When a band is but a fraction of Pearl Jam, but they aren't zero Pearl Jam.

Those chorus lyrics reminded me of this:

Btw, definitely had a little PTSD moment with “upcoming album.” 2018 anyone?

I like the track. It's very pretty. The lyrics about the freeway are a little weird, but overall it's very pleasant. Tom Petty vibes.

Will there be more songs about driving or about water?

Maybe he’ll just come out of nowhere with a wild song about artificial insemination or something

His voice sounds weird. Like if you 3D printed his actual voice.

Nice little ditty. Too much chorus repetition though.

Yeah, I agree with this, but it's mostly the first verse that is jarring like that. Overall, I'd just rate this song as "inoffensive."

Cool though that's he's been actively writing music. I'm sure there'll be one song that I dig quite a bit on the album. That's really all I'm hopeful for.

Josh solo is fine. Im not sure the song calls for something out of this world at all.

Also, its a rock song that cites Petty, but dad´s rock? im not even sure whats that.

I take it as vanilla and inoffensive radio rock? But honestly its music made my a dad who's pushing 60 for an audience that i'd expect in large part to be 40+...im not sure what else we should be expecting here?
