Song of the Moment: Mind Your Manners

[epilogue]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

[McParadigm]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

[epilogue]

It's a reference to minding ones manners.

[sward]

My nipples hurt.

Strange. Mine too. But probably for different reasons. A fish attacked my nipple about 3 years ago. It hasn't been the same since.

Nice to know i'm not alone though!

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

I don't like Comatose.

[HardTI]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

Same here!
Hate it. I was so super excited when it was Comatose Rapture and sounded 2x faster and way more ballsy. They ruined it in the studio.

[digster]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

I felt like there were maybe five people on this board at most who did.

[Thejambi]

Did they just f-ck up? It's really bugging me.

You need to calibrate your monitor thats' all.

[Jaeti]

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.

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.

The quick and terrifying decent of the harmless psyche begins!

I'm pretty sure of two things:

1) I'll dig it. Or at least, tonight I'm going to have fun trying to figure out whether I dig it enough.

2) It will be neither the best song on the album, nor the worst. I think we all know what kind of space it will occupy on the record.

True indeed.

[harmless]

I think it's a real possibility that the actual recording of this song will sound much less kickass. Be on your guard gentlemen, keep your wits about you.

[Chris_H_2]

Comatose isn't the best PJ song by any means, but it's among the better ones on that album (then again, that's like being the tallest midget).

[HardTI]

lol I can't get enough of this "reaalllll possibillllity" stuff. Nice work, gang.

[sward]

I think it's a real possibility that the actual recording of this song will sound much less kickass. Be on your guard gentlemen, keep your wits about you.

I'm in agreement here. I'll probably dig this more live. But who knows til it happens.

[tommymtcom]

I appreciate the aggressiveness of Comatose, but I really don't care for Eddie's delivery. He sounds very old on that track.

[digster]

PJ's new mastering technique is to run every mix through youtube.

They do seem to have mastered the art of neutering awesomeness in the studio.

[Hatfield]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

Did you see it live? Like God's Dice and Save You, after I saw it live my entire feeling on the song changed.

[Walker Bait]

I'm probably the only person on this board that really doesn't care for Comatose.

Actually...I hate Comatose/crapshoot rapture/crapshoot/crap. lol I've just never gotten a feel for it sadly...

it kinda blows live. for some reason they've been saving it for encores when ed's voice is gone. it should be like the 2nd song played.
