Red Dot actively irritates me. Sleight of Hand is a slog. I've learned to look past the lyrics of No Way and can appreciate its attitude and kick ass music. Easy vote

No way instrumentation is incredible. The bridge (and the guitars at the end of it) is one of my favorite moment in the catalogue.

No Way is so good. It has such a nice groove and melody to it.

No Way by the slightest over SoH.

I mentioned in the "Pilate" vs "Light Years" vs "Given to Fly" thread about this bracket being a tough one, and here's another hard match. "Red Dot" is whatever, but "No Way" and "Sleight of Hand" are both great. "Sleight of Hand" is my longtime favorite Pearl Jam song, though (about twenty years now), and I will easily vote for it here.

Sleight of Hand, maybe the closest Pearl Jam got to shoegaze.

Sleight of Hand
No Way is the song with one of Eddies worst vocals of the first five albums. The music is cool, though.

there are a few overly affected vocals on Yield.

Close. Even picked No Way reflexively, but Sleight of Hand is pretty remarkable, so I changed my vote.

There should be more songs in PJ's catalog like No Way

Honestly surprised Sleight of Hand isn't winning here, I thought it was pretty popular by the die-hards? Lol. I went with it. No Way is a bit forgettable to me

No Way is incredible; compared to some later albums, it's the sound of a band actually being loose and fun and letting go of some baggage; that middle breakdown is something you wouldn't have seen on earlier albums. But Sleight of Hand is top 10, maybe top 5. It's one of the strongest musical and lyrical statements the band ever did. As much as I wish they'd written more songs like this, maybe it's better that it's so singular in the catalog.

This shit feels rigged...

I have to go with Sleight of Hand. But I hope No Way wins.

I'm happy about this. RM knows what's up

Sleight of Hand is the ginger ale of pearl jam songs.

I like ginger ale
