I love it. The thing is that I actually hated it when it first came out. Declared it Pearl Jam's worst song ever. That's hilarious to me now in hindsight considering the last two records. The competition has gotten quite stiff for that designation.
I really like the complexity of the song, the tone of the guitars and drums and the screaming vocals at the end.
Without doubt, one of the worst songs Pearl Jam has recorded or played live! You put it out there, that's my opinion. Like a nail driven in my earhole with a jackhammer. Love Matt all you want, this song suck's!
for the record, I don't know if anyone loves it just because it's a Matt song. I mean, I know Ed has a man-crush on Matt, but I don't think the rest of us do. LOL
Man crush
I asked Matt to play a solo to evac in Detroit last year but my thread didn't get any love compared to the BR&Y thread - but throughly enjoyed BR&Y!
Oh please let it rain today.
Those that can be trusted can change their mind.
I really dig Evacuation! Not sure how many debates I have had about this song with people, lol. I know a lot of people hate it, especially because of the chorus, but I think it's super cool! Kind of quirky but hard rock too, which isn't a very usual combo.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I have little love for Binaural and the first three songs are the worst.

God s dice is pretty damn bad. Breaker fall is ok, pretty cool live but a tad on the cheesy side. I can say nothing wrong about grievance or parting ways.
I see no cheese anywhere near breakerfall. Sirens? oh yeah. Amongst the waves? Ugh. So cheesy it makes me want to never eat pizza again.
