Wouldn't it be cool of the next record opened with a slow number and gradually built up to a rockin centrepiece or main act?

I'd like that

I guess if you like no passion in your music.
breakerfall is fucking awesome, what are you talking about? also, evacuation is not given enough credit - it's a good song. and while I'm not a huge fan of god's dice, it's still good.
Guys, these are all great, passionate songs. But GD, Breakerfall and Evacuation are not better than SOLAT.
It's fairly obvious.
but your comment implied they had no passion
I'll clear it up.

True, honest passion - State of Love and Trust
you're nuts
I know what it is. We have different tastes in Pearl Jam music.

So, since I'm going to the show tomorrow, I was trying to decide which of the new songs I'd like most to hear live. I'm torn between Infallible and Yellow Moon but if I could only choose 1 I'd take Infallible. Just think the increased live intensity will add to the song. Of course, I doubt they'll play either.

Let The Records Play is starting to resonate with me. I'm scared...I kinda like it.
SMB is such a great followup too.

I think it's more like No code than any record to date. It's such a hodge podge of different things. They're almost like twins.

I'm going on Tuesday and hope for the punk, rockers vs. the slower tunes, which bring a show down.

I'd like to hear MYM, My Father's Son, and Getaway live. I hope they open with Getaway.

It'll be a while before I attempt that. I barely know the song titles at this point.

Great version. Although in parts of that song he kind of looks like Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore. Seriously.
