An ideal Pearl Jam has a mix between hard rock songs, midtempo songs, and a few slower songs.

But does it sound like Ten/Vs era? No.

Really? It could be from that period easily i reckon.
I can’t hear it being from any other time.
But it’s great if you can.

It’s now I guess. That’s what’s important.

Yes, sounds nearly 0% like Ten/Vs to me, 90% like S/T period. Would have been a top 4-5 song on that album.

I have NO Idea what you guys are talking about. This song sounds most like Alone or Breath, which is a sound that Self/Titled sounded nothing like...Self/Titled sounded like a bunch of songs in the vein of the Who or something they had lost that Dave-A esque groove which is here on this track

Breath? Ed sounds completely different, than he did then. Even the music isn’t similar at all.

I wanted you all to be aware.

Of course Ed sounds different 30 years later. I don’t think anyone means this sounds literally the same as any Ten/Vs song but I find way more similarities in musical style and melodic choices with This song and some of those ten/vs outtakes than anything on S/T. This song slots in quite well next to Breath and Alone in particular.

Both Alone and Breath are basically mid-tempo songs, and Quick Escape has a lot more meat on it. Big Wave is a better comparison.
