Kevin Davis wrote:I really like this song so this isn't meant as a criticism: I still can't get around the feeling that this sounds like Def Leppard, or some other iteration of '80's metal -- that wordless chanting during the chorus feels very Pyromania/Mutt Lange-y, and while it's not explicitly mixed to emphasize it, the riff throughout and especially during the solo feels more metallic in composition than any other Pearl Jam song I can think of. The spoken word effect in the middle has an endearing low-budget-outer-space-movie vibe to it, a device used to the same ends on Def Leppard's "Rocket" in 1987.
This song feels like a modern take on a style of music whose attempts to sound futuristic now make it sound even older than it is.
Yes I hear this too.

My initial impression is y'all like it a lot more than I do but both SuperBlood & Dance grew me as I listened a few times.
I've come around on the music at least.
I do like have they placed two of the songs that "don't sound like Pearl Jam" back to back early in album.

I hear a touch of Zeppelin with a side of Rival Sons. By far the best song they've made in 20+ years.
10/10 stars 5 stars is too limiting

This is a really strong track number. I’m in love with the top six songs here. 7-9 are all really solid too. Johnny Guitar is ok-ish, and Sirens is schlock.

Sorry to break up the ranking....
It's awesome how they put Jeff's best bass work right after Stone's.

The top 5 on this is a bitch to decide. Not sure if the newness of QE actually makes it better than the three that follow. Incidentally, Johnny Guitar is absolute dogshit.

Johnny Guitar has long been one of a very small number of PJ tracks I actually dislike.

Damn, the track 4 position is stacked! "In My Tree" through "Cropduster" are all almost equal to me, and even "Johnny" and "Sirens" are okay enough songs for being in the bottom set.
