same!
Yep, the chorus is my favourite part.
Took a drive with this song today and that chorus is so damn singable
This band has no right to make such a scorcher of a song after 30 years together (especially after what they’ve served up in the second half of their career).
Every time I listen to the second half of this song I can’t get the grin off my face - it’s like they’ve finally managed to capture the energy of their best extended jams from the 2000-2006 live eras

this song puts me in a TB2000 space, and I can't get enough of it

This is their finest opening song since Vitalogy for me and among the band's best in the catalogue. I absolutely love that section from 2:30 onwards, it's the highest point in this album.

I know a lot of people have mixed reactions about this song and the early verses aren't the strongest (especially coming out of such a wonderful intro) but whats happening in the 2nd half is so damn tasty. This will be a grower for many and may perhaps hold the key for the whole album. The chorus is growing on me too. It does have a No Code-Yield vibe to it.

The first verse is great. It's the second and third that dip a bit

Who Ever Said is like 3 different songs in one and I don't think even one of those is anything but very good or great.

I think Pearl Jam should learn from this and give us more song club sandwiches with extra jam

this one had grown on me the most from the first listen. its turned into a mini- highlight. This through 7oclock is an excellent 6 song run

I don't usually get emotional with Pearl Jam's rockier tunes, but this one is giving me goosebumps and making my eyes wet.
This is one of their best choruses ever, and I adore that guitar break after the first chorus.

that synth part after the first verse threatens to really upset the song, what's the point of it? that's what lead guitars are for

Far Behind is the exact riff i thought of too as the launch platform for this song
YARP.

I don’t disagree, but I like the juxtaposition. From melodic and a sense of desperate questioning to a sudden, harsh statement.

This is my favorite after DOTC. Eddie and Matt working off each other is magic.

it's true, they really lock into a groove, there's a real call and response between them in parts that used to be a real PJ strength, and I've missed it
