exactly... they've been on a downward spiral since Absolution. first 2 albums are still my favorite. they sound like a nu-metal-esque version of Queen instead of like Bends-era Radiohead like when they started out.
black holes and revelations is my favorite album from them! they intentionally wanted to distance themselves from radiohead as matt has repeatedly stated in many interviews
anyways...enough about muse! thanks ben for setting this off-topic lol
My pleasure

Sometimes its very helpful to know what other people see as current good music so I can ignore future comments. Not completely trying to be a jerk, but come'on Muse!? Gaslight Anthem!?
PSA: There are other bands out there besides Pearl Jam. Also, people have different opinions on certain types of music.
My 2 thoughts:
1. I think it is great. Reminds of Big Wave or a Creedence song.
2. It hardly sounds like Ed singing.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

I hear ya (I like plenty of other music) but I would not trust the musical opinion of anyone who puts bands like Muse and Gaslight Anthem in the same ballpark as pearl jam. Therefore, I don't value your opinion on Supersonic. Just the way it is.

Really? As long as I knew someone was open-minded about their music, I'd value their opinion.. unless they told me they're a big Spice Girls fan.

And what do you listen to, oh final arbiter of all good music whose tastes are unquestionable? No need to try when it comes so naturally.

Pray tell, where did I put them in the same ballpark? I said Muse rocks in an anthemic way like PJ used to, until they kept trying to sound like Gaslight Anthem, who are good in a mindless sort of way. PJ's recent output doesn't even have that going for it.
So, Mr. Cool, how about you put your favorite bands out there so we can all rip them apart and use them to dismiss your thoughts from now on... or do you find it much easier to take potshots at others without ever having to put your own tastes out there to be subjected to the same kind of criticism?
It's not my thing yet.. sounds like a bubblegum pop song with Eddie instead of Miley Cyrus to me. I'm sure in due time, and once I've heard the whole thing, that'll change though!
Are you serious????
First thought to enter my mind was the Ramones, or Buzzcocks..
i see this song as being played during an interlude on "The Hills" or some other high quality television show like that. that sounds pretty horrific...
If I didn't know any better, I would think it was a Ramones cover..
What is wrong with you people? Pearl Jam writes a few upbeat happy songs and they get compared to crap? This is totally 80s punk sounding!

so you think pearl jam is better...no reason to stomp on muse. they are an incredibly talented band who put on unparalleled live performances.

Unparalleled? If I recall correctly, you refuse to go see Phish play.. maybe you should give them a chance before you use the word 'unparalleled'.

Phish is garbage noise... they should have remained broken up. Phish.... puh puh puh PLEASE!
You know - that's what I said before I was dragged along to a show with some friends. Walked in there with a frown on my face, grumpy, determined to hate every moment of it, with my arms cross, so that I'd walk out of there and say "don't you dare put that crap on in front of me again!". How wrong I was. This is a live band. Their lyrics are crap, their vocals are crap, but their shows are brilliant.

brilliant. again very upbeat and fun. well pleased.
...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.
I don't get the "bubblegum pop" comment. Have you actually heard any bubblegum pop?
Opinions sure can be jarring.
Considering I'm nineteen, live at home, and have three social younger siblings, yes, I've heard much bubblegum pop. Though I wish I hadn't! In any case, I did say that I'm going to reserve judgment for the whole song, and if it's anything like the Fixer, it will be something acquired for me.

It's just a short, fun hard rock song. There's always a couple on every album.

Would you consider the Ramones, Buzzcocks, or Social Distortion "bubble gum" pop??? Because to me thats what this sounds like, and it kicks ass!
You're only 19.. my musical tastes were skewed at that age.. don't mix happy and upbeat with crap.
