React, Respond
Running

I don't see it changing. But those are the only two. Great album. Best since Binaural.

I love the album as a whole, but I usually skip GTG.
And some of you are pushing WFS into overrated territory.

:D

I always skip Running. It's shite.

WfS and SSpecial often get skipped too.

I don’t skip around at all on this, but I have listened to it a few times when I am running, and given I am still rebuilding distance, I often finish the run at the close of Stevie, technically skipping the last four songs, but I am hopeful that will gradually lead me to more songs once I can extend my run.

these days i dont listen to SoF much. Also, Stevie because i listened to it so much i need to rest. SS and Got To Give sometimes too.

Weirdly enough i do need to listen DM and Running.

Who are the psychopaths skipping:

SoF
Wreckage
Won't Tell
Stevie
Setting Sun


????????

personally would add GtG as well but I take it that some aren't as high on it as I am, and I can at least understand that though I think it's top 5 on the record.

Went go take a piss during React Respond in Seattle last night. Something about Jeff’s bass in that one sounds like ass live.

I'm kind of been in and out on the title track, but the main hurdle for me is that run of Running/Special/Got to Give in the back third.

If you don't count not even importing Future Days into iTunes, Gigaton is the first and only Pearl Jam record that has any songs I skip. And I, unfortunately, skip more than half of them now that the new album luster has long faded. I could take a Giga-EP that is Whoever Said, Superblood Wolf Moon, Quick Escape, Dance of the Clairvoyants, and Never Destination and be fine.

I don't feel compelled to skip anything on Dark Matter and can let it play through over and over with no issues. I am least interested in Something Special but even it has a home in there. I take that one kind of like a full band arrangement of a ukulele song in the vein of Sleeping By Myself. It's fine and has some good lines but the overall it's an understandable flyover song.

I've occasionally skipped DM, but initially because I just knew it so much better than the rest and just wanted to hear the new stuff.

I really liked DM when it came out, and still do. BUT, it's the weak link in the Wreckage through Stevie run. It will be skipped more than others in the future, I'd guess.

Songs I haven't skipped yet, but may in the future:
React, Respond

Honestly, an EP that was similar to this:
SoF
DM
Wreckage
Upper
Stevie
GtG
Setting

with the rest of the songs as B-sides to all the singles?

That would have been pretty stellar.

Did you sprint or just pee in the aisle? That song's like 180 seconds.
