I often forget how great this song is. The composition is brilliant.
I might not always be crazy about Matt's druming in Pearl Jam (he's fucking awesome in soundgarden), but he's easily the best songwriter of the band.
Has this guy ever done a solo album?

Wellwater Conspiracy doesn't count?

(He also wrote my favorite Soundgarden tune, Room A Thousand Years Wide). Great songwriter.

Not sure Wellwater counts as a solo project, but it features some great Matt Cameron stuff.

Did he not write all the tunes for WW? I honestly have no idea?

A lot of them but not all. McBain and Shepherd wrote a lot for all the albums as well.

Shepherd was only on the first album and barely wrote anything.

The songwriting for WW is equally shared between Cameron & McBain.

Shepherd is in the writing credits for 9 of the songs on that album though.

I think my favorite part of Evacuation has changed from the obvious verses and bridges to the underappreciated chorus and outro.

One of their worst songs by far. I honestly think the first 3 songs on Binaural are 3 of the worst uptempo tracks they’ve ever done.
