The sloppy relentlessness of Brain of J still sounds pretty fresh. I personally prefer the extra water weight that Eddie would add to his voice in these kinds of songs around the S/T period (see Comatose), but Brain of J is still excellent.

No Way has excellent music, but I've always found the lyrical content too annoying to get past. Another song that's too pleased with itself by half, and pearl jam doesn't do smug well.

I agree, the lyrics of No Way leave something to desired and as much as I love it when Pearl Jam gets funky, I love it more when they get the rock songs right. Brain of J is just that much better.

I was going to go Brain of J because it's more memorable, but then I had a listen to No Way. I'll stand by you, No Way!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

BoJ is a great song, but not on the same level as No Way. I just meant that this is the part of the tourney where the majority is usually wrong and IMT will win it all because you know, Pearl Jam.

IMT is their best song. But it won't win. Not by a long shot. I'll be surprised if it makes it out of the next match. Which is a travesty. A travesty even bigger than No Way losing to BoJ.

Seriously, two Yield songs against one another??

Love the lyrics to No Way a bit more than Brain of J.

So I will have to go with No Way.

It really has. Kind of the surprise of the whole thing, I think.
