It pains me to see how many votes Never Destination and Buckle Up have in here. That's gonna make me love them even more.

I like Never Destination, but I’m having a hard time with Buckle Up.

I’m not feeling River Cross at all. Maybe it will click with me later, but for now, meh.

there is no "worst song" on Gigaton, which makes it not the best Pearl Jam album, but worthy to sit comfortably among them

Buckle up is the kind of song that's usually a swing and a miss for me. I love it, but I get why people wouldn't.

Yeah, I don’t think I flat out hate any song on the album. Most are at least decent, and some are really good.

I don’t flat out hate any song, but Buckle Up is the only one I don’t want to keep listening to.

I voted for Buckle Up. It’s not a bad song. To me it’s just Stone having his few minutes in the spotlight. The song really sticks out.

But I love Never Destination. Reminds me a bit of Tom Petty.

So many votes for Buckle Up is why we can't have nice thing (i.e. why we can't have great Pearl Jam albums instead of solid ones)

Right now, I'm feeling that the weakest link might be "River Cross." Despite the fact that the rest of the band contributes to it, it really has a feeling of being a Vedder solo song. It also sets itself up to only work as the closing song, a spot which I think would be better served by "Comes Then Goes."
