React/Respond

[lecherouslittlestump]

I told my wife "don't react, respond" when she started screaming at me about the credit card bill and all the PJ merch and Funko Pops I bought

is this B's burner account?

[dprival78]

could've done without the bit of earthing-style, computerized-eddie vocal at the end of the second (?) chorus, but that's my only problem with this one.

That part is great reminded me of binaural

after last night, i was wrong. i was talking about the artificially high-pitched responddddddddd right before the killer outro.

an old-man snarly growl would've been more organic, but maybe i'm nit picking

I was really, really worried that this song was going to be a "political" defence of tone-policing, but after my cinema visit I'm glad to say it isn't

this song kills, I love it

[Coach]

I just think this song is so groovy and funky and I love that Ed kinda raps / rhymes a lot half way through

I really think this is the type of song that has staying power

Best fast PJ rocker since...maybe ever?

uh what? It is a great song but do you not consider Go, Animal, DtE fast rockers?

this verse is so 80s haha, needs to be in a Steve Martin movie

I can definitely relate, I do love my Funko Pops though

[Ms Harmless]

Ed actually says "oh baby, baby" and that just cements it as an 80s Michael J Fox movie pop masterpiece

What the hell is he singing about?

[stip]

this jumped up with a clean recording

[Thejambi]

As the kids say - this song fucks.

I wish the chorus was as strong as everything else though.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[stip]

excellent outro

the dont react/respond will be fine with good verse lyrics

[Tj]

Is this a polical battle cry or a relationship song I can't tell

[Thejambi]

Is this the worst case yet of a PJ song with awesome music / clunky lyrics? I'm so into it until he starts singing "don't react, respond."

Conceptually, it's nearly identical to Fugazi's "Place/Position." But Ed can't deliver these sorts of everyman wisdom nuggets anymore without sounding dumb.

Yeah. There are a couple “react, responds” that sound fine but he starts throwing on every weird inflection that he knows and they all do sound dumb.

The yell/scream out of the Choruses sound pretty good though.

[Coach]

Chili Peppers vibe still. Funky. Love it.
