Let's hope so! I'm sure it will do better than Gone. A lot of people put backspacer down, but then again they do this with every Pearl Jam album upon release. Once they hear the songs live they usually warm up to them. Personally I thought amongst the waves has one of the best Pearl Jam choruses I've heard in a while, the fixer too. So what if they are catchy, it's no more catchy than Yield, and that was a great album IMO.
Agreed. ATW has the most hooks of any Pearl Jam single in a long time. The general public usually eats this up.
The outro is what really shines on this song though. The vocal delivery after the guitar solo is spot on and makes you want to rock out. Definitely a highlight moment on the song and overall album.
Not that ATW is a bad song or anything -on paper this song should be a hit- but rock radio and the majority of people who listen to it, just have poor taste.
Rock Radio is no longer relevant or trustworthy source.They'd rather just sit back and ride the apple cart into the ground than create a playlist that truly reflects the best that music and culture have to offer.
How else do you explain the continual success of Nickelback???
I truly hate pointing this out but...Pearl Jam would never get played on the radio today if they were a newer band.

And we all know that.
