I really like this song. Oddly, it's the first one that really sounds like a post-Lightning Bolt/logical-extension song.

I like it. A pinch of Yellow Moon and a dash of REM.

It is very Lightening Bolt but I think it really works here.

Ed's singing is unbearable. Kind of an interesting song though. 2.8.

BoB would have taken the climactic jam out of this song, but it's all the better for leaving it in

First half of this song is very R.E.M. and is the logical extension of Swallowed Whole. The second half end jam is everything I want Pearl Jam to be.

This is the most Lightning Bolt song on the record.

The production and the outro kind of save it, but I think this rates as my #12 on Gigaton.

The end of this is the Into The Wild call. Really nice. I don't mind this one.

Just on first listen, but this hits the nail on the head.
