Inside Job is a fine musical achievement for Pearl Jam. It has got to be one of their top 5 songs. Love how the songs builds. Mike did a great job with the lyrics. This song shows how good Pearl Jam is. This is not something easy to play either guys. Great song.

    I loved how in the MSG II 08 boot, Mike fucks up in the beginning of the song and comes on the mic and says "I fucked up. I wrote the song and I still fucked it up." Classic moment.

    a friend had a leaked copy of avocado on their mp3 player and they played this song for me first. so, this song was the first song i heard off avocado. saying that it REALLY freaked me, out would be an understatement ;)

    not the best song on the cd, but, still a damn fine song, with a hellofa cool intro

    I stand corrected. Sorry about that. I just heard the boot over the weekend and when I read the post about Mike writing Inside Job, I thought about that and got the song confused. Good looking out.

    Intro of it is amazing. Best song off of avocado by far.

    This became one of my favorite PJ songs over the summer. It was one of those songs you have on loop forever ;)

    The music and lyrics fit so well and the build-up is just so good. Also perfect final track.

    Agreed. It took me a while to get into it, but once I was hooked I was HOOKED. Great song, very emotional, one of the most powerful moments in any PJ song when Eddie sings: "Holding on / The light of night / On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul...Again...".

    that is an awesome part! one of my favorites, along with
    "life comes from within my/your heart and desire" along with the wailing he does at the end. its so orgasmic..

    The opening build up for Inside Job makes me think a little of the build up for Dogs by Pink Floyd.

    ...When you say "even parachutes" is sounds like you are defending parachutes as if folks think its a bad song? Is that how folks feel.

    I love that song. Music is great. Lyrics could be better.
