Red Mosquito

This tune was my favorite on the Ukulele Songs (together with 'Longing to Belong').
I am happy that the band version is not so different, at the moment can't decide if i like it more than the original.

The end of this album, SBM, YM & FD, melodically, is very pretty to me.

pretty little song for being so depressing. i the part thats just ed and the uke

This song is fucking lovely. It's like the best cheese. It's like aged Mimolette.

Seriously. I rated it 3 stars but I feel like that needs to be explained. Pendulum is my favorite song on the album and that only got 4 stars. So I've graded everything else relative to that. I don't want to give this a 4 star ranking and then have rated the same as 4 star songs from the better albums.

I feel as if it's time you started grading PJ on a curve. They're at a lower point in general than they were pre-Riot Act. We agree on that. So you know, set your criteria, and just give this song that 4th star it wants. It's like ripping off a band-aid, it'll only hurt for a second.

PROPAGANDIST! NOW MAKE YOUR GETAWAY!

I've got this at 5 stars currently, and pendulum at 4. Whoda thunk it.

That's pretty awesome.

So there are at least 5 3-4 stars song on this record for you? That has to be quite the success for modern day Pearl Jam!

I love every love for SBM.

this song is much better than I expected it to be. I wasn't bothered by it being on the record, but I find I'm enjoying it more than the original.

"Hey that didn't suck nearly as much as I expected". 2 stars. I'd give it 2.5 but that doesn't exist.

So nice to see this getting some love.

Bored of the whole 'it's all been downhill since the Mamasan demo' bullshit.

No, there is only one 4 star song. And a few 3 star songs.

Should of been cast off to the b-side realm.

The guitar chord that accompanies "...and I believe in nothing..." is GORGEOUS. Guitarists, what is it?
