I wouldn't say it's a song I particularly enjoy while listening to, at least not at this point.

Perhaps I'll feel differently once I can hear it without the transcode murk, but I'm a little doubtful.
you're insane.
It is baffling.

I don't think this song is the second coming; it's good but just not the thing I most want from Pearl Jam in 2020

I thought it was what I wanted until I got this and something different. And it turns out I wanted something else.


This song was an excellent driving companion as I went to go pick up dinner

I was just talking to Gabby (my partner) yesterday, we were saying how much we can't wait to go on a road trip with this album blasting in the car when all this quarantine stuff blows over

I'm more excited by River Cross vibes at this stage in my life, but this song is still 4 stars; didn't know PJ still had it in them

Son and I went on a long drive today and blasted this. It was sunny, spring warm, and everything else that's happening...

It was fantastic.

Definitely my favorite on this album. I get why it wouldn’t be everyone’s favorite, but I can’t get enough of this one.

This is the absolute 100% possible peak of what I ever thought modern Pearl Jam could possibly be.

Im just stunned by this song. Where did it come from? They haven't returned to this sound since the 90s. Where did this come from?? I didn't know they knew how anymore.

The vocal harmonies are so 90's, so so sweet :D They haven't properly done that since Breathe, I think.
I remember smiling from ear to ear the moment I first heard that chorus.
Great, great stuff.

This is better, though. It solved the chorus problem ATW has.

I hear Unthought Known, but "much to be done" is way better than "nothing left"
