Sleeping By Myself is one of my favourite PRAMG tracks, and they got it just right on the album, unlike Speed of Sound.

Amongst the Waves is my one the highlights of Backspacer for me.

Yeah, it's a real turd. It really sucked the life out of the room when they played it in Detroit last year.

Too bad my boy won't make it out of this round. Ah well, all men must die. Still AtW gets my super enthusiastic, two thumbs up vote. I LOVE Amongst the Waves.

Sleeping By Myself is no slouch, though. A worthy opponent. Just too bad AtW's won't get more love. This is gonna be a slaughter, unfortunately.

Same. I can't stand that song. Such great intentions, but came up short on execution

I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved


I just really dislike these lyrics, turns me off the song, which is a bit hypocritical of me seeing as I usually don't care so much about the words. But sometimes I just can't get past em'.

Both of these songs suck, so it doesn't really matter

Sleeping By Myself is great. You all should know that by now.

Me either. One of PJ's biggest swings and misses if you ask me.

ATW is Pearl Jam at its pandering worst. Its not their worst song, but I think I hate it more than any other because its so creatively and emotionally bankrupt. When I heard it I knew they were dead for good.
