"You Are" and "Cropduster" both alternate as my favorite Riot Act song. I've always loved the stuttering guitar through a drum machine pattern in the main riff.

given they use a drum machine in DotC is all the more reason for them to bring You Are back.

Did Matt write the lyrics to this one? Sounds like WWC lyrics to me, so I'm willing to bet. Bless his heart.

Ah but they didn't. DotC is live drumming disguised as electronic.

This one hasn't aged great for me. It's fine, but it's almost too robotic.

Has there ever been any explanation why there is that measure of dead space at 20 seconds?

it is, but it’s always left me a little emotionally cold for some reason. its a song i get more than I feel and cereberal pearl jam is not my sweet spot. i get why others might love it, though

Probably my least favourite 'Matt Cameron writes for Pearl Jam' tune.

I still like it but it doesn't quite hang together for me in a satisfying way.
