The 15 second teases they gave us for DOTC and SBWM were the parts that were very different from the rest of the songs so it would follow what they’ve been doing.

Two such songs, back-to-back, at the start of the album does not bode well, especially when I already disliked SBWM.
I'm confident the album will at least sound much better than the last few, and I still have hope for a handful of songs, but I'll admit my expectations of having an enjoyable front-to-back album have completely flatlined since finding out Ed wrote so much of it.

There's always hope Spenno!
His rockers seem cut from the same cloth these days.
I think you could make a kind of horrifying megamix out of Undone, WWS, Green Disease, GSMF, Getaway, Lightning Bolt, SBWM. It's all that same pounding 4/4 rhythm with Ed grunting and bellowing over a bunch of chords banged out on every beat, he's drawing from a very limited sonic palette.
Even when Jeff or Stone or Matt's songs aren't great, they're never that unimaginative.

Even the negative review praises this song as one of the bests, no way it will be a bad song.

I do like this teaser. It is slightly similar to SBWM in the chord rhythm style. But it's more satisfying than SBWM I can tell already. And there's another tasty guitar coming in at the end of the teaser. This song is gonna be better than SBWM

I'm in your camp. I'm too fucking tired to be cynical right now.
I'll take a heaping dose of hope from Pearl Jam right now. If it's actually good, this could get a lot of listens from everybody over the next couple of months. Maybe it'll actually be the "statement" they've been trying for years to make and kind of missing the mark...

Hard disagree. Both SBWM and Dance are better than anything since RA, and there’s not much that is even close.Vindicator wrote:no its a super low tier song for Pearl Jam. It's OK.PHATJ wrote:SBWM is fantastic

I'm feeling the new tunes like I felt pre-PRAMG Pearl Jam.
SBWM is great.

I'm not going to defend the lyrics but I think the song is very good, certainly preferable to a bunch of songs on the last two records.Strat wrote:man alive inside job sucks

Cool clip. Not much really to go on one way or another but I like the looseness to it.
P.S. I wouldn’t consider Superblood Wolfmoon a top 10 post RA song, let alone a top 2.
