It's just PJ copying Black Circle's tribute video clip.

So are we headed towards three videos for the same song? That seems...excessive.

That being said, I will watch all three. This song has its hooks in me.

The back (better more interesting) half of this song is well more interesting than the first.
That it feels a little disjointed.


Maybe like a longer version of the song That has two distinctive halves...

It reminds me of hearing Riot Act for the firs time in the sense that it really sticks in me. It's mood and what it evokes in me is so palpable and visceral. I've heard it now more than three dozen times and I keep finding new things to love, new roads in.

The truth is I never thought Pearl Jam would be capable of making me feel like this again. Because I'm not 16 anymore. Because I've found new artists and outlets. Because I really though of them as middle aged men who are comfortable in their skin, in their place, in their work and not looking to stretch or challenge but to inspire and (pardon the obvious metaphor) ride that wave...

I'm stunned at how listenable and memorable and meaningful this song is to me right now. I loved Ole. I liked CDM more than everyone else. But this? This is a completely different level. I just can not believe Pearl Jam had this song in them and that they wanted to release it this late in their careers. What a fucking statement.

The best band in the world, my favorite band of all time... is fucking back. Even if the rest of the album is unlistenable, how about DOTC?! I mean...
water!

I keep going back to Stone saying "it's not the record that any one of us individually would have made" and "it's really us"

I think both of those are very positive statements; I mean, their good records weren't taken over by any particular members' tastes and the "bad" records kind of were

I hope that by "us" he means to an extent that fans will recognise as PJ
