It's like McCready forgot how to play with any taste around 20 years ago, it's 'all bonehead, all the time' now.

Those big dumb 'Got Some'-style leads are his default now and I can't think of anything like that on the records from their first decade.

That’s kind of knee jerk, don’t you think?

15 second clip. To me is sounds like the end of the bridge going into a Mike solo, but you never know what part of the song it could be from.

I really like what I hear, but I hope the full track is not a let down.

Try this.

thanks!

it's definitely reminding me of Got Some / MFS

I get a hint of got some, but it sounds moodier and more aggressive.

I don’t hear mfs one bit.

I hate to say this, it just sounds to me like a generic cut to commercial.

that's the Mike Tirico influence

what is a "generic cut to commercial"?

Or did you mean to say you don't believe it's PJ, and rather, another artist that SOUNDS like PJ. That would be fair and entirely possible.

I'm still betting that we're hearing PJ.

FYI Wrecker is the name of a Mono Men album from 1992 and Ed was a fan of them.

thanks, hard to really make much of that

but seems like we are close to new music!

That does really sound like pearl jam, but not in the good way.

It's silly (but fun!) to make any big judgements from that short of a clip, out of context - but I don't like it! It sounds like the logical extension of Lightning Bolt

It's kind of funny that we can't tell the difference between new Pearl Jam and generic cut to commercial music.

What of LB do you hear in there? I'm not getting any of that except for the faintest bit of MYM maybe. Definitely a bit of Got Some, but GS has that weird time signature (stop/start in the verse).

Make sure you listen to the second clip I posted, with headphones. Honestly it feels like something that could have come out of Vs. I know that's a huge extrapolation from 15 seconds, but it sounds dark, angry, aggressive like Go (im not saying it sounds like Go). Mike is clearly speed picking on the lead melody at around the 8 second mark - I like it.

Anyway, what a waste of time if this isn't PJ ha.

Guys, remember Infallible

You people are psychotic

I heard Take the Long Way, which isn't a good thing, but it's really hard to make anything of this

Completely fair. But that was hearing a snippet from soundcheck and the live version is a big improvement on the studio track.

I like Infallible lol

Who had bammer is the voice of reason on their first single bingo card?!

the first four bars of the MFS chorus are basically hammering on what sounds like the same chords

Guys focus on the snare which sounds like a moist throw pillow
