The 2017 mix really brings this to life. You cannot unhear the Porch similarities but outro is lovely and raucous.

I've always loved it, and it really hit hard during Night Two in Saint Paul earlier this month.

the staccato bit stone (maybe) plays going into verse two is my favorite part.

it’s great. But Severed Hand has always felt slightly neutered to me, especially given how loud the record is. This is near the top of my ‘Pearl jam songs I should like more than I do’ list.

I love this one, since it came out really. Watching the band playing it on SNL was a highlight for sure. I do hate Brendan´s mix because he puts the guitars in a third place in the mix...wtf dude. Stone and Mike´s at its finest.
BONE FUCKIN´ TOMAHAWK.

I initially wrote this one off as a Porch knockoff (that intro verse riff is super similar) but less aggressive ("neutered" is a good word, Stip) but now I see the vibe as different; it's a good showcase for a slightly psychedelic, surf funk rock vibe that sells the Avocado album and its themes very well, and makes the album's zombie-Jam artwork (that I always liked) make sense

one of S/T's best songs

Probably my favorite song from self titled behind World Wide Suicide. The chorus is ok but I love the verses and especially that guitar solo at the end. I love when they end their songs with solos (Alive, Leash, Quick Escape, etc…)

The similarities to Porch are blown way outta proportion.
