ok i tried not to write about this song and just let it be - but the youtube preview has me so moved and re-thinking everything about the last couple of albums - here is what i realized: i still enjoy and love avocado, and the other past three albums but no song since 'yield' has really made me leave the earth in my mind in an energetic flash entirely on its own accord like this one promises too. i guess over the years i know how to listen to a pearl jam song and sort of adopt it ....but this one just takes over like 'in hiding' or 'faithful' -

when the recent german magazine article preview review said about 'amongst the waves': " finally a song that pushes in all directions" i think that was dead on...." - i think he/she meant "finally"on the backspacer album but, too me i now think it means finally affter many years....if this song has the life it does in the short clip then i think it will be in my top 2 or 3 all time pj catalogue. i admitt the only problem with this song is that it takes three songs that i already enjoy "got some", "fixer" and "Speed of sound" and it kind of eclipses them .....imo. i hope that doesnt sound negative - i think the album will be great - but please make this one the next single - the radio world could really use such a potentially defining song....

    bloody excellent 15 seconds. best song i've heard of the new album so far.

    Can't argue with any of this. Let's just hope that this song lives up to our high expectations.
