Opposite. Force of nature is the best song they've written since Yield.
Amongst the waves fails all over. Too much trying to sound like pearl jam and failing by forcing it. It's play count (only 42 times played) vs unthought knowns play count (123 times)
Makes that point. UK is a truer more natural song to PJ. ATW should be but just isn't.

"Force of Nature" has its charms. I like it. It's just very mediocre musically. The only Binaural song it's better than is "Soon Forget".

"Soon Forget" is a better song than it gets credit for -- the uke arrangement sounds kind of chintzy and the lyrics suck, but the tune and the chords are great. I really like Eddie's writing on the uke -- he seems more interested in messing around with surprising chords and harmonies, where on guitar he just seems to default to fairly common open chords and/or power chords.theplatypus wrote:"Force of Nature" has its charms.

Infallible is the best song since Riot Act.tragabigzanda wrote:You Are is the best song since Yield.
Army Reserve is the best song since Riot Act.
The Fixer is the best song since Avocado.
Pendulum is the best song since Backspacer.

There's a beautiful loose but intent energy in force of nature that pearl jam hasn't managed to conjure in a long time. Maybe in puzzle and games.

The Just Breathe through Unthought Known run is fairly close. Supersonic is the only song I just don't care for.

This always feels like a cop out but give FoN a good listen with headphones. There's a lot of cool stuff happening underneath what is on the surface, a fairly clunky and uninspiring riff (especially during the second verse). Also Eddie gives a pretty passionate performance, some of his best lyrics, and a simple but cathartically inspiring outro.
