Around the Bend is a seriously underrated song.

Re: Match DW: Around the Bend vs. Just Breathe
I thought this one would be closer. Too much Backspacer hate out there, I guess.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

What great way to close No Code. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of things, there's not really too much to Around The Bend. Why does it work so well? Mcdig, explain why I like this song as much as I do. Please.

It looks like this is one song where I've been rendered speechless, because I just repeat the same incomplete thoughts over and over again.Self wrote:What great way to close No Code.

I don't know that any other Pearl Jam track captures a timeless, postureless gentleness the way Bend does. The most remarkable playing I can think of on any PJ album, and in some ways the most Exile on Mainstreet they ever were.
In some ways, I forget that Pearl Jam was ever capable of a studio performance that gently crafted and engaging.
Around the Bend is top tier Pearl Jam, just for the goddamn performance. So nice to have that too-rare exemplar of subtle, nuanced musicianship.
The way No Code combined live-mic hiss, "session bootleg" mess and murk, and gloriously pure high frequency shimmer is so impossibly fantastic, I have no words. And I'm still not sure I've ever liked ANY recording of ANY song....in terms of what the song inherently is vs what it became in the studio....more than Around the Bend.

Re: Match DW: Around the Bend vs. Just Breathe
Without listening, I think I remember snare drum rattle here. Like you recalled in Present Tense, but couldn't find. It's fucking somewhere on No Code. Which is a testament to the intimacy provided by the production. Sometimes, I feel like I'm sitting indian style on that smelly rug. I mean, the songs stand on their own, but the presentation certainly doesn't hurt. I'd like to know how they got the in-room feel, but also managed to throw a wet blanket on it. It's damp where it needs to be, even if the bottom end sticks out from time to time.McParadigm wrote:It looks like this is one song where I've been rendered speechless, because I just repeat the same incomplete thoughts over and over again.
