Dance is still my favorite track and Never Destination is my least. Buckle Up is second to last. I really don't like it. I worry that the former will age better than the latter, too.

But we'll see/hear what we see/hear in a week!

Happy listening to y'all. Welcome the fuck back Pearl Jam!

It's either Quick Escape or Comes Then Goes.

Gun to head, I'd say Quick Escape. But Comes Then Goes is so fucking great. I feel like it has the potential to end up my favorite track on the album eventually.

1. Who Ever Said - Good enough opener. 2.89.
2. Quick Escape - Great rock song. Highlight. Should have been THE single. 4.
3. Seven O'Clock - Good change of pace album track, highlight. The outro could use improvement. 3.2.
4. Alright - Good transition, album track. 2.95.
5. Buckle Up - Second best song on the album. Would love it if not for Matt's inappropriate Speed of Sound busy drumming. 3.5.
6. Take the Long Way - I don't like hearing Ed sing like this, but it's good enough I guess. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be in the beginning. This is a better version of this song they've done many times. 2.8.
7. Comes Then Goes - I agree with Strat. Could use a slide guitar or something. Decent enough end of album/wind down track. 3.2.
8. River Cross - Good enough closer. 3.


2. Superblood Wolfmoon - PRETEND NEVER EXISTED. 1.4.
3. Dance of the Clairvoyants - DELETE. 2.3 until the end, which is cool. Doesn't save the song though.
11. Retrograde - DELETE. Don't want to listen again to rate.
7. Never Destination - Mostly irritating. Could like this with a different singer. Delete. 1.8.

2.686666666666667 whole album as is
3.1925 after deletes

Im listening to it on my home stereo system and its obvious the sound isn't as dynamic. It tops out. It seems somewhat distorted. Ever so slightly.

you know what, I'm no audiophile but I could have sworn there was a distortion on everything... it's sooo slight
