First 25 seconds sounds like it could be on Ten or Vs. Very early 90s.

Feels like this song loses its way after the second chorus.

I find the "much to be done" section a bit underwritten, like the "nothing left" section of Unthought Known (and accordingly Ed resorts to a "yeah yeah!" where something more interesting could be); but, "much to be done" is a much more memorably Pearl Jam turn of phrase, almost meme worthy really... so I can live with this

This is the maybe the most album track on the album in that it will be the most enhanced by experience the record as a record, rather than songs that show up on shuffle.

Easily my least favorite song on this great album. I can see skipping this one a lot.

Totally agree. And, to me, that's not a knock on this song at all. Alright literally bleeds into this one.

the short drum intro to this sounds like "Wanted (Dead or Alive)" by Bon Jovi is gonna start

I'm not mad about it

This gets better with each listen.

love love love the first moments of the song...someone said war on drugs? kinda feel like it...also something they could have done in 1993 too. Weird.

WTF is Eddie doing on this track

LoathedVermin72 · Post by **LoathedVermin72** » Fri March 20, 2020 3:15 pm

Jesus this song is frustrating. Love the music but Ed is doing everything he possibly can to murder it. Yeesh

God i fucking love this song.

legit feels like a summer breeze.

Love the rhythm of the vocals (sorry lv) and how they just bop along.

there's a lot of corniness to this one in the verse delivery

but, really like the chorus section (yes, it's totally Duran Duran)

and the back half of this song is fantastic

This song has clicked for me. Fastly becoming an anthem for the situation we are all living in right now.

"like a summer breeze" is right!

Really loving the line "This fucked up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck." right now.

This is maybe the most thoroughly wrong vocal performance of Eddie’s whole career. The music is so lovely and everything he does is so wildly miscalculated and just, well, wrong for the song.

I'm not hearing this at all. I could hear a different approach working, but I don't find this one to be unfit for the song.

the chorus is tough to sit through. Imagine i'll enjoy it at some point

One of my favorite songs on the album.
