pearl jam sucks now

[Jaeti]

the weird timing is cool and I like the lyrics

You're most of the way there already! Now maybe focus on the outro.

You quoted wrong. I love everything about Cropduster.

Yeah, fail.

The first Pearl Jam album I downloaded off the net before release.


Good times

Been really liking Love Boat Captain lately.

'i am mine' is just a better song than 'cropduster'. songs with unusual time signatures aren't always cool, this is a great example. i like the chorus more than the rest of the song, but 'i am mine' is way better.

I am Mine is bottom 3 on Riot Act.

it's probably in my top 5, but i don't think this is a great album. it's probably just above LB/Backspacer

"Cropduster" is several notches above "I Am Mine" for me, and it's not just because it's in 7, but because it's a thoughtfully composed song with a lot of cool touches and a compelling hook while "I Am Mine" is some corny bullshit

[epilogue]

Look, I don't actually understand time signatures at all and Cropduster is better. But both are great!

And there's nothing about I Am Mine that I find corny.

i guess if you think the anthemic nature of the music is overdone or the lyrics are too cheesy you could find it corny, but i absolutely love the song, from the opening riff to the soaring outro. it's exactly what it's trying to be, a self-affirming yell, even if you are just yelling at yourself to convince yourself to overcome something. maybe people find overcoming self-doubt corny?

[VinylGuy]

I am mine is not corny at all

Jorge is just having a jaded and gritty phase guys

[Jorge]

I don't hate "I Am Mine". In fact I like it better than pretty much every lead single that followed. But yeah I think it's pretty corny

[VinylGuy]

nobody said you hated it, but again, its not corny

future days is corny

[Jorge]

"Future Days" is more cheesy than corny

[VinylGuy]

its shitty

[Jorge]

"Mind Your Manners," meanwhile, is hammy
