I love how much you love that song, even if I'll never understand it or agree. It makes me happy to see you fully fan out about it.stip wrote:I am exempting Stevie from a ratings system that cannot contain it

Stevie is a great great song. We may not see eye to eye on No Code, but I’m with you on that.epilogue wrote:I love how much you love that song, even if I'll never understand it or agree with it.

It brings me no joy at all that you bozos like Waiting for Stevie.
I'm particularly disappointed in you, wease.

Re: Dark Matter: Official Album Thread
For me, WfS brought a listening experience that hadn’t been there since I fell in love with the first album. My enjoyment of Stevie may fade in time like some of the Ten songs have but my initial love for them probably won’t ever be matched.
Every sentence in my head, someone else has said.

Re: Dark Matter: Official Album Thread
I get why people like the song (I like it well enough, too) and I can even hold space for thinking it's the best song on Dark Matter (I disagree but not enough to fight about it). It's the Career Top 5 take that blows my mind.
But I don't need to understand it. I'm glad Stip feels that way. I'm truly happy for him. But it will always be a wild take to me.
Sort of like how he'll never understand how much I love In The Moonlight.

I had that last week, which is odd since it's not a favourite and also not one I listen to all that oftenepilogue wrote:Nice! I've had it stick in my head for days now.Ms Harmless wrote:Won't Tell is still my favourite song on this thing

I am genuinely surprised they haven't played Waiting for Stevie on this leg of the tour yet. Unless I missed it?

Re: Dark Matter: Official Album Thread
Is there any information out there about how and why Pearl Jam chose this album title?
edit: I ask because Dark Energy comprises a larger percentage of mass-energy in the universe than Dark Matter. So if they wanted to “go big,” they should have gone with the former. I’m sure somebody here knows.
