There’s nothing else comes close. The whole whole song is pure Ten
It almost stands out as it’s so different and distinct to the rest on DM

No?

The riff feels more like an Eddie riff than say a stone riff, and so less Ten in its feel. . The elements that are most Ten are the full lean into anthemic bombast, and Eddie crooning over the outro, which is in EVERY ten climax and then basically drops out of the catalog. And it is expansive in a way that feels very Ten. It is ten in its influences and performances. But not the riff.

Would've been a horrible match!

Spot on.

And again, for the small number of hand-wringers worried about Watt's songwriting credits on this one, he's got a music songwriting credit on every track on the album. No, that does not mean this isn't a Pearl Jam album. It's just how he rolls. BO'B, Parashar, and others have had as much influence in other ways with this band.

To clarify, he is rolling with "Pay me a day rate for my session time, and also a portion of your publishing revenues, in perpetuity, because I've helped you write these songs."

Would be thrilled with either of these.

I thought Gigaton was a minor triumph in both creative approach and sonics, so I would've been happy to see them continue plugging away in the warehouse with Josh Evans for another few records.

Exactly this ^^

Except gigaton is a major triumph there’s nothing minor about it.
