I concur.

This, and other Riot Act songs, are probably PJ's best songs to be labelled mediocre by some of the less enlightened RM members.

Pearl jam would be great again if we could just get a new singer and ditch all the guitars so we could get back to the sound that made them so compelling, right McP!

That's the formula. And it can work fine. But there should be a reason for the switch. What meaningful point is the singer making? And is it compelling enough in its execution to justify destroying the reflective space that Boom created?

He is almost exactly the Brendan O'Brien of the movie world, so I don't foresee a big change resulting.
