I might have ignored the grammar if not for the "I wouldn't stoop so low as to pay money for a fan club membership. Will you dummies who did give me this song?" attitude.

Who cares?

In any case, Tj's been here for ages.

I just rubbed me the wrong way. *shrug*

Thank you for that. I never could justify the money for the fan club being working poor. My only point was that I paid the band for their art. I never stole it from the internet. Absolutely my grammar as it appears on electronic devices is awful. Sometimes it is intended as with using your instead of you are. Usually it is me being a moron. I felt I had some relationships on the forum but many of those people are gone or don't post much.

Did B rub B the wrong way or did I? I rub myself the wrong often . So don't feel to bad B.

Song is ok. Some cool stuff going on musically, lyrics aren’t very good. Also Ed’s our of breath. Would listen again but not seek it out.

Does make me wonder if there are new songs coming at the upcoming shows.

This has got BOB written all over it

guys i think this is pretty good. it'd be better with a solo section and if they bothered to actually write something for the bridge but this is nowhere near as bad as some of youse are making out. especially if it's just a 10c single. beats the hell outta the fixer.

Speaking of NY. All the people complaining about "how bad" the lyrics are and obviously "anti-Trump". This is no where near Lets Impeach the President bad.
I think we, as PJ fans, are getting dangerously close to Metallica fans in our level of disinterest/dissatisfaction. I used to laugh at how part of Metallica fans hated the new music for being, new music that wasn't anything like Metallica. The next album theyd be bitching how they just rehashed their old songs and called them new. Never happy, always mad. I hope that's not where were all headed, and I hope Pearl Jam is a better band and will keep making at least good music. Nothing was great on LB but it had good music at least. Id put this song Cant Deny Me in that category.

I really don't even know if this song is anti Trump. It could just be anti-alt right wing everything.

Just to balance out all the negativity specifically targeted towards Ed, let me reiterate that I really like this song and that Ed's singing is the best part of it. No Ed, no reason for me to listen to this band. I am excited for a new album and if this song makes it on that album, I wouldn't be disappointed at all. Yes, I'd prefer it not make the album if that means I can get another new song instead.

Yeah, I think one of the great tragedies of Cornell's passing is it diminished the chances of hearing what this band are capable of without going through the filter of Ed.

Just not sure if any of us would really ever get back to that feeling you had 15-20 years ago. I don’t think there is any song or album they could put out right now that will live up to that. While the last 2 albums aren’t my favorites there is still some good stuff in there.
I think this song is different sounding, which is a good step.

I told you that I was the shittiest poster on this forum.

This might be the first Pearl Jam song where Eddie's vocals actually annoy me.

Will this be on the new record or not?

I think it's time for an Annual Single / Christmas Single Ranking Thread! There are currently 55 songs. Go!

Such a ranking should probably be song against song, and regardless of being a cover or not. However, getting two original Pearl Jam songs must be the best. F.ex. Strangest Tribe and Drifting. That's a great Christmas Single.
