I already like it, but otherwise, I agree. Wouldn't be surprised if I change my tune about this being less than all of Gigaton over time. There's a lot to like about the song. It's got legs, I think.
yeah, its a pretty cool song with many things to unpack but i feel Gigaton is perfect the way it is. Retrograde went from meh to fuck yeah in a couple of months for me.

I gave it 3 stars. I appreciate whenever they step away from "straightforward rock song" mode and I usually love Matt's songwriting but compositionally there's not much grabbing me here. The Stone song is way better.

The Pearl Jam song is a grower. The Stone song is a shower.
I think it’s easier to like and appreciate the Stone song right away because it’s all up front and it’s got a good groove. I really like the song, but after several listens I’m not sure it’s quite as good as I initially thought it might be. On the other hand, the PJ song seems to reveal its self with repetition, only growing in esteem with more familiarity. I really dig both songs, but the Pearl Jam song is better. I think time with show that for many of you.
Between this new Stone track and the one they released on the xmas single, I'm SUPER excited for a new Stone solo album. I have no idea if he's working on one or not. But I'd love it if he is.

Well then your opinion carries no weight. It is based on insufficient evidence and is basically stated just so you can read your own insufficiently informed drivel.
