Eddie Vedder - Earthling

[Ms Harmless]

The Dark makes me think of Jane Fonda doing aerobics BUT IN THE BEST WAY

this is the 90s sitcom theme that The Fixer was trying to be!

[Ms Harmless]

The Haves

it's winning me over because I've unlocked its meaning to me, but there are several "oh Ed, ffs" moments

[psychobain]

ALL the Young dudes ..

hey WAIT

OK so I'm not a huge audiophile but,

do you think this kind of "flat" production that lacks depth and dynamics is meant to (whether or not it actually does) sound good for The Kids on their phones? I just wonder because I'm listening to it now that way and I feel like I can hear much of the sonic range, even without headphones

I feel absolutely certain of this.

I am obsessed with Invincible

This is the song from this album that will go down as the "classic."

[Ms Harmless]

The Haves would come off so much better if it was 3 minutes instead of a 5 minute epic

[Ms Harmless]

when Good and Evil starts I always sing "I'm gonna save you fucker"

RoJ is not my favourite rocker but it still slaps

I can't believe how many spritzy punkers are successful on this thing

[Ms Harmless]

"like this... 1,2,3,4!"

Gosh, watching this zane lowe interview and i almost want to credit stuff like this...all of it.....to having a guy like watt and klinghoffer in the room. Just hearing them talk about the process and what they got out of ed. im into it.

[Ms Harmless]

the best part of "Picture" is the "yeah" pause

but it's fun and Elton can do what he wants

actually the best part is the boogie-woogie "Alive" jam, what a great callback

I've had this thought, too, particularly when I'm listening to Good & Evil through headphones but feel like it might as well be playing on my phone.

Yeah, I think the production/mixing/mastering is certainly geared in the direction of modern rock (it's not too drastic a progression from how S/T was mastered). I just think it neuters the heavy songs.

[Ms Harmless]

nothing to say for Mrs. Mills except what a joy!

I love Ed's pause and spoken word "....Mills" at the end lol

[Ms Harmless]

oh no I think I might be getting to like this whole thing

[Birds in Hell]

actually the best part is the boogie-woogie "Alive" jam, what a great callback

I don't believe for a moment there's any intentional callback to Alive in that piano outro.

It's just Elton mashing some bluesy noodles.
