Mrs. Mills vs Unemployable

[stip]

I love Mrs. Mills. he does a great job paying homage to the spirit of some of his muses without simply aping them. Great song.

Unemployable has never worked for me. I just don't like when Eddie has this 'shiny' affectation on his vocals, and the oh oh oh ohs don't work here. The song isn't poppy enough to hold it, and there's space for wordless vocalizations there, but they need to be a bit darker. I think they're trying to split the difference (like someone is trying to convince themselves that everything is fine when it isn't), but it doesn't quite get there.

Unemployable.

[4/5]

I adore Mrs. Mills. It's pure joy.

[stip]

damn right!

[Monkey_Driven]

I really like both songs.

[epilogue]

Both cool songs, for sure.

Unemployable really hits for me, though. Gets my vote here.

[Birds in Hell]

This is already far too close to comfort.

Unemployable, obviously. One of the band's best songs from the second part of their career.

I would love a version of Mrs. Mills with 98-02 Ed singing it.

You get me. You really get me

That Unemployable verse riff is one of my favourite riffs in the Pearl Jam catalog
