Dude, NO ONE WANTS THAT.

I don't get it. This is such a common post around here. It's possible to dislike a new pearl jam song without longing for Ten part 2. Why don't people understand that?

I know, I have read your 300 posts today in every thread talking about how much you hate the song. I get you don't like it, I think you have made your point. And I was commenting on the "no Code" aspect mentioned in this thread.

broloco

you want them to make the same record, same songs over and over???

you say bubblegum. I say gatorade gum. shit is refreshing!~

I don't see how any of their music is "bubblegum". I couldn't see any of the Disney pop acts performing these songs, at least not without sounding completely out of their element.

But I'm not even talking about The Fixer and what I think about it. I'm talking about you people who tell people who don't like a new PJ recording to go listen to Ten. So when I like Got Some, I'm with the times but when I hate The Fixer I'm living in the past?

At this point I can only guess what direction the band is going in, but to me it seems like they go through eras with similar feels.

Ten-Vs-Vitalogy

[Vitalogy] No Code- Yield

Binaural-Riot Act

S/T-Backspacer

First listen of The Fixer I wasn't impressed at all, but I wasn't with most of this band's catalog either. What made this band one of my favorites is a lot of the hidden, hard to hear stuff happening that you don't catch on your first listen. And The Fixer has some stuff going on I didn't catch on first listen that I now like.

Don't go to the shows which will be in support of the album that this is the first single off of. When a lot of people are digging this while PJ is playing this on tour you can sit for the track and text someone about how much cooler PJ was before the mighty fixer.

what an original and intelligent response..you should be 10c President!you're so right though...not liking one song means i should stay home...wait! they may play evacuation too! fuck! now i'm really staying home! :roll:

guess what...i'll be in Philly for every show that goes down...maybe fixer will be my piss break song.

Dude, I'm not trying to be a jerk I swear, but how is going back and recording music like they already recorded "forward progression?"

i'm sorry...i meant no code-esque..as in groundbreaking for it's time..doing the same thing again..breaking ground again...not making the same music!

And I was commenting on the usual "I want No Code again" as mentioned earlier in this thread- congrats on one positive thing today though

You know the albums going to be good when it creates such a divide in the fanbase.

This is a love/hate song it appears.

I think that poster's comment was misunderstood. He said "I was expecting more forward progression..more No Code type" which I took to mean that he was hoping for a jump in style from Avocado to Backspacer as there was from Vitalogy to No Code.

Hey, it's the only positive thing I had to say about the song. god you sound like such a tool sarcastically saying "congrats" like that.

I don't....that's why i was a fan to begin with!!....i like shit with layers/depth...i hear Fixer and i feel like they are chasing the top 40.....I'm not totally bashing it but it's just...no right...don't feel like PJ to me either...sounds like an Eddie Money song to me, music wise...this is the same band that gave us immortality?...sorry but at this stage in their careers i was expecting more forward progression..more No Code type..progressive, groundbreaking deep shit...it's like they are regressing with this song! I mean Bigwave was the same almost...but at least Ed surfs ...whatever....i like Got some....can't wait to see what the rest of the album has to offer.

all i know is mad people seem to be really into it and yet Binaural gets no love..not like it should...so maybe I'm just a different breed.

more forward progression like no code? Isnt that going backwards in time?

I think it takes guts to put out a song like this........they are taking their music where they want to, and i like it.

I think they are breaking new ground w/ this song............it has some very creative and unique aspects to it, as long as you get over the "omg its pop factor"

Relax.. three of their best slower songs EVER will be on this album. Speed Of Sound/ Unknown Thought and The End.

I can vouch for that - agreed!

You better be a quick hand with the zipper, cos it's a pretty short song.

LikeAnOpeningBandForTheSun

ATTENTION GENIUSES: people dont mean they want another No Code, they want another game changer like No Code happened to be (not that i agree completely with that. dont change just for change sake). This is Avocado part 2! stop with the knee-jerk crybaby responses already. Stop being so crushed that not everyone likes your precious song. Stop with the "go put on your flannel and listen to Jeremy" cries (because everyone knows Ten fans aren't real PJ fans!). It makes you sound like a whiner.

please im trying to help you.
