One of the more solid songs on the album. Matt is a good song writer. Better than alot of the crap on this album. This song is actually trying to do something inventive with it's riffs and rhythms. It's kinda like My Fathers Son meets Ghost meets Soundgarden.

I'd give it a 3 on the PJ scale, but a 4 on the Gigaton scale.

Average rocker.

I like this one. Reminds me of Attrition or certain parts of Worse Dreams from King Animal.

This one is the least catchy of the bunch but its cool as fuck. This is a grower.

It’s got some balls. It’s a great song.

The chorus is catchy as hell.

I love that female backing vocal. It gives it a somewhat eerie quality.

I have this stuck in my head.

This is just classic cameron melody as well. I can actually hear this as a wellwater tune.

do you guys think this was originally written for Soundgarden?

Homeboyd · Post by **Homeboyd** » Fri March 20, 2020 7:59 pm

This song might actually be good! I think the placement after Never Destination hurts it a bunch as that song has a similar feel but is worse in almost every way and feels like an outtake from Backspacer

It wouldn’t surprise me. It has that feel.

ditto

it does feel like Attrition but also something from WWC for sure. Its more WWC than Soundgarden to me.

Definitely the song I like the least. The performances are all fine, but it's more interesting than compelling. It doesn't ring true to me. I like the outro, but it feels like it should be a bridge. The song ends a bit too abruptly.

But on the plus side, this answers the question I've occasionally wondered - would I have liked Soundgarden more if Eddie Vedder was singing their songs. Evidently not.

I think ND and take the Long way in a row slows down the album. I think ND can grow on me, but I feel this one won't.

I wanted these guitars to be louder
