I actually had no idea that "Thin Air" was anything other than beloved -- at least, by everyone other than Stip and the everything-after-Vitalogy-and-before-S/T-is-just-too-weird-for-me crowd.

This has now slid into a solid 3 for me.

Fun that we got this song in an official form.

this song is definitely about having anonymous hitchhiker sex
On the side of the road
Lost and alone
To get it back

Much farther to go
So far from home
To get it back

Frozen in time
Turn on a dime
To get it back

Try to reach you before winter comes
Always a place for you in my heart

You're not alone
All used up
I'd give anything to talk to you

The prodigal son
The only one
To get it back

The mother and child
They’re lost for a while
They want you back

I was a bit harsh and gave it a 2 to begin with. But listening to it again I think it’s a 3 now.

Pretty cool song. I like the chill first main part he most. Absolutely do not care for the solo.
Unpopular opinion: I don't care for Josh Evans production. It might be better than Brendan on Lightning Bolt but holds no candle to Brendan's earlier work with Pearl Jam. It sound super sterile and artificial to me and often times way too busy where everything is just one big mush of sound.

I agree 100% with that statement with regard to this song specifically; I noticed it immediately. But I don't think it applies to Gigaton.

From a production standpoint, I'd still say their best sounding album is Riot Act or Vs, followed closely by Binaural.

Everything is falling into place...
Sometimes I put Thin Air on when I can’t fall asleep and within 2 repeat listens I’m zonked out. It’s PJ melatonin.

Listened to this in the car after not going back to it since the week of release. Solid song.
