people have been saying it doesn't have the traditional song structure / "no chorus" / "doesn't go anywhere" / copy and paste job etc since it came out

that's what I'm calling "loose", the fact that so many people in here think they could have "fixed it" in some way

I'm sure BO'B thinks he could have, too

It feels like a lot of later Pearl Jam is chasing Hitchhiker. It's a shame it didn't make Binaural (though that album is pretty great as is) because it just feels like they didn't have the guts to include it and they've regretted it ever since.

I'd love to hear each band member privately talk about this song.

Nah.

Who Ever Said > Glorified G
Superblood Wolfmoon > Dissident
Dance of the Clairvoyants > Leash
Quick Escape > Smile
Alright > I'm Open
Seven O'Clock > Wishlist
Never Destination > Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Take the Long Way > Better Man
Buckle Up > Mankind
Comes Then Goes > Indifference
Retrograde > Soon Forget
River Cross > Thumbing my Way

Easy enough. Could probably have included more Riot Act stuff, but I feel it's not always considered heyday era PJ.

I respect your opinion, but I shook my head so hard it almost fell off at every one of these!

if we're saying 20 years ago was their heyday Dance of the Clairvoyants is as good as any single off of binaural or riot act. i dont think superblood wolfwoon is better than grievance, but i like it more than save you.

again, I respect that but I don't agree

I'm looking through that list and thinking about how underrated "Dissident" is in here; it's melodic as heck and delivered like *chef's kiss* and the lead guitar? oof

and "Thumbing my Way" is the prettiest thing they've ever done for me some days

I love Gigaton because I didn't think they had it in them anymore; that definitely influences my opinion -- it's their best work since Riot Act for me, but not better than Riot Act and probably not equal to it

Gigaton is the 8th wonder of the world
