And if this is as spritzy as it gets AND they get it out of the way 9 minutes into the album, I think I'll be very, very happy.

Ahh...even better!
Nothing greater than mid-day (depending on where you are, of course) laughter.

This forum needs more opinions:

This song is completely okay. It reminds me of--I don't know, car shopping. I have no emotional connection to this material, but I really haven't truly connected to any Pearl Jam song since Riot Act, but perhaps I am merely dead inside.

Official rating: Did not do me irreparable harm

Yeah but how badly did you want to buy a car after?

In my head I keep hearing:
"I was the prisoner, the keys, and the cuffs"
(Which IMO is a pretty nice lyric)

After a few more listens, I've decided that Ed's singing is the problem. This could have been a much better song if his voice weren't so grating. It's truly baffling the people around him don't say something. Does anyone really think he sounds good? I can't wrap my mind around it. The weird grunting and moaning "ehhhAHHehhh"... "AHhehehHAHrrreitherummmm"... just embarrassing

Yeah the song has some decent stuff in it, but it's all undone with Ed's singing style and weak basic riff choices. The bridge part (I was a prisoner) just outright sucks. The main riff is OK, it could have been heavy but they went soft with it. The solo is cool but can't save the song.

It kind of reminds me of State of Love and Trust, but ran through a Backspacer filter. Meh. 2/5.

Pearl Jam have never played their best song, "Olympic Platinum", live. This destroys your stupid argument
Not sure how serious you are about Olympic Platinum, but I’d love it if they ever decided to play this just once.

It is peculiar. My theory is his vocal delivery is an effort to make up for the song's other shortcomings.

Too many of his vocals just seem like demo placeholder mumblings. I guess no one will know the difference in concert.

Piggy-backing a Xmas single reference, "Happy When I'm Crying" is legitimately one of their best songs. I hate it was relegated to nothingness.

I was going to go through the whole song and pick out the words and how he actually sings them... I stopped after this because I can't make out much of anything else and didn't feel like trying that hard..
