That's designed for playing Sirens on, surely.

I grew up with GnR, so I don't hate them, but...worlds colliding a bit. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Related to that, here's one for you all: most cock rock PJ song? Go...

I was thinking this too. Maybe not overall IMHO, and I like the song a lot, but that opening bit of wah guitar sounds pretty cock rock.
Yeah, I can't think of a better example either. I really like the rest of the song, but the opening makes me cringe.

Sad to think that such a cockrock little moment is also their unassailable highwater mark for the last 11 years.

My Father's Son continues to be the song I'm most intrigued about. No one can seem to describe it.

A lot of hate/dislike for AtW on here huh? I always thought it was a pretty uplifting song and, dare I say it, the closest thing to "classic Pearl Jam" that they've done in the past 15 years.

I liked the fact that Mirella took a good stab at it.
