Right after the one me and Jaeti talking about? I like the sound of it, again very Earthling. It feels to me like it could live next to "Fallout Today," which is one of my favorite Eddie-written tracks in a while so I wouldn't be upset about that.

Can we talk about how "in fine voice" Ed sounds on this thing? I don't know what dials Wotman is turning, or how much of this is repeatable live (let's be honest), but he's hitting some nice highs and sounding clear as crystal (all caveats of muffled door leak etc).
yes and yes and yes :) the one you pointed out does sound like vintage PJ, with the break, riff without drums, then the crescendo and doubling up on the snare? hope it's as ridiculous as it sounds

I think that starting with Gigaton, someone finally talked Ed into going back to a dynamic mic, which is much more forgiving if there are some warts on your aging voice

I can just imagine a snippet of Supersonic around the bridge for example Then getting something totally different.

True- a snippet of that bridge on its own would sound like crazy epic Pearl Jam lol

I assume 1:50 - 2:20 on the clip is “waiting for Stevie”.


Sounds like classical PJ and “waiting” in the chorus lyrics

Where is the cleaned up version of the door demo? I'm breaking down and want to listen.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

How are you all discerning this much from that snippet? I'm as excited about this album as anybody, but I can't hear any of the detail you're all talking about from that clip.
