Is Buckle Up still a good song in your view?

it was described by Cohen as follows, which leaves things open to the imagination:
Buckle Up,” written by guitarist Stone Gossard, surfs a dexterous major-key guitar line and is one of the more abstract songs on the album, but serves as the perfect lead-in to Vedder’s “Comes Then Goes,” sporting Pete Townshend-worthy acoustic guitar aggression and the memorable lyric, “We could all use a savior from human behavior.”
It was my least favorite song on the album. But some are gonna LOOOOVE it. Mayyybe parachutes-like. Ok yes. It’s parachutes mixed with around the bend. But I love both those songs. Their baby? Not so much.


But again. This is based on one listen. I didn’t like Around the bend when I first heard it.
OK, valuable information

everyone hear that?

time to recalibrate

still a lot to look forward to here

I'm gonna focus not on the fact that Kid enjoys LB, but that No Code is his #2 album.

Lots of layered vocals. It sounds full without being polished. The drums sounded different. The last track is pure fucking magic. The same effect of indifference. The songs sound nothing alike but it’s that remarkable of a closer.

We had 3 months left to love this album and Kid-C took it away in a matter of minutes.

Honestly the descriptions, outside of Retrograde, don’t sound very LB. Hearing about all the layering and some of the things Evans says still has me optimistic.

perk up there, kiddo

a lot to like here

layering

dolby whatever

first 4 tracks sound great

some kind of parachutes-around-the-bend hybrid

river cross

sure there might be 2 spritzy punkers and an anthem

but there's probably a lot here you're gonna like
