I didn't! I just figured it was him.

According to the leaked liner notes, background vocals for this song are credited to Sean Penn and Bill Maher.

As opposed to Daughter? Yes
Sure, it's played in open tuning
Other than that, it's got the same chiming R.E.M. middle america folksy vibes that Swallowed Whole had

this drum groove is exactly what Matt plays on his version of Daughter (live), and the picking / strumming with both 8th and 16th notes to give it groove is similar

I agree that the prequels weren't perfect, but at least George had a vision for them. The sequels are cash grab filth that insult the intelligence of millions of fans.

Yeah, I don't really hear Daughter in this. More like Swallowed Whole, as you said, or really a sped-up Sirens.

I'm better understanding why one of the critics who heard it early compared it to Backspacer. Everything's had the kind of sheen that album has in spots.

also that vocal melody line really does chime with "aloooone... listless...."

Post-ST? Yes

Gigaton was the bar; I like this but it's not Gigaton, yet

No. You must rank, rate, and hate on it now.

I'm a long time lurker, just started posting, and from what I gather, it seems like there's some folks on here that actually want to dislike the new album. As if it's more fun to shit on something than praise.

I hope it starts just like that, with the guitar opening and then drums coming in. What a great throwback to Daughter. I'm gonna love this track

And Jimmy Fallon plays acoustic guitar and has a songwriting credit?!

This sounds nothing like Tom Petty. I was worried it would be like Long Way which is too close for comfort in terms of an homage. Honestly, it sounds like modern PJ but there’s a relaxed straight-forward vibe to it that they rarely do.

Not for me. Great album upon release. Served its purpose at the perfect time, and fell quickly out of the rotation beyond that.
Has some great songs on it, but, the staying power wasn't there.
Back half loses too much steam.
