Super interesting match. A few days ago I had a long drive ahead of me. I wanted a DM break of sorts so I thought let's play the arena songs of Backspacer then Yield. Then I wanted to finish it with Setting Sun as the closer of that set. So it was a play date for setting sun of sorts. Could it go over to the house of Yield get along and have a good day? Would it get anxious and want to go home?
Drive kicks off to just settle in ATW just to settle in . Force of Nature. Unthought Known volume is up now. Get ready for it Brain of J breaks yhe door down. I not new this album and it doesn't disappoint only a matter of minutes and I will be flying. It comes and goes in all its glory. Hummus is skipped GTF gets a repeat. Then Setting Sun. How the verse kicks in how sublime the trees go by the chorus oh this fits right in . Then the end of the song . Now I'm flying been give wings by song that is both a punch to the jaw and a worm embrace as the outro pushes me to another place . I feel the need to pull over and fully relieve the love that has just been shared. So yes of course Setting Sun gets my vote.

Thanks Stip. You give a lot of time to run these and it doesn't go unappreciated.

[stip]

My pleasure. It's always a great excuse to revisit the catalog

[liebzz]

Excited for next year when we’ve had a whole year of Dark Matter, which in RM years includes the excited recency bias, the backlash, and the backlash to the backlash.

I couldn't keep up with the tournament so didn't see who was facing who, but you guys voting Brain of J as the best ever Pearl Jam song is just insane T_T
