I've only listened to it three times, figuring that's enough to get me through the next four hours.
Granting that some of us are trying to form opinions based on a horrible recording, my basic feeling is this: it's very aggressive, which could be a good thing, but it lacks a kind of moodiness that I sense in really good Pearl Jam songs. For example, an immediate aggressive/aggressive and moody comparison that springs to mind is "Whipping" vs. "Last Exit."
My fear is that the missing je ne sais quoi coupled with some subpar, unsubtle lyrics will ultimately make this a letdown for me.

Is it just me, or does that chorus melody sound a bit like 'No Rain' by Blind Melon?

Some things demand a response.
Good Morning, McP.
It's a beautiful day.
Sure is. And I hope that trend continues. My best to you and yours.

I don't think I'll be 'let down', because I wasn't expecting more. But I hear you and agree. The more you listen the more generic it gets.

Not a bad point at all. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping a better recording provides more insight and reveal some of that moodiness. Well put.
