I actually thought the backing vocal was good. I might have to listen again. From experience I do not like Matt or Jeff backing vocals

I thought they were fine for a rock show.

there is a subtle little vulnerable quaver Eddie adds to the delivery of nothing left’ that is pretty affecting

I saw a different video of the 5/10 Wreckage and it sounded pretty good.

In the US it's currently #13 on Alternative, #12 on Rock and #10 on Adult Alternative. It's been steadily climbing on each format since it was released about a month ago.

Wreckage is climbing for me too. I liked it a lot the first week, but it just keeps getting better.
I really like the tempo of this one compared to something like Sirens.

Before they hit the outro on this (the call and response like “combing through the wreckage”), there’s like a harder segue into that, like a harmony of the guitars all playing the one set of notes, and that to me is a snapshot of all that is right with both Pearl Jam and classic rock cathartically placed in that one moment - a summary of all classic rock distilled into a few intense notes.

This song has been in my head a lot the past few days, and I think it's often this moment you're citing that actually pops in there first.

Yes 100%, I haven't been able to articulate the vibe I get from this part of the song (when the guitars sweep back in full force) before the perfect outro. I can't help but jolt my head forward in unison every time I hear it. Well said!

Pearl Jam rediscovered their killer bridge/killer outro mojo on this entire record.

Wreckage is probably the song that has grown for me the most since the initial listen (other than running), and its mostly for all the quiet emotional intensity that drops in and out likr its escaping his need to hold himseld together. right now its the way he sings ‘and not just in yhe night’ at the start of the last set of verses

Yep, that moment and beyond sends this song into the stratosphere. I feel the same about the bridge in Corduroy.

Definitely a highlight of the record and one that would not have happened with the band writing and sending demos from afar. Them in a room together captured the tension and release of that moment. So good. Humans playing off eachother.
