Yeah, it's like almost every song got left off of other albums because they were obviously not very good and then PJ just put all that filler garbage on to this album. I like some of these filler songs but they just don't seem finished. I mean, can anyone even understand the lyrics to Yellow Ledbetter? And none of these songs really grow or take you on a journey. <_< Seriously, I just wish they all started off slow and quiet and then built to a cock popping crescendo. I fucking love when songs do that. I FUCKING LOVE IT!! Guys, why doesn't Pearl Jam write all of their songs to sound exactly like Even Flow?

Nah there's some good ones on here. Sad, In The Moonlight, Fatal, Hard To Imagine, Footsteps, Wash, Dead Man, Strangest Tribe, Last Kiss, even Drifting.

Eddie's aged, somber vocals give the song a different dimension and meaning. It makes going back to the hyper-earnest-angry-young-man original kind of embarrassing by comparison.

Except for the "snakes in a panic line..."

There's actually three finished studio versions of Alone and the unreleased one is my favourite.

v1: 1991 studio version with Dave Krusen, recorded during the Ten sessions (unreleased)
v2: 1992 studio version with Dave Abbruzzese, recorded during the same sessions as State of Love and Trust, new Even Flow, etc. (released on the Go single)
v3: 1991/2003 hybrid version, the 1991 track with 2003 vocals by Ed (released on Lost Dogs)

That first version surfaced on the "Rarities and Unreleased Cuts" internal Sony disc and is dead-on perfect to me.

Wasn't there a version of it on the First Week Rehearsal set?

Yes but I didn't count that as a finished studio version.

Wrong. Band is playing out of their minds on this shit.

Their playing is canned and neutered. The lyrics are horseshit. The production is flat and horrendous. It sounds like garbage. It is garbage. I hate it.

Originally written by Motown dudes and covered a million times.

Edit: Nvm, Evenslow beat me to it.

I think the studio cut of leaving here is PJ at their fucking prime. Especially ed ved. Snarky, sexy and sassy.

It might be their worst pre-PRAMG song, really

You are depressed, you dont mean or actually know what you are saying, so i forgive you.

It's got that LTRP-esque dad rock cringe

You have never been more wrong about anything in your life. Wow. I can't believe you would mention those 2 in the same fucking fuck

wait is verb to trust loathedvermin now?
