I've thought about doing it. Only here would we retrack an album before it's released.

What the fuck is happening to Eddies voice when a sings "a long time aGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"? It's cool but was a little strange at first. :lol:

This could've easily fit on Binaural or Riot Act. In fact, I think it would be a cool opening track for Riot Act.

okay, I'm okay with Eddie's vocals now, but I still wish this was an instrumental track, and that remains the only time i've ever said this about a pearl jam song.

This is a mix issue actually. The vocals sound different than the band. They should have been less bright. Maybe it won't be as noticeable on the CD.
Didn't they say they redid the vocals and percussion on this after recording it years ago?

some of that outro vocalization stuff is pretty cool, and it's nice to see them do it

I love everything about this song musically.

Fucking travesty this isnt longer. The percussion gets really interesting at the end, and the cut it off! dumbasses.

Does the end feel really abrupt to anyone else? It doesnt get all that quiet before it cuts off.

I'll do these lyrics now.
