    That really was hard! Not even sure if I'm okay with my rankings and I worked on it for ten minutes, lol.
    (I'm 100% sure about I'm Open though. It's the only song on the album that I actually don't really like. I just don't feel it - has an insincere or contrived tone for me.)


    Thankfully pjsoul seems to understand IMT's proper placement! Where's the love for my favorite song on my favorite album?!?!
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    X_X Really?
    Wow, just wow. :D
    Of course you sort of explain it in the post, but why don't you feel it?
    Insincere or contrived tone how so?
    Not to jump on you, but I am just very curious because it is so far from how I feel about the song.
    I just just don't feel it, lol. I mean, I don't sense the real feeling in Eddie's voice or intonations.. As though HE isn't really feeling it, and rather just doing a job of making it sound real. Like maybe he already did it a dozen times within an hour, and by the time a take suited them well enough for publication the words had lost all Meaning. It had just become a recitation and some acting... Like maybe Eddie couldn't retain the true emotion in the delivery like he does with songs sung as opposed to spoken word. The result kind of feels contrived and even pretentious to me, as though art is being forced. That's how the essence of it feels to me.

    I am glad some people like it though! :D

    I do understand what you mean. At least better than I did before.
    The diliverance of the words is somewhat robotic, but I think it has a purpose and it was done in purpose.
    I think it is meant to show how hopeless and lifeless that grown up actually is.
    It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

    Why so little love for I'm open?

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm Open is terrible or anything like that. The only reason why I ranked it low was because it is an unconventional "song", if you could even call it a song. I actually like it a lot, along with "I'm Still Here", I just don't know if it should've been on the album taking up a track.

    If I could choose, I would've had Mankind and I'm Open be B-Sides, while including "I've Got Shit" and "Long Road' onto No Code, as both of those songs would've fit perfectly on No Code.
    I 100% disagree. Those are not No Code-era songs in the truest sense. If anything you can substitute Black, Red and Yellow for one song...but that's about it.

    This is sad but true. We get so excited to grow up when we're young, only to discover its not all that it is cracked up to be.

    Thanks for all of the rankings guys, this is incredible. Long live No Code!

    Yes, there are certainly a few benefits I can think of, like being able to go to Pearl Jam shows without having to ask the parents for anything.
