It's a good song and it should have been the closer. Future Days is a real turd.

The chorus kills this one for me. Reminds me a lot of MiTS - Dirty, awesome verses and bland, poppy chorus.
it's bar band blues, tommy. :shake:

I can't help but think how much more epic this album would have been with Of the Earth in place of Sleeping By Myself. I don't hate Sleeping By Myself,but it feels so out of place. Of the Earth would have fit perfect in its place.. Im not feeling Infallible. I'm finding it boring.. Yellow moon is kicking my ass though as well as the rest of the album.

Pretty solid. A lot better than I expected, that's for sure.
these are out of 10, right?
I can see how these scores could seem a little generous, but I was taking into account my expectations - it certainly doesn't touch Vitalogy - RA era Pearl Jam, but I think it is a better album than the last two.

I'm picking up more of a mobility scooter vibe, personally.
Off topic, but I went to Disney World in Orlando a few weeks ago and was stunned by the amount of morbidly obese people riding those.
It's mind blowing.

The mere fact that I like more than one song puts it ahead of backspacer. Might be better than avocado, we'll see.

People have gone way overboard with the MiTS chorus meme. Great fucking song.

Future days might be their worst song ever. Worse than the fixer.

A fitting close to a turd of an album.

Still can't tell if Wendy likes this album or not.

Future Days is pretty bad. Lop it off.
