Let's relax for a moment. We pay 40 bucks a year. For a music band's fan club. This is not a Country Club Membership. This isn't season tickets to a sporting event. It's literally 40 bucks a year. Its the right to purchase tickets ahead of the crowd, a record, and a special gift. I mean, Pearl Jam isn't going to go into the studio to record stuff exclusively for 10c fans every year. Sometimes, its a cool bootleg. Sometimes, its a cover song. Sometimes, its some ranting and raving, etc. This time, its the first single off the new album, on record, along with an unnamed b-side.
We just got news that not only did they drop a song unexpectedly, they also have a forthcoming album, and are starting their tour tonight. This also likely means that more shows will be on the way (Late this year, early next year) in support of the album.
I get it, some people like the song, some don't. It's totally ok to not like it, or whatever. But the amount of whining is getting out of control.
It's not like 10C members are the only ones that get to hear the 10C songs. Lost Dogs was a release of a bunch of songs, some of which were previously 10C only. Besides that...they are REALLY painfully easy to find on the internet.

And now you want me to breathe...
And be so grateful...
Ahhhhh, for the air that I need (haha)...
Don't make me pitiful...
And in the morning light...
We're just the same you and me...
Out on the go, send officials...
Our propensity to breed...
The higher, the farther, the faster you fly...
You may be rich, but you can't deny me...
Got nothing, got nothing but the will to survive...
You can't control, and you can't deny me...
Your lies are sick...
They're sick and they're vile...
You can't deny me...
Try and talk down to me...
My mind it ain't so simple...
Where's your vocabulary?..
Your ignorance is sinful...
You plant your lying seeds...
Watch as the roots take hold...
The country you are now poisoning...
Condition critical...
The higher, the farther, the faster you fly...
I know it's true, and you can't deny me...
Got nothing, got nothing, you got nothing to hide...
Little bullshit whore, and you can't deny me...
The higher, the farther, the faster you fly...
It's all so sick, and you can't deny me...
You can't deny me...
You can't deny me...
You don't defy me...
You can't deny me...
The higher, the farther, the faster you fly...
You know you're sick, and you can't deny me...
Got nothing, just nothing, you got something to hide...
We see right through you, and you can't deny me...
Darkness, darkness, darkness and light...
You can't deny me...

These lyrics aren't very good.
I like the part about the little bullshit whore, and the sinful ignorance, and the roots taking hold (unfortunately)... but I dunno.... overall, these are kind of meh lyrics. Plus, I'm not quite sure what is supposed to be getting denied. Does he mean that Trump can't deny what's being said about him? Or is Trump supposed to be denying him/us/whoever of something? If so, what? Just basic common sense, or...?

I've given it a few days and many listens. I like a lot of what's going on in the song. The guitar sounds and drum sounds are good, but it sounds pieced together and forced in parts. Can't really get into it.0

I think the message conveyed in the song is pretty straightforward: Anyone can't deny that the condition of our planet today is really critical.

The 40 bucks, imo, is for the right to get tickets first. I get a record and t-shirt too? Thats gravy.

I'm not seeing benefits being eroded.

I'm not seeing benefits being eroded.). I do think the benefits are being somewhat eroded by making the annual single a non-exclusive release that can be bought for $0.99 on iTunes; from an objective point of view, I don't think that can be denied, technically. That you think the analog membership is still a good deal without that promise of an exclusive annual single included in the membership fee (or without it being provided within the membership year at all) is really neither here nor there.

By planet, I don't mean only ecologically. I think that one could even imply that aspect too. I, for sure, do. I understand that is specifically directed to Trump and the US, but the things described are happening everywhere. I guess we could call it a universal song. In my opinion, it's like Eddie talking to somebody, or even directly to Trump. That's why he uses the first person pronoun "me" (objective case).

Right, but at this point, we are basically talking about 1 99 cent song. The b-side will be "exclusive" ....whatever exclusive means in the internet age anyway.
Like i said before, none of the 10c songs are actually exclusive. The very fact we get a digital download at all is gravy. We used to just get the vinyls, and people complained that they had no way to listen to it.
Turn this anger into

For a music band's fan club. This is not a Country Club Membership. This isn't season tickets to a sporting event. It's literally 40 bucks a year. Its the right to purchase tickets ahead of the crowd, a record, and a special gift. I mean, Pearl Jam isn't going to go into the studio to record stuff exclusively for 10c fans every year. Sometimes, its a cool bootleg. Sometimes, its a cover song. Sometimes, its some ranting and raving, etc. This time, its the first single off the new album, on record, along with an unnamed b-side.
We just got news that not only did they drop a song unexpectedly, they also have a forthcoming album, and are starting their tour tonight. This also likely means that more shows will be on the way (Late this year, early next year) in support of the album.
I get it, some people like the song, some don't. It's totally ok to not like it, or whatever. But the amount of whining is getting out of control.
It's not like 10C members are the only ones that get to hear the 10C songs. Lost Dogs was a release of a bunch of songs, some of which were previously 10C only. Besides that...they are REALLY painfully easy to find on the internet.
is it a massive deal? no. but all these little deals keep adding up.
The 40 bucks, imo, is for the right to get tickets first. I get a record and t-shirt too? Thats gravy.
If they gave me a colored vinyl with Jeremy and Even Flow right now, I could not care less. I still get the rights to purchase tickets first, and a tshirt. And usually some other stuff. Like members only exclusive items. Oh and the deep mag.
I'm not seeing benefits being eroded.). I do think the benefits are being somewhat eroded by making the annual single a non-exclusive release that can be bought for $0.99 on iTunes; from an objective point of view, I don't think that can be denied, technically. That you think the analog membership is still a good deal without that promise of an exclusive annual single included in the membership fee (or without it being provided within the membership year at all) is really neither here nor there.
Does any other band have a $40 membership fee? This is the only band I pay to be a member of, I've joined other because many are free. I have to believe $40 has got to be the most expensive membership out there. I wouldn't agree with you if it was $5 a year. But for $40, Yeah, you're right, there should be more thought and something exclusive as promised.
Even just considering analog at $20, that's still pretty steep for a fanclub, and then to make your annual single the same thing that is $1 online?0
