Running

[oftheearth]

I feel like the interlude between Waiting for Stevie and Running really "belongs" to Running.

I heard a few laughs in the theater between the interlude into Running. It's pretty jarring but kind of in a good way.

In my mind NOTHING will ever be as jarring as Sometimes into Hail, Hail. Holy smokes!

[E.H. Ruddock]

This song has suffered for me due to how awesome the rest of the album is. I just don't care for this on at all.

I actually love it more so whatever ok

Please calm down

Running was already four stars, and it's better in context.

[McParadigm]

I will probably always hear “don’t blow my cover! you blew my cover!” At 2:06.

[Ms Harmless]

this song sounds suitably massive on a proper stream

[WaitingForBluey]

I will probably always hear “don’t blow my cover! you blew my cover!” At 2:06.

Haha yeah, I hear that

I actually like the seque song to Running

[greendisease]

I think this is definitely my favourite on the album. 3/5

[dad]

listening on apple music, and i gotta wonder if that's watt yelling YEAH a few times in the very beginning.

[stip]

it is

Haha i will never forget my first No Code listen on the boombox in my childhood bedroom. Sometimes was a shockingly gentle opener and i had it CRANKED...Hail Hail came on and it nearly blew me across the room.

Still feels like a song on the wrong album, but, at least it provides a little lift, in context, so it serves its purpose just fine.

Being the weakest song on a fantastic album is still respectable.

At least the cool kids let you sit at the table.

When this released as a single I listened to it once and was a hard nope.

But in the theatre experience I actually enjoyed it and over the days since I listened to it more and more. It's not one of the strongest tracks on this album but I think it's maybe my favorite of the punk numbers Pearl Jam has forced onto albums. I wouldn't roll my eyes if they played it live at a show I was at. Probably.

Works great as a palate cleanser; arrives at exactly the right moment.

Yup...it does its part if one views this album as a setlist.

Stevie is the Pre-Encore/Main Set closer, and Running is Encore one if they chose to keep energy levels high and not cool it down with two Ed acoustic songs.

for the first time ever (I think) the cooldown/reset song is actually necessary

[Ms Harmless]

ultimately I feel like what takes this song away from being Backspacer spritz is its overal thickness of sound, the walls of guitar, Jeff, Matt, when you get a proper mix of it
