Blood took me a long time to come around on. I like it okay now. But I used to really hate it.

Blood is fantastic guys. Not essential, sure. But what a shot in the arm. After the warmer, lusher tones of Ten, the exposed bone and sinew on Vs was brutal.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I'm kind of meh on Blood in general, but some of those live versions from the mid 90s are fucking fantastic.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
It ramps up the anticipation beautifully. There are other possibly better openers but there are a lot worse. When I've had Release it's been a really strong opening sequence of songs.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
In fairness to the song, I did think it kicked ass the first night of PJ20. Why they played Arms Aloft after it we'll never know. Easily the strangest setlist decision I've ever seen.

Not a huge fan of this one either.Leatherhead wrote:Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town kinda sucks.
Don't get me wrong, it's OK and I'd rather hear Small Town than anything on the last couple of records.
But for the time, it's near the bottom of the pack for me.

Geezes the place went fucking dead after that. I couldnt believe they chose to play that song. I cant believe nobody on the grounds was like "uh, are you fucking serious about that next song?"
Unbelievable. The place was electric and then......pew pew pew......

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
Go is just an ok song. One of the weakers in vs, and arguably the most overrated pearl jam song.
