    Great tune. Rocks but is still more than a basic rocker.

    The Driven To Tears finally makes sense.

    Not only is it my favourite on the album, but one of my top 5 Pearl Jam songs, period. Everything about it is perfect for me.

    It wasn't one that jumped out at me at first. Probably took me about 8-9 listens before it finally dug its hooks into me. Now it's one of the songs I look forward to the most on the album. Which is a good sign for me of a quality song -- the ones that take a while to sink in are often songs that stick with me forever.

    In my top few for the album! After a couple if initial listens I wasn't sure, however there was something about it that resonated with me! Continues to impress and is a great rocking tune!

    IMO MFS is to LB what DTE is to Yield? A flat out grab you by the throat and slam you to the ground song. One of the best ever! It is a travesty that MFS and Getaway are not concert staples. Such a pity.

    I see mainly a trend that ties it up to Green Disease and to Force of Nature

    I understand taste is subjective, but I just don't get how everyone isn't going apeshit over this song! It just flat out rocks!

    It starts out very much like Soundgarden's Dusty.

    I always get confused for a few seconds when MFS comes up on my playlist

    I heard it's debut in Buffalo and have enjoyed it since.

    Best song on the record, IMO...I'm hoping (and optimistic) that they'll play it at one of the LA shows, which will be my only two of the tour.

    Great song, and I'm sure it rips even more live...

    I heard the exact same thing from the very first listen. I wonder if Matt C even realizes that at all. I bet he doesn't.
