Speaking of which, I just heard "Yellow Ledbetter" for the first time in ages, on the radio.

Am I the only one who thinks it's fucking awful, and gives haters all the ammo they need?

What is up with the obsession for this song?

It's not awful, but certainly nowhere near my Top 50 songs by the band.

the band does not write their songs anymore and they use Watt to give them already written material? like trap producers do? so actually that snippet is PJ ?

What if Beth Liebling actually wrote the lyrics to the classic PJ songs and that's why there is such a shift in quality after Binaural?

I believe their biggest hit is Just Breathe in terms of sales. Who knows what it is now when you account for streaming. Probably Even Flow or Black.

Just wait for a 30 second clip that still may not be Pearl Jam.
I'll bet it's not as good as the one that wasn't.

The clip had me psyched, but probably bc I was building out the rest of the song in my mind as this powerful, gut punching, hard driving track with Vs-like energy a la Go.

Of course, I was fooling myself all along on two fronts:

1. It wasn’t Pj
2. They’d never write the song I was envisioning


Hope we are all ready for lots of spritz.

like Go? the clip already failed hard on that front, unless the rest of the song had entirely different mixing and playing
