Vs. 30th Anniversary (Reissue, see page 3)

[Monkey_Driven]

Man, that boy has written a lot of bangers

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[wease]

He’s written some of the very best, and some of the very worst, material of their career. There’s oddly very little middle ground.

I’ll go along with this

agreed. the ones that i really love are ones that are also pretty long in the tooth.

[Chris_H_2]

i hate that saying by the way

[Kevin Davis]

I’ll be the voice of dissent — there are a few all-timers on that list (“Corduroy,” “RVM,” “Insignificance”), and a few dung piles (“Future Days,” “Gone,”), but a lot of that stuff is pretty middle-of-the-pack.

[liebzz]

I like Gone. Always have. Sorry folks.

[Ello Sailor]

Not For You slaps. But RVM is likely his best.

[guitar_davey]

I like Gone. Always have. Sorry folks.

Same here.

[epilogue]

I like Gone. Always have. Sorry folks.

Same.

But you don't want me on your team because I also adore Future Days.

[liebzz]

I like Gone. Always have. Sorry folks.

Same.

But you don't want me on your team because I also adore Future Days.

We don’t have to agree on everything. We can still be teammates.

God bless us, everyone

Same.

But you don't want me on your team because I also adore Future Days.

Aside from the lame piano and the fact it caps off an unsatisfying record, I can take Future Days for what it is.

[Matters]

Leave Eddie out of the music-writing process.

Leave Eddie out of the guitar tone-setting process.

This really pisses me off:

songfacts:Are you still in touch with any of your former Pearl Jam band mates?

Abbruzzese: It’s strange. I’m actually in contact with Dave Krusen, Jack Irons, and Matt Cameron, but I haven’t spoken to or heard from any of the other band members since I got fired. Not one thing.

[96583UP]

the 'cattiness' comment i totally get and just see that as an extension of it

[96583UP]

at the end of the day for all of Pearl Jam's themes of moral superiority they are actually very weak people (see: their last half-dozen shitty albums)
