Is it a bridge if it's used twice? Im thinking it's a second chorus type of thing.

I think that's a good thing.



FFS MY NIPPLES!

Comatose, Spin the Black Circle, Habit, Gods' Dice, Blood... even Brain of J (to a different degree) are not usually songs that pull me in and lock me down. Hearing STBC for the first time really turned me off. I was not looking forward to Vitalogy at all after that guy. But I really can't get enough of MYM.

I've been listening to it on repeat for just under an hour now and I'm enamored. It seems to early to start garlanding the thing with crowns and jewels, but based on first impressions, this is the best Pearl Jam song of it's kind since Brain of J. And I like my initial, first impression even more.

And I'm just about ready to go ahead and say that I like this song more than at least 8 songs on Backspacer. Maybe all of Backspacer.

Too fucking creative? Come on. Out of all the good things you could say about this song, this is the silliest. It sounds like a hundred punk songs from the 1980s. And I like the thing.

I don't think "Brain of J" belongs in the same pile as the other songs you named. Not at all.

Nice work. I'm hearing some of it a bit differently. But, really good hustle, buddy.

That means lightning and thunder and fire, bitches. Given that, I don't hate 'Lightning Bolt' and if it sounds slightly silly and fun, it was probably meant to.
