It's the sleeper.

It's slightly better then Lightning Bolt too.

    Not a sleeper for me, I loved it first listen

    Won't possibly kill live, it will

    It's right there with Lightning Bolt, I'm going to give a slight edge to LB for now

    I agree with this whole post except for giving the slight edge to LB...this tune WILL kill live and is better than LB...there...I said it...it reminds me of GTF...it builds like a wave...and then crashes

    a repost of my own Swallowed Whole thread...

    Quickly...The Pete influence is STRONG, (think You better You better You bet...at the beginning...) and I frickin' dig it.

    That guitar solo, and the 2 "oh yeahs" in the bridge...Amazing.

    It's been on repeat for a while now...

    actually came to the forum this morning to post the same thing. I didnt get it at all until about 7 or 8 listens through the album. Finally this morning i connected with it. really hope to hear it live! Swallowed Whole & Yellow Moon are the first two sleepers for me personally so far ....that initially i didnt think much of but are quickly becoming my favorites.

    I love it, one of my favorites if not *the* favorite for me off of this album. It... you know, I have a hard time describing how songs sound to me, since I lack the musical knowledge that so many people on here seem to have. But, to me, this has an old-school, jangly, raw, feel to it, and I am partial to songs like that.

    I also think this will be an excellent song to run to. 8-)

    Agreed, love at first leak... listen! I mean, love at first listen! along with Let The Records Play... still feel the same about Getaway and Lightning Bolt, but Getaway is a great opener, this one will kill live! People will go nuts with Getaway and Swallowed Whole!

    Burned a non-PJ (but huge music fan) fan a copy of the stream for him to listen. This guy "loves Eddie Vedder" but just can't get into Pearl Jam for some reason...though he likes a lot of their albums. He is 63 years old by the way. Loves The Beatles and The Who, but is a huge music fan overall - dude is a genius when it comes to music history.

    He gave me his review tonight.

    "The album is solid, but the best song is track #8 - that is just a great song."

    Figured he would have really liked LTRP as he is a huge blues fan.

    That's saying something. I honestly don't see (hear) it yet. I like Swallowed Whole, but it's middle of the pack for me right now.

    I've listened to the album through a few times now and swallowed whole has been repeated close to 50 times! I don't know what it is but it sounds so familiar, as if it's been around for years. Very Who/REM-esque.

    I hope this becomes a staple at live shows too!

    After several listens to LB many of the songs are really growing on me, however from the first listen I thought Swallowed Whole was going to be one of those great live songs. The more I hear it the more it reinforces this. Many other songs should do well live too, but this was the first one that seemed obvious to me.

    A standout track for me, too. I agree with the into the Wild similarities, and that's what I like about it the most. It has a nice energy to it and it will probably become a fan singalong at upcoming/future shows.

    Well, this whole album is creeping up on me in so many different ways. For awhile, I didnt really like Father's Son, Yellow Moon, or Swallowed Whole. In fact, I really disliked Swallowed Whole. Now I fucking love it. Damn it, these songs are sneaky.

    The second half of Swallowed Whole is so badass the way the intensity grows ever-so-slightly.

    But unfortunately, I lose interest in Infallible very quickly now.
