The played it DC101 around 9 am (world premiere) and the DJ (this annoying guy Elliot) at the end says "I really like it--I was expecting it to be downtrodden and angry" and his a sidekick (a chick) says 'Yea, it doesn't sound like Pearl Jam."

Great song! Elliot and Diane are not the biggest PJ fans but at least they played the song!!! Roche will be playing the hell out if it though!
Oh damn, the fixer is a great song. I didn't really like got some on conan and i was starting to think they might be past their creative peak. But the fixer has got me excited again. bravo boys!

listening to the fixer multiple times. not connecting with it much at first, suspect it will grow on me though as always. i think ill like it better live than studio. catchy, but not doing it for me...yet...lol. maybe too early in the morning.
I have a wife and children and I love Pearl Jam more than all of them. It's close between my middle child and the band but I think PJ wins because they've been in my life for 18 years now.

I assume you're joking with this post. You might want to throw in a smiley face so people don't think you're a huge douche. I know sarcasm when I see it, but on the boards everything looks serious. Good day to you, sir.
got some was a decent enough song, but pretty much consisted of ed singing "got some if you need it" in different notes/tones.
the fixer is pretty much ed singing "when something's gone...[different lyric]" ad nauseum.
sounds like a lot of time was spent on the lyrics :arrow:
at least before when lyrics were repeated over and over the music made up for it with a "punk" vibe with heavy guitars and a driving beat (habit comes to mind). instead we have generic lyrics backed with mid tempo lounge music.
and don't get me wrong, the music isn't necessarily the problem...but...i really, really hope the rest of the album has some lyrics that don't feel as though they were purchased at ALDI's for 57 cents.

I'm assuming by your witty emoticon, you don't agree with my assessment of the song.
Don't get me wrong, I have lived and breathed this band for the past 18 years, and will continue to do so until the day I die.
But it's not that this song was bad...it's that it was SO bad. My god, why didn't they make Got Some as the first single.
im ten guy,,so we are in the same page,see jeremy in mtv 92 and thats it.,,,i bet this song live in a show will be so so good..album like ten,will never be release again....ok,,got some is better,,,remind me a little of solat style..pj is the best live band,,

One question about this song - how come on the All Star game it had a heavier sound to it? The guitars sounded a bit thicker and richer on it and here they sound a little weaker. Is it a different mix?
Thanks EPOTTSIII!

In retrospect, I don't think an emoticon would have saved the joke. I forgot to add any form of humor before I posted it. Still, I don't think anybody really cares what I say anyway.

haha if look back in this whole thread, you'll find we all tried to transcribe the lyrics...around page 15 (maybe 16) you'll find the finished product...it's the one i posted...the lyrics are NOT the same in The Fixer, it's just a lot of repetition with the "o" vowel with gone, on, broke, low, etc

That joke is great! I'm a big fan of humor that makes fun of the people who take Pearl Jam way too seriously!

Great song! Elliot and Diane are not the biggest PJ fans but at least they played the song!!! Roche will be playing the hell out if it though!
stripped down and raw..
this means the new songs will sound even better and be more fleshed out live..
I think that's what happened witn the Riot Act tour..
I would put this in the same category as "Unemployable"
Very catchy song but no Matt thunder drums and no searing solo by Mikey..
They can't all be "Deep"..
keep 'em coming PJ!

I wonder if maybe they aren't so full of angst right now and writing from a happier place and that's why it's kind of bouncy sounding. *shrugs*
