I agree it's an all-time great PJ song.

Still kicks ass.
I still come back to it almost daily.
It is still the only Gigaton song I deliberately seek out.
It's in the PJ hall of fame in my eyes, hands down among the best songs they created EVER.

It legitimately makes me so happy to see many folks loving this song and rating it a 5. It’s an excellent song, a 4/5 for me, not one of their best ever in my opinion, but I’m glad it feels like a sign the band has still got it. I haven’t been interested in listening to it in a long while, but I think I’ll listen to it again and see if it conjures the same magic it did the first time I heard it.

I might be late to the party on this, but I dig the Talking Heads vibe on this song.

this isn't my favourite song on Gig-A-Lot but it's one of several that make it Pearl Jam's best since Riot Act

I'd say the best thing since You Are.
This is pretty close to truth. Maybe Parachutes and Marker might be at the table...
