    I have a friend who's not a big PJ fan but when he heard them play Unthought Known at ACL he was blown away. He bought Backspacer the next day.

    Unthought Known is a very average song, so I could definitely see it having mainstream success.

    I sure don't agree. Nowadays, even a Led Zeppelin reunion single would be lucky to sell 500,000 copies.

    I don't think pj will have an album go platinum ever again and i'm okay with that. I sure don't think unthought known will propel them back into the masses minds.

    Just breathe is probably the best chance they got for a single catching fire in my opinion

    Not really. The lyrics are like something that would be found in an Incubus song and musically it's the most repetitive thing they've ever done, and that's not taking into account that it's pretty similar to LBC.

    I agree completely. I don't think Unthought Known will do anything special on the air waves. I absolutely love the song. It slaps me right in the face and really moves me but lets face it, its a somewhat deep song. It touches deep down where 90% of people don't ever get out of music so I think only a rare group will understand and love the song. That group would be Pearl Jam fans.

    Most people are about as deep as a puddle and wouldn't even understand the song. The song will be huge in 20 years though when so many of PJ's song are understood not only by just us, but everyone!

    the novelty wore off for me. LOVED it when it first came out, but didn't stand up against the test of time.

    I can't believe PJ fans differ in opinon? Ha ha. It's funny how a song can mean so much to some and very little to other's, who must have some songs they agree on. As fans of this band I mean, we all have our fave songs, but sometimes such different opinions on what is 'THE PJ song.' Whether it's of all time, on each album, b-side and so on and so on. I had a similar debate with people in 2000 over Sleight of Hand. Some people LOVED it, I thought it was nothing special. Opinions are a very personal thing and probably should be kept to themselves. Look at what happened to that Vito dude when he voiced his distaste for the new songs. That got out of control. But there's just something about us that makes us want to talk about all things PJ. I guess as long as we can all agree to disagree. On some subjects anyway, one I'm sure we ALL agree on, Pearl Jam are the greatest rock and roll band of all time!!!!
    Bring it on!
