Loving this song, Lightning Bolt, Self Titled, Yield and Binaural are incredible!

Pearl Jam is the sound I crave, out of all the thousands of things I have listened to they really make things work for my ears, and this song is totally unique and awesome!!

I downvoted this song because it's such a mood killer after the brilliant run up to Infallible. It's a good song, and sounds great from the live recordings, but I think it's in a bad spot on the album.

I think It's proper placement is: SBM > Pendulum > Yellow Moon

I never really believed Pj write to intentionally have a song for a certain place in a set but this one. They knew they were writing a set opener. Deffo

before the tour for the album, i had this one pegged as being an early encore song, like where yellow moon has been played. it works great as an opener though. they could open every single pj show w this one and i wouldnt complain

For me, I'd say it's their best song since Riot Act. I haven't listened to this song in weeks, but my first few spins of LB, I deemed Pendulum the best PJ song since Can't Keep.

Still love this song after many listens. Best PJ song of past 10 years. Love the bass line in the second verse, and some of the other subtleties. A very well crafted song all the way through that maintains the dark tone through different parts. 5 stars.

I love the music but I really wish Eddie's voice wasn't as loud on it.
