It's just weird...like all their music from 10 through RA is just nothing like this. They had slow/chill songs, but without going all Winger / Warrant on us. I mean, this number here has that "Heaven Isn't Too Far Away" vibe going on, mixed with some of the power pop of 90's Aerosmith. While I don't really like that kind of music, maybe I'm giving this song a pass because it's Pearl Jam. I'm still not sure quite how to describe it, my first though was "Pearl Jam meets Bon Jovi". I'm still surprised that the band that seemed so against music like this has been delivering songs like "Just Breathe" and "Sirens".

All signs point to me hating this song, this style just isn't my thing. However, I kinda like it. After about 5 listens now, I can confidently say I like it better than "Amongst The Waves". Maybe this is the best of the worst of recent Pearl Jam. My "worst" list includes: ATW, Inside Job, Gone, and really most of Backspacer.

I would definitely say that I like it better than Inside Job, Gone, The Fixer and Just Breathe. ATW has surprisingly been growing on me of late, so I might put it on equal footing with Sirens right now, but Sirens definitely has much more potential as a grower... especially the live version from the video.

I actually should revisit Backspacer. I haven't listened to it since we did a LAL on the old board, like 2 years ago.

I know harmless has been championing ATW lately, so that has gotten me a bit curious to revisit it.

This is like ranking the times when your dog shit on your carpet from best to worst.

I can't wait to dump to this song.

It hasn't improved at all. I think there'll be people looking back at this moment and saying "Yup...that was the final nail in the coffin for me"

It's funny because it's true.

Pearl Jam...what have you done?
