If I could wipe one pearl jam song (and video ) from existence it would be the fixer. That means it beats sirens, and Eddie singing can't keep on a rock in the ocean all windswept in a suit, as you do.

If it's Ed playing it solo I think it will be fine.

While not a terrible song Sleeping By Myself feels like a totally unneeded inclusion on the album. This might have actually have been a fun B-Side if they still did that.

Hypnosomnia wrote:This is my verdict. The songs on the album rank from good to great, but I finally have to accept that the production is the main problem here. I simply can not believe that Brendan O´Brien is the same guy that produced Vitalogy or No Code, although you can see the beginning of the problem, whether you like or not, in Yield (strangely enough, my favorite record) Yes, just listen to that album and you´ll see. I´m an album kind of person, not so much a bootleg one, but for the first time I think that I´ll enjoy more the live renditions of the songs rather than the album´s. I´m a little sad and frustrated cause this could have been a beast of an album, but it´s ultimately neutered thanks to the inappropriate production. It simply lacks balls. Everything sounds so fucking thin and pretty. Arghh. Really, this guy is doing some pretty good permanent damage to the band.
I respect this opinion but wondering what are some specific examples, I'm not a production expert so I'm not really sure what it means.

Overall I liked it quite a bit more than backspacer, but that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. I think i like it more than self titled, but only time will tell on that one.
I am actually really disappointed about the whole Mind Your Manners outro thing. That was probably my favorite thing I had heard out of the initial 6 or 7 songs, was when they had what I thought was a little pause and the return to the intro... but NOOOO thats not actually part of the song.

You were watching these Youtube videos at the time, right? What about all the others that included the MYM outro as well? Or didn't you watch those?

Having not listened to this, of all the PJ albums discussed so far, I think this one has the most differing opinions per song than any other album... Some people love one song, and other people think it's completely meh. Some people love Yellow Moon (or insert any other song, minus Getaway), some people hate it. I really have no idea what to expect*, and I love that.
*except Future Days. I have no hope in that.

I did not. I had the actual leaks emailed to me on those. Where as when Mind Your Manners was released, it was official and easy to view there. I never listened to it outside that.

I mean the vignettes / Youtube ads. They all had an ad running at the end with that MYM intro over it.
