are a lot of you not picking Mind Your Manners simply because its been out so long and is not knew... I get the feeling if that wasnt a single, and we all just heard it for the first time, it would be getting a lot more love :P

Ive spun it a few times now today

Mind Your Manners im still loving a lot, probably in my top 20 PJ songs
Infallible has one cool bluesy groove love it
Pendulum sounds like a distant cousin musically of Cold Confessions, LOVE the direction theyve taken the band on those songs
and Yellow Moon i really like the riffs a lot.

Lightning Bolt sounds like it should be with Amongst the Waves and Force of Nature and Of the Earth... that would have made a nice concept album PJ ;)

Getaway, My Fathers Son, and Swallowed Whole all feel like, to me, songs that would have been great for the next Lost Dogs album, and wed all be going on and on about how they should have been on the album! but, theyre on the album... and theyre good? theyre just not GREAT

I don't understand. This song probably has the most ham-fisted orchestration of any Pearl Jam song ever.

I have to admit, I'm really loving MYM at the moment. The first three on the album are pretty damn good.

Getaway and MFS are great songs - as good as any PJ rock songs of the same ilk.

SW is good, and definitely an album worthy track.
