I'd start with Who Ever Said in this run. I'm shocked. If the album version is any kind of improvement on this copy, it is going to be amazing.
Agreed. For me it's almost all fantastic. Take the Long Way and Buckle Up are the only ones I'm skipping right now.

BUCKLE UP
COMES THEN GOES
RIVER CROSS
These three are where I'm at, but River Cross is probably above Comes Then Goes if we're ranking. I really love what they did with River Cross.

Getting this album off the computer and into my car and my stereo was a godsend.

Would it be okay to have a separate thread for the lyrics? I’d love to listen and read along.

This record is fantastic. It sounds amazing. The band sounds great.
Eddies songs are pretty great, Comes Then Goes is soooo good.
I was high as shit, which song has the Tom Petty song in it?
Never Destination
Thank you. Lol. I knew I wasn’t too high.

Hey if they’re blowin your hair back, brilliant. I just always been allergic to Pearl Jam doing this kind of thing. And at this age. Just never lands for me.

Listening to Quick Escape in the car made the song even better - I hope I get to listen to that one in an atmos setup one day.

I actually think Never Destination sounds great coming out of Seven O'Clock and there's much more to it than a standard spritzy PJ by numbers track. It's gonna be criminally underappreciated but I feel the same way about Swallowed Whole so...

Swallowed Whole is probably the most underappreciated Pearl Jam song of all time.

While acknowledging the current honeymoon phase, i think its likely this record has produced at least two songs (Quick Escape/DOTC) that can safely stack up to some of their best work.

With several others that can find a place in our hearts (Comes Then Goes, Buckle Up, Seven O'Clock, River Cross, Alright, Take the Long Way).

Yeah, at 3:47 in ND it's like a Petty tribute! Almost takes me out of the song (I had earlier posted in error that it was in 7 O'C.
Assume the Petty tribute is just that, related to losing him recently.
