A step in the right direction. Now just keep listening until your ears evolve a little more. :lol:

Listened to all 3. Forgot how much I like Falling Down - wonderful little ditty.

Amongst the Waves is OK enough, nothing too terrible here.

Get it Back is OK too, but nothing that amazing to these ears.

Falling Down it is, pretty easily in the end.

Come at me trag!
I'm with Strat here.

Get It Back is easily one of the band's best songs in years.

I'm pretty much with Trag re: Get it Back. This music is interesting in the verse, but the loud chorus feels generic, and the vocal on this is a bit of a snooze. The whole thing ends up feeling a bit forgettable.



Interesting to match this up with Amongst the Waves - the music actually feels pretty similar to me. But I like the wet, watching the rain through the window feel of the verse of Amongst the Waves. I've always loved those verses - the lyrics, the vocal melody, Eddie's performance. My Amongst the Waves issues are with the been there/done that chorus.


fallng down is pretty but it never ended up resonating with me, even during the era where I'd pay 50 bucks for a bootleg for the chance to hear something new.

Get it back is awesome, Amongst the waves sounds like Pearl jam consciously trying to write a Pearl Jam song and Falling Down is a mediocre improv with a cool outro.

This is an easy vote, guys.

Falling Down is just so not better than Amongst the Waves. Vote for Get it Back, fine, sure, I get it. But not Falling Down.
