Thin Air.

God that bridge. What perfection. Ed sounds so good and focused, the background vocals just barely filling the space like a choir hoping to be unleashed.

Ugh.

I'm always surprised how well this album ages and how much it's grown on me over the years. It's the biggest "surprise" in the Pearl Jam canon for me.

Im always surprised on good it is. And there are always new layers to it, these days i cant believe how fuckin hard it rocks....Its not the same rock that VS for sure, but man, those guitars are amazing.

Even in a mid tempo song like Sleight Of Hand, their are just fucking loud.

After listening to the "Deluxe" version, I've decided it's definitely one of my favorites. I mean, I knew it already, but I hadn't listened to it in a while, and it hit me juuuuuuuuuust right. I even let it play thru NAIS without skipping it. And what other album ever has so many great tracks that were cut. This could easily have been a double album.
