No, they're good. Get on board with this, Strat.
This pains me more than you, I promise.
That being said - Ed sounds amazing and I never tire of listening to him Sing so I will most likely be listening to this a bit...
I just hate that fucking solo.

Stylistically, it reminds me of that big Robbie Williams hit from 10 or 15 years ago. Angel was it?

I can't see this as a single, especially at 5:40, nor it blowing up, whatsoever...but I'm fine with all that. Just give me the weird ones, asap, Infallible, Pendulum, etc.

Agreed, but it's awfully close. I really can't say I like the production on this at all.
The people who hated Last Kiss being such a huge hit are going to want to hang themselves when this blows up.
This tune won't blow up. The chorus isn't catchy.
Disagree.
The song's not based on the chorus, it's based on the "hear the sirens" part in the intro verse, which acts as a pseudo-chorus. The whole song's based on that. After the first chorus, it comes back without the vocal and it initiates a listener response.
Song will be big (in relative terms - for Pearl Jam), but not as big as Last Kiss.

Yes, yes it does.

Dawson's Creek soundtrack material.

Which kind of sums up how dated this tune sounds.

Loving it after a few listens.
I find Ed's delivery enough to keep it real even if the over production tries to take it elsewhere. Another keeper for me.

They've done the same thing as they did with ATW, stuck a pointless solo in there. But it's fine.
I was expecting more Pink Floyd weirdness. This needs actual sirens over it, with some snippets of movie dialogue, and then we'd have Floyd. We mostly have Top 40 here. But I really like the pre-pre-chorus.
Overall, whether you like it or not, I feel as if they're making a bigger statement with this album than they did on Backspacer.

I'd really love to hear more than the 30-second sample Rdio seems to be providing for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Me too. Ed definitely keeps it downbeat and works against the overall wash of cheesiness.
Lines like "We live our lives with death over our shoulders" keep it Pearl Jam.

i could see this being a hit in, like, 2004 or something. around the time that hoobastank "reason" song was hanging around.
I said it about one of the other songs too, they sound vaguely mid-2000s. I don't know whats going on.
There would have been a good song in here, with some heavier guitars and a different vocal melody. It's not even a bad song per se, but it doesnt sound like pearl jam, and not it a wow they're experimenting kinda way.
What the fuck Eddie. C'mooonn, he kept his love for cheesy radio crap hidden for almost 20 years, why unveil it now?
GooGoo Doll's thats what it sounds like.
