I'll listen for that on my next go-around. I'm finding the playability of this album insane. If it's crap, it's still addictive, like drugs.

During the verses of this song I want to run down a really steep hill almost out of control.

Not a fan of some of Ed's singing on the verses and it's not because of the enunciation. That never bothered me. That 'breathiness' which he displays in parts of the verses is something I'm not a huge fan of. However, his singing on the chorus is positively spine tingling.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

This song has grown on me more than any other. And I thought it was pretty OK to begin with. Enjoying it much.

It took a hit after hearing the whole album but it's climbing back up.

I don't mind this tune, but it and LTRP don't seem to fit with the album's tracklisting. I might have to check out some of the alternate track listings out there to see if it will improve.

This song is sinking fast for me. I fear it may be the only skipable song.

Swallowed Whole and LTRP suffer from "I know you too well already let me listen to SBM and Yellow Moon goddamnit"-syndrome for me right now.

Thanks to that post Mike, I just put "Yellow Moon" on by itself for the first time. God damn do I love it.

Yellow moon kind of makes me want to tear up a bit. Last song that did that was moth
