They are both worthy of a vote this round (and last round).

I love Pearl Jam.  I even love the songs I don't really like because I love what this band is.
That being said it is tough to gather love for a handful of songs....parachutes....bee girl....and Yellow Moon.  
I will not go to the bathroom or get food.  I paid for the show and I love this band....but I really don't get this song.  I'll vote for it every time

Do you ever look at the moon? 
The lyrics are solid, the riff is tight and unique...good song!

Yes, I love the moon.  Hey, they have so many songs and I love almost every one.  Has to be one that pops up once in a while that is tough to love.  I still like it, it is Pearl Jam, they like it....and I will cheer for it at a show.
(And I like it more than Parachutes or....gah.....Bee Girl.)

Swallowed Whole

My actual vote is future days, but I know it's gone, so Swallowed Whole should be gone next

I hope Yellow Moon at least makes it through this round! I love it!! 

LtRP eliminated...interesting, didn't realise the lack of support for this song. 

Yellow Moon might be my favorite off this album....My Father's close behind

Sirens

I've seen people talking about certain lyrics in certain songs being dumb, but NOTHING tops the cake like this line from Sirens:

"Let me catch my breath to breathe...."

I have a soft spot for Yellow Moon. Ed has told us multiple times now how they were in the studio recording it when news of the Boston Marathon bombing broke. Both in Worcester in 2013 and at Fenway we heard that. I liked Yellow Moon when I first heard it but knowing what was going on when it was recorded gives the song a little extra weight.

Agreed, minus the Bee Girl part.

Yellow Moon is a saving grace on the last half of the album. Good song. Like the mood and tone of it a lot. If only SBM wasn't jumbled in there with Future Days the end of this album wouldn't putter out.

I plan ahead to make sure that I see the full show too.
Nothing worse than someone leaving during a song to get something to eat.
Holding it in until the much needed encore break is always welcome.
Just don't be late to the first song of the encore.

It is a three hour show.  You can miss a song or two to get some food, beverage or use the bathroom.  Why stand their being uncomfortable, hungry or thirsty when it only takes a couple minutes to do your thing and can hear the music from the concession stand anyway?

Everyone is different I guess. I can't stand missing a second of the show, so I am strategic how I go about the whole evening so those situations dont arise. I paid for the show so no way I am missing any of it. And I had never actually seen someone eat at a concert until I saw a guy snacking on popcorn throughout a show once. I equate food consumption with a laid back atmosphere like a movie or something, not so much an up beat concert, so I will always find that strange honestly. 

I've noticed in my neck of the woods that popcorn at concerts has become increasingly normal. which I also find odd.

who in the world voted getaway? oh i see 

at least people have pendulum right

Mind Your Manners

I wasted my strategic vote, should have gone with Infallible.

Come on, someone save Yellow Moon or Swallowed Whole!!
Infallible is great, but it's pretty poppy, and it just doesn't have as much originality as those two.
Is pretty catchy and fun to listen to though.


This album is good.

A tight race indeed for that third elimination spot.
Once you get rid of the three that went in round 1 and the two current leaders this round, the songs aren't that bad.

That intro just sounds too much like an eighties power ballad to me.

If I eat at a concert it is to mitigate the effects of alcohol.   I like a good buzz but not more than that.

But to me it is silly to stop drinking anything a few hours before a show so you don't have take a 4 minute break to use the bathroom.  I might do that for a festival where it is tough to get to or from your spot, but if you have a ticketed seat, you could probably get to and from the bathroom and miss only part of a song.  A three hour PJ is pushing it for me anyway.  My attention span isn't what it used to be.

HAHA! I was on the rail years ago for a U2 concert and I had to go from about the 5th song on. I was literally considering pissing in a bottle or just going right there in front of Bono. That was a horrible feeling. That show ended and I ran to the bathroom.

Surprised to see not a single vote for Pendulum yet this round.  Figured people would vote for it just out of show-opening tedium.  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's staying. Just surprised not one vote.

And didn't it have a few votes last round? You'd think they'd carry over.

I love both Sirens and Future Days, despite their cheesiness, I voted for Future days, because is the weakest link of the whole album, imo, I can't believe My father's son is already gone...
