  • I'm stunned. You actually all like it?!

    To me, it is, by a big margin, the worst, song on any Pearl Jam album. I've been listening to it over & over to try to find something likable about it. But I can't - it's bland, overwrought and thoroughly pedestrian. It sounds like it could be a cast-off from the Top Gun soundtrack. It's the first time that I've ever felt - in 18 years of listening to this band - that they've made a song I really never want to hear again.

    I actually feel bad for you not being able to hear the beauty of it ...
    need any helpon this?? ;)
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    I absolutely love this song...to me it sounds comparable to Marker In the Sand...which I also love

    Two great songs, you must have similar tastes in their music to me, cos I love these too as well! ;)
  • I agree guys, great track amoung a really unique record. My first impression of the whole album is that it reflects Ed's genius from Into the Wild in tracks like Just Breathe, unthought known, speed of sound and the end. Force of nature departs from this, but of course it does because Mike laid the ground work for it. I am really excited to put on headphones and absorb this record over time. We will all have our own opinions, no one is right or wrong, we are just human beings, but I know we all share one thing and it's our appreciation for this band. I also am so impressed with their philanthropy. They continue to give so much to others. In the days of high ticket prices, a down economy and terrible music, Pearl Jam rises above and gives us amazing music and a piece of their pie for those who need it. Thanks PJ, withou you I would be listening to.... Nothing.
  • I can't help but envision a rocky type montage every time i hear this song. It kills it for me. The rest of the album is great but i'm not feeling force of nature

    I think Unthought Known is the best song
