Because obviously Black is going to be comparable to this version of the song.

What...What is this?

This...thing... made me feel things I've never felt before.

You're right. I really want to lick some ukeleles and start yelling at kids to get off of my lawn now.

She really half-asses the "I study your face" line.

I'm simultaneously repulsed and aroused at the same time.

It really does a great job of highlighting certain qualities that were tucked carefully underneath the surface of the song to begin with, but which were exactly those elements that disengaged so many of us.

It does perfectly capture the horrifying combination of cheese, bombast and earnestness present in that song. In a way it's the best pearl jam cover I've ever heard.

This is a great example of what RM goggles would be like.

I want to sit down with the band and give them a stern lecturing.

I haven't been able to process my reaction to this. It's really good on some levels. But I hate those levels. #conflicted

She sounds like the girl from Paramore.

This comment exactly mirrors a lot of reactions to Sirens itself.

In any case, this is now the definitive version of Sirens. I get it now.

You guys are finally starting to catch on? Imagine every song of the night was this bad. That's what it was like seeing them in Philly. And that's why I haven't been to a PJ concert or purchased a boot since.

I've been saying PJ were lazy live for a long time now.

They should retract Lightning Bolt and make this the third single, instead.

LOL. What?

Such a massive difference. Am I in the right thread?

oh my god, why

I was there, man. It was painful.

The best part is that they knew everything they needed to know about how this was going to turn out six seconds in, and never looked back.

On second thoughts, the music in Black is awesome
It's just the lyrics that are cringeworthy

Honestly, that is how I feel about 74.6% of Pearl Jam's catalog.

I don't think I care much about lyrics. There's hardly any PJ lyrics that make me cringe.

Maybe Amongst the Waves and Inside Job
