Running

[Ms Harmless]

I really actually do like this song

POTATO! POTATO!

open the fridge!

[RockPusher]

I think the bridge might bring it to a 3.5 for me.

[Ms Harmless]

I really like the spaces left in the melody where "got me running" and whatever else appears in bars 3 and 4 of the verse, it isn't just a relentless 8th note thing and I respect that; word salad but with gaps to chew

[bodysnatcher]

I’ll give Trag this one. The production 100% is getting in the way of this song.

i cant hear a single CYmbal or Crash ring out

No decay or reverb tails at all on both songs so far...air-tight production, sounds like maybe no ambient mics so far? Is that off-base?

I'm sure they used room mics when tracking, but none of it's there in the mix

Fucking producer makes one of the greatest drummers of his generation sound like a plug-in. Does this mean I hate Pearl Jam?

Exact same thing I said about Chad Smith on Earthling

Watt did Chad so dirty

[EBowie]

If Watt ruined Chad and Matt's drum sound, as some are saying, Chad and Matt are just as much to blame as Watt. They've been pro drummers for multiple decades. They don't have to sign off on something if they don't want to.

[Ms Harmless]

this song needs ska trumpets, I can almost hear em in the intro

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

Unless your boss is Eddie Vedder and he says "you have to sign on something if you don't want to."

Fine. But either way, it's not all on Watt.

"just wait till you hear how it sounds"

I believe is what Ed told them

oh absolutely, I don't "blame" anyone, they're not the first drummers to be OK with this type of treatment and they won't be the last

this is why i quit the music business .. fucking pathetic

I really, really don't think Ed is proverbially tying the band up in a basement like you seem to think; they're all happy

[Homeboyd]

I really like this song...not sure why as the short spritzy punk songs by them are usually not my cup of tea. But this one works and I love the whole groove it has throughout. My wife who hates PJ also really liked it so now I'm gonna have to reconsider.

[tree_]

anybody else struggle to not read the song title in a Forrest Gump voice?

[Ms Harmless]

I'd put it at 3.5 if I could, I just prefer a mid-tempo funk groove like Dark Matter, so that's a 4

This is where I'm at too

I would definitely tie Stone up in the basement, if:
A. My wife would let me
B. I actually had a basement, in which I could then tie up members of my favorite bands

[Mike]

that's a chat GPT review. It has a very particular voice
