Let this "pretty baby".... chime in for a second. 7:00 and Whoever Said are Pearl Jam catolog crushers. Name a mid tempo or ballad that can touch 7:00 or a rocker that can touch Whoever Said.

I like 7:00 and WES a lot, but let's not pretend there's nothing that can touch them

They're trying to make me their bitch. It could be regular newby treatment.

Bryan Adams/Momentary Lapse-era Floyd/Michael McDonald keys....perplexing tune thus far
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

"Rockers" that are better than Whoever Said:
Once, Even Flow, Why Go, Porch, Deep, Go, Animal, Blood, RVM, Last Exit, STBC, Whipping, Satan's Bed, Hail Hail, Habit, Lukin, Brain of J, DTE, Breakerfall, Gods Dice, Grievance, Insignificance, Save You...

I'm sure I'm missing a few but you get the point.

I agree, I'm just saying that songs which can "compete" are not necessarily better, but they're not necessarily worse either; we've had like a week with these songs, I'm not about to announce they're the best thing this band has ever done

Man I'm not seeing that at all. Ed has his occasional hangups but otherwise I think they're progressing.

this album is firmly the best thing they've done since Riot Act, but that and everything before it is immovable for me

I feel WES is their best opener since Last Exit. Seven O'Clock is a truly great song, there are very few mid-tempo songs they've done that are clearly better.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

Those are pretty simple in comparison though? I like the aggression of Animal, Ed shines on the chorus of Porch, Last exit is catchy and dark, etc. They all have their appeal but Whoever Said is more interesting. I forgot about RVM though- It definitely contends. Maybe Insignificance too.
