Red Mosquito

What if I really like this, have more than one pair of cargo shorts, and still wear Dr. Martens? All to my offspring's dismay?

OK let's try this - I like every one of these songs:

1. Alright (favourite song on first listen, made me cry)
2. Buckle Up
3. River Cross
4. DOTC
5. 7 O'Clock
6. Take the Long Way
7. Comes Then Goes
8. Never Destination
9. Quick Escape
10. Who Ever Said
11. Superblood Wolfmoon
12. Retrograde

Not to Labour the point but this is a fuckin shambles from never destination onwards.

Why the fuck did they put that and take the long way on this ?

Piss poor. So bad

They’re almost Grandads. Those two songs are embarrassing.

Act your fuckin age Pearl Jam. And you know it’s probably Jeff’s fault

I realise this is an evergreen post, but you're incoherent, dime.

Ed wrote Never Destination, Matt wrote Take the Long Way.

They're both highlights of the album for me, especially the latter.

"Take the Long Way" is one of the best things they've written in a long time. It's a good example of the kind of fast rock song they should be writing. It actually plays to their strengths.

My fuckin dead granny could have written them.

It won’t change the fact that they’re both fucking awful. Every note


Ps you responded to the post. So there’s no incoherence. You just didn’t fucking agree leave it at that.

You blamed Jeff for both songs when he had no hand in writing either.

I also didn't get the "act your age" dig. Take the Long Way is a very nuanced, thoughtfully-written song.

Over the last 15 years, the answer has been an emphatic "lol fuck no", but I think this one mostly passes the test, even though I don't listen to this type of thing as much anymore.

Lol , no man, i actually dig this stuff

Lol, ridiculous. And dumb too.

Love this record!! Here's my rankings

Comes then Goes 5/5
Quick Escape 5/5

Who Ever Said 4/5
Alright 4/5
River Cross 4/5
Take The Long Way 4/5
Retrograde 3/5

I feel like this album could slowly grow up to be one if my favorites and one that I'll come back to and enjoy for years to come.

Splitting hairs to win spenno? Cmon.
I’ll say it again. You don’t seem to be understanding. It doesn’t matter who wrote them.
They’re both great examples of Pearl Jam’s seemingly Neverending mid life crisis.

And the fact anyone here likes them just goes to show they probably are too.

It’s embarrassing to hear what are basically grandads trying to pull that off.

Dime is trolling. He’s gushing about it on Facebook.

The usual suspects on RM are gonna turn on this album hard in a short enough time.

I’ll be here for it. Laughing.

Show us on the cover art where the album hurt you.

Dime. I think you’re just trying to cause a fuss. And perhaps unleashing negative energy here instead of elsewhere.

However ... never destination is actually a very intelligently written song with intelligent rhythms, changes, melody, and guitar playing.

It is not young person simpleton shit. Sorry you don’t like it. Maybe.

A few times through and my ranking so far are:

1. Quick Escape
2. Dance of the Clairvoyants
3. Who Ever Said
4. Alright
5. River Cross
6. Comes Then Goes
7. Take the Long Way
8. Never Destination
9. Superblood Wolfmoon
10. Buckle Up
11. Seven O’Clock
12. Retrograde

I gotta say, most of these Gigaton lyrics are gonna be a bitch for Ed to remember live.
I can't wait for my vinyl to arrive.

I was thinking the same(about Ed and the lyrics when played Live). We shall see. HOPEFULLY SOON!!
