I swear every time i've seen this song live they crank camerons drums up in the mix. And i fucking love it. Pummeling.

Great song. Comatose.

Instrumentals don't usually do much for me, unless they are something special. Chinese is...fine

Comatose is a spikey middle finger in all the best way. Searing lyrics, maybe Eddie's best political commentary of the era. Great raw energy, awesome solo, and Eddie's best growly performance since DTE. 5 star song, probalby

Comatose is Pearl Jam finally succeeding at forced punk. Love it.

It was the song they had to write after the VFC tour and all those punk covers they did.

Not a huge fan of Comatose, but every now and then it hits just right and I can totally get why some people love it. I can’t remember what the other one sounds like.

I almost want to abstain. These are both throw aways. Chinese I guess because it's not violently offensive to my ears.

Comatose is one of my least favorite Pearl Jam songs.

Same. Nothing about it works for me. Hell, Is rather listen to Habit on repeat.

Pearl Jam supposed to be a rock band. Gotta vote for the rocker once in a while. Comatose.
