[bodysnatcher]

It's a bummer that one of the band's most creative endeavors isn't even considered an album track when it's listed as an album track!

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[stip]

back off stip I've already won

that was before my game changing analogy

[mikejasond]

Oh boy what have I started?

Anyways, stupidmop is disqualified from being the last song on account of not being music

[mikejasond]

I can't rank them but Release, Immortality, Indifference, and All or None are above the rest, and All Those Yesterdays is next.

It seems we can all agree Future Days is bottom 2, as literally everybody put it there unless stupidmop was taking up a space, and thats really all I was trying to say.

Wrong. It's organized sound, it has a beat, and it has a rhythm. It's not very good, but it's music.

[Norah]

Lightning Bolt hasn't aged well.

I still like most of the songs but the production on tracks such as Lightning Bolt and Infallible aren't getting any better. The more I listen the more I hear elements of Backspacers production style on songs that were from somewhere else.

And Matt Cameron just doesn't do it for me. Sorry guys. His metronome style is just kind of dull in comparison to his predecessors.

One positive it's made me appreciate Backspacer a lot more. That production on those songs works for the most part. Unthought Known compared To Lightning Bolt the most obvious comparison

I definitely like Future Days more than anybody here. Take out the horrid piano and I think it's a perfectly decent little ditty.

Stupid Mop is a Stupid Song.

Maybe you just hate Around the Bend, Parting Ways and All or None more?

[stip]

I conceive that some of those songs may be better songs in terms of craft, and I have a sentimental attachment to future days. I don't hate any of these songs, or anything. They're all mostly in the pretty good category. All or None and Inside Job are songs that are simply ok.

I been listening to a lot of PJ studio albums, maybe because this whole Hall of fame thing is really getting me.
Yesterday it was LB turn, and again, i think the first 4 tracks are amazing, specially My Fathers Son and Sirens...those two are as good as any song from their catalogue. Special kudos to Eddie, he sounds really good on the whole album, but he kills it in this two...his delivery in Sirens is su fucking good, so passionate, fierce and at the same time its full of fear and a little bit of sadness...Its mind blowing.
