I hope that by "us" he means to an extent that fans will recognise as PJ
This is a great point and kinda makes me tear up.

I love when people make me feel brief and concise!

Are you sure about this statement? :haha:
why say in 200 words what you could say in 2000?

I don't know if this board has fully expressed the brilliance of Ed's harmonies. The vocal lines he chooses are brilliant, and I can't think of a time they weren't mixed perfectly. DotC brings back that skill full force and puts it on beautiful display. I'm blown away all over again. I'd love to see behind the scenes recording footage of him going through the process.

I agree the harmonies are a real strength in this song; it feels to me like this producer got the best from Ed vocally, which is the polar opposite to what we're used to now

I've really been digging groovy rock songs that are kinda spooky and have lots of attitude. This song couldn't have come at a better time for me.

I love the guitar tone on this track. Best "solo" since DTE.

I didn’t go back to check, but does anyone else think we’ll get Mach III on Feb 5, and possibly the next single?

I’ve got to agree with verb. There have been quite a few good ones since then, nor is yield a record I associate with a ton of great solos

This is absolutely not true. Though I really like the song and the guitar tone, it's very much of a supporting sound that adds little musical flourishes and nowhere close to a solo imo.

That's definitely what it is.

The video with the nature footage was titled "Mach I" and it was already foreshadowed there would be at least one other video released.
Pearl Jam are funny.

the 90's: "We will not make videos on principle."
now: "Let's make three different videos for the same song!"

Yea. This is not a solo. It’s just the rhythm track sans other instruments.

So Dance Of The Clairvoyants isn’t marked with an “E” for explicit language on Spotify.
