Has anyone from the listening party described this song as one of the best tunes on the album?

He's not the a big fan, even of the earlier albums and dislikes Eddies vocal style quite a bit. I don't think he talked about them a lot. He disliked DOTC quite a bit as well.

He’s like the epitome of hipster, of course he’s not going to like Pearl Jam.

Not to be the defender of Anthony Fantano, I'm neither a big fan nor do I dislike him, but he likes quite a lot of mainstream rock music. He thinks Nevermind is one of the best records of all time. Not sure his dislike of Pearl Jam is due to him being a hipster.

yeah he doesn't Dark Matter at all, he's a bit of a pillock; he's introduced me to some things I liked, but also trashed stuff that I'm into as well

True. It's all a bit of cliche dismissal due to Ed's singing on Ten as if no other album exists and he never changed vocal styles.

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

yup, I very much doubt he's even listened to most of the albums; most people are listening to DM thinking "is it like Ten?"
