Wreckage is obviously a way better song...but I feel it kind of lifts this one up a bit too

Just hope there's a bit more to Something Special like a nice intro, a decent bridge & a good Mike solo

I thought / hoped this would happen for some people; a nice happy ditty like this is fine but it needs contextualising and grounding in a Pearl Jam album, so it was really risky that it was the third thing they gave us; imagine if "Soon Forget" had been our first Binaural single

Have a feeling some of the harder tracks like Scared of Fear & React / Respond are a bit bleak and dark.
So perhaps Wreckage and Something Special are placed on the album to add some light
Although the Wreckage lyrics seem pretty dark - the music at least provides a positive summer like lift

yes

I can't remember a single thing about the Wreckage snippet because this one, unfortunately, beat the shit out of it in its conquest of my short memory bank

Not your fault.
It's hooky as fuck.

Man, listening to this snippet after Wreckage makes me dislike this one even more.

Come to the Baltimore show

The bass is the best thing about this.

yep, I think the guitar quality in general saves it

I think the sentimental side of me is going to win out and really enjoy this one for what it is. It's been stuck in my head all week.

It’s the most invasive of the bunch.
A true ear worm.

That was Classico, and I lol’d!

That wasnt something special, that was just a tribute.

For all of how much I hate it this one is the one that’s stuck in my head the most
