You either like a song (or album) or you don't. Sure, this can change "a bit". Certain songs may grow more favorable. But, trying to say that your opinion completely changed is a fanboi cop out.

For all those who say this about any thing PJ,.... grow a set...


....of opinion balls.

You must either be really young or completely joking here.

You're saying you've never initially disliked or were indifferent towards an album but later grew to enjoy it, or it hit you at a different point in your life/maturity? Never?

I never liked more than a couple of songs on Binaural for YEARS. I thought it was boring, muddy and just lacking. Just recently, after giving it a few more good listens with a good pair of headphones and FLAC files, it just hit me. I think it's amazing now on so many levels that would take a few paragraphs to explain. You can't tell me for a second that this has anything to do with other people's opinions influencing me or me wanting to be cool or a 'fanboy'. That's utter bullshit.

Don't worry. It's just his schtick. Logic and reasoning are cop outs.

In the grand scheme, better. In boarding experience? Prolly worse.

Thanks yet again Boom.

Mike wrote:Oh, and a little anecdote. Me and my best friend are long time Pearl Jam fans and we both were equally confused about the song (He still is I think.) and we celebrated the birthday of another friend two days ago. We were sitting around drinking beer when the video was uploaded and decided to watch it. One of our non-fan friends couldn't understand why we thought the song was so irritating. He really liked it and thought it was a welcome change for the band. The girlfriend of my friend thinks it's one of Pearl Jams best songs and really likes it even though she normally dislikes most of their output.

That'd be BOB. They keep Boom in his cage until they tour.

Boom plays in the video, though, not BOB.

How does anyone hate Boom? That's like hating Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Totally agree. It makes zero sense to me. I thought people were making it up for the longest time.

I guess, to be fair, he was doing it before Boom anyway. He just didn't used to do it badly feature himself so prominently in the mix.
