I feel as if this is the song which will help you decide whether PJ was Ed for you, primarily, or not.

An Emphatic 'Fuck No' seems to be my answer. Who knew?

I think my view is fairly well-known that for me, PJ has been just Ed (and Jeff, I guess) since Dave A. left. That doesn't mean I don't think the others have contributed crucial stuff, but I don't think they've done that more or less than any other musicians could have.

I'm curious why do you think Jeff has done more then the other musicians?? I'm asking this because I also think that besides Ed, Jeff has been the key for me...

Because I play the drums, so for me the rhythm section has always been the key into any song, or any band, for me. That doesn't mean that a song *has* to have either, many of my favourite songs don't have a strong rhythm and aren't meant to, but the rhythm section definitely hooked me onto this band during the Dave A. days. The way the bass and drums were always mixed very high up in the mix. When Jack joined, he had a looser groove and wasn't so metallic and that wasn't really my thing, but I grew to love it and other 'looser' bands as well. Matt isn't my favourite drummer by any stretch but he's good enough. So anyway, yeah, I get hooked on songs from the bottom up.

its not pearl jam but much like Attack o the clones is not star wars.

Yeah but that's at least derivative of Star Wars. This is not derivative of Pearl Jam if my ears are hearing correctly.

Burden in My Hand and Wishlist followed for me.

Is that good or bad?

There is a lyric in LTRP that stood out to me


i’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace


Boy, is that spot on

I think PJ world jammed up Rdio. Can't get a confirmation email to sign up... Probably gone now anyway, I'm PJ legal team has swopped in by now.

Help? Anyone? Bueller?

Yes it's not what they normally would have done, but hell, the fact that they did this, and did it well.....it's great. I'd take a flaming from this entire board, and still be very comfortable with this song.

I feel better hearing opinions like this on it.

I'm not afraid to love what goes against the grain for others.......life is WAY too short.

It's the equivalent of Nirvana surviving and Kurt Cobain writing Slide instead of the Goo Goo Dolls.

I suddenly just got a really strong modern Take That vibe.

Don't worry. Soon it will make you feel loved.

Ok after my second listen this is the best song ive heard off of LB so far (ive heard getaway, sw, ltrp,mym,lb)...Very melodic...

I. don't. understaaaaaaannnddddddddd.

This is the one Pearl Jam song that I have heard that will take me a bit to get used to. Its growing on me, though.

I would actually love to hear that.

It's like a parody of a rom com song.

I am speechless right now. This is not the Pearl Jam I know and love.

Right now it's pretty bad. When I made my first "Its cheesy but I like it post" I only heard the first verse and then that chorus came. I need to listen to it more but right now I don't really want to.

Anyone got an mp3? I can't play wav on my phone:(

About to have a 320kbps rip.

I hope eddie gave mark arm a copy of this to listen to and in turn mark arm gave him a kick to the crotch.
