Can't Keep by a mile.

Gone

wasted reprise is a nice reprise, and fits well on the album, but it's not a fully realized song.

I do like the studio gone track, and always thought the chorus is a fairly powerful juxtaposition against the verses, but it's not a top tier song. I think it's a great example of what I hope Watt will bring to Dark Matter - rather than bringing in a fully realized Gone that the other band members have to find a way to fit into, leaving the whole composition feeling slightly underdeveloped, they'll build off an idea together and we will end up with much fuller and richer songs.

Can't Keep is probably a great example of this. Eddie's version is so simple, but they all piled on their layers into something pretty special. My second favorite song on Riot Act

I am a Gone apologist, but Can’t Keep is top shelf Pearl Jam.

Can’t Keep is great. I’ve had a soft spot for Gone, ever since I heard the demo.

I'm happy about this total onslaught

Can't Keep advances pretty handily
