutuphalfdead said it was good i woulda laughed in your face.

Upset of the century.

[Birds in Hell]

Seems that Quboz in the UK is the only place you can purchase a FLAC version of the song currently: https://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/dance ... v3wd6jo8db

Unfortunately it's region-restricted so I can't buy it.

I’ve probably listened to the song 50 times by now but I’m still hearing new things, particularly in the outro. I don’t feel like the song is too long at all, as some have eluded too. Headphones is definitely the way to go with this one though.

[Simple Torture]

My mother posted a link to the video for the song on my Facebook timeline. What a time to be alive.

Color me surprised, at the band and RM. I was thoroughly expecting the RM folk to say, as a consensus "I wanted something different, but I wanted MY different, not this!". I was dreading coming on here and reading the reaction and thought it would ruin my journey in discovering this song. Well, it hasn't and I'll eat my words for a bit.

This song is a grower. There's lots to dig into here, and I'm barely there in really understanding it, particularly Ed's lyrics and delivery and Matt's beat. It's just a jarring juxtaposition to hear our dude's voice over synths like this. I looked at the title and the name of the band underneath it while listening and grinned. This is interesting for these guys and definitely worth revisiting alot. I'm really happy they tried this and feel very fortunate to be a fan of a band we can go along for rides like this. Even more encouraging is this theme of collaboration that is coming up in the band members' comments. This isn't just the band working up a version of one the guys' songs, this is them really collaborating. I'm gonna guess Jeff was driving that aspect. I'm totally down for this journey.

So this is Pearl Jam's fuck you to Seattle, huh? I respect their decision to experiment with new sounds, but in a way I'm glad Andrew and Kurt and Layne and Scott aren't around to hear this, because I know it would break their hearts.

Scott Stapp is dead?

[Thejambi]

Jesus.

It’s nice to make fun of fans instead of the band for a change

Couldn’t agree more

[liebzz]

Yikes. It really creeps me out at this point when people comment comparing Eddie to those other rock stars of the time. I mean it’s a totally different time and place now and those guys didn’t make it here I guess.

For the record I would bet Kurt Cobain would be into this song.

Comment from Reddit:

“Hate it. They lost me after Ten.”

Fuckin lol. Guys, they lost me 10 albums and 30 years ago but I thought I’d weigh in.

Jorge is unimpressed so the world hasn't completely gone off the rails.

he made the early mistake of playing contrarian on this one and his only choice now is to triple down on his first take.

I appreciate RMers who really and sometimes rightfully so crapped all over Pearl Jam since Riot Act. I totally get that.

I am happy to see some of those people like this new song. It makes their prior takes more honest and gives weight to them.

yeah that's basically what I meant, too

[jackcameron]

I really we get a Stone breakdown of every song for this album. I loved listening to the Vs. anniversary because of that.

Good point. His Vs anniversary was really good.

Where can I find this???
