I’m really not flamboyant. I’m kinda repulsed by it tbh

You’d know that if you looked through my cambodia pics.

I’ll be eternally lonely as I’m not identifiably gay. I’m just normal.

I’m trying to get used to it. Single life sucks.

Quick Escape has to be a strong track, following this one.

Today is the first time I've listened to this on weeks - pretty much on the back of all those reviews coming out. Still holds up really well.

this is probably the best single since whatever they released for avocado. it still floors me. its like they took mushrooms and tried to write an r&b song.

was severed hand a single? thats probably my favorite from that album. regardless, i cant really compare this to any other pearl jam song. the only thing i can think of is hearing 'in my tree' way back and thinking "holy shit, this is pearl jam?"

Great comparison on the feeling of hearing both!

It’s not even a drum machine on this song, it’s 100% Matt.

true, I read that it's mixed to sound like a drum machine; the drums change somewhere in the middle to sound natural

also Matt is nowhere close to one of the best drummers of the modern age; he's just a famous one and miles better than Lars Ulrich

I played this twice today, volume way up on headphones. It's still really, really good. Better than anything off the last 3 records, and I'm one of the few that found enjoyment in them.

I liked Infallible more than any song since Riot Act. This beats the hell out of Infallible by a giant margin. So...

I caught my wife singing this while she was folding laundry last night. The highest of praise for a PJ song.
