Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
it's a particularly broken performance in a style where the power in the vocal performance stands in opposition to the hurt in the lyrics.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I've always been a fan of the song and performance too. I get why people don't like it either though. Like Strat said, Ed's performance works here for me. But I can see it being interpreted as either sad, brittle and vulnerable .... or, it was recorded at the end of the day after 100 takes of Comatose and 2 packs of cigs.durdencommatyler wrote:chewm wrote:Yeah, thisStrat wrote:Comeback is a beautiful song and sentiment and great vocal performance by ed. Fits the song perfectly. I fucking love it.

I enjoy the laser in Speed of Sound, reminds me of the who's Song is Over.

I don't mind the studio "Speed of Sound," but the demo version is definitely superior.

How do you feel about the demo version of "Gone?"

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I still love "The End" and think it's one of the best things Ed's ever written.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I love the demo version of Gone. Of course, I love the album version of Gone, too. My only issue with Gone is that I liked the preciousness of it being a Christmas Single Demo only. Putting it on the album took away some part of what made it special. I liked the idea of having another original song on an xmas single.Kevin Davis wrote:How do you feel about the demo version of "Gone?"
But that's just dumb sentimentality.

The music of Ole is great. But the lyrics are typical PRAMG clunky and awful.durdencommatyler wrote:I'm not sure where all these folks are coming from all of a sudden, but I'm fucking DIGGING the recent love for Amongst the Waves and Ole.
