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

Power of Right - kinda meh for me on the first listen. It's *really* slick and a bit generic to my ears.

I'd say picture with elton and Fallout Today are my least favorite - to be honest.

Fallout Today is a bit forgettable and Picture - while lovely - is just fine.

The haves at least makes me feel something? Good or bad.

Get out. Are you telling me there are songs in the album that you like even less than The Haves??

Funny, I hadn't really checked this out and Spotify randomly threw one of their songs at me the other day. I ended up checking out the last album and really liked it a lot more than I expected I would.

Fallout Today is great. Easily the best of the "mellow" songs.

On my way is cool.

He basically just sings lyrics from across the album, with Eds father in the back repeating on my way.....

Pretty great

This seems about right.

For me better within the context of the record is The Haves, worse was Long way. Good and Evil is really good

I wasn't sure about Good and Evil until the chorus hit. Good banger.

Still not loving that really fuzzy, compressed guitar tone that's on a couple of the "heavy" songs.

Rose of Jericho is my favourite so far out of the "rock" songs.

Minimal production compared to the others, which I prefer.

Mrs. Mills might be the most off-brand thing I've ever heard from Eddie Vedder.
