Concerns about Watt's production choices are legit. But if it's true that he helped inspire and energize the band, I'm willing to deal with whatever issues we have with the sonics, provided the songs are good and the performances are good.

I got a logical extension of Earthlings vibe with this one. Rose of Jericho flavor.

although I think Jeff said this was Big Sandy Punk, so I'm guessing he has the main writing credit

Is someone cataloging an Urban Dictionary of Pearl Jam terms somewhere? Should it be its own thread?
-spritzy
-word salad
-hairplugs
-PRAMG
-logical extension (that's what she said)

I think that was a certain verse of React, Respond? I could be wrong, I'd have to back and re-read the interview

Gigaton sounded really good to me. Loved the production and the mix.

I kinda know i wont be a fan of the production of this one, but it seems there is enough stuff in the music that will grab me for sure.

Out of
Control
lost in a tunnel
and the tunnels getting funneled
like the sewage and the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running
we're cleared for
for liftoff
I close my eyes
take off
living in the shadows
crossing my fingers
a date with the gallows
and a reprieve's not looking likely

It’s R/R.

Devo and Police elements.

Im really psyched for that one.
