Its interesting because sometimes I read the comments and think are you hearing the same thing as me but I guess its quite subjective. I dont think its brilliant or terrible just okay I guess. Theres nothing in it that makes me think "oh that
bits good" and I know its experimental in ways but it just sounds a bit all over the place. Not a fan of the production either, Im no expert but the whole thing was just a bit underwhelming for the lead track from the first album in 5 years.

Pearl Jam's new track from their forthcoming album on Monkeywrench/Republic Records is out now!
“Can’t Deny Me” was co-produced by Pearl Jam and Brendan O'Brien. The track was recorded in Seattle last month and released as a surprise early download to Ten Club members last Saturday.
Eddie wrote the song's lyrics set to music written by Mike. Jeff created the single's artwork in collaboration with PJ's longtime Videographer, Kevin Shuss.
“Can’t Deny Me” is available now in the SHOP and via all digital download and streaming services.
Pearl Jam kicks off their TOUR of South America in Santiago, Chile today.
Nothing about being the first single, only the "xmas single" and that is from the forthcoming album...

I agree with whoever said, I can see why people would love it and see why people would hate it. I can hear both sides. I will say I would like to hear it live for myself this summer.
For some reason it reminded me of Weezer's Hash Pipe. Anyone else hear that?

What do you mean funny, funny how? Are we funny?0 -
Listened to it many times for the hell of it. I would never have given this song a second chance if it was by any other band.
I still think it sucks. It's not interesting musically or lyrically and Ed's vocal performance is actually irritating. Here is some conjecture; most of you who like this song wouldn't like it if it was by another band. Most of you who like this song only like it because it's "anti-Trump" (I guess) and that excites you.0 -

I hope this wasn’t a rushed release? However I’ve got great faith in this band and the decisions they make. They just don’t always make the decisions we expect.
For what it’s worth I dont mind to the song but it may work better as a cohesive whole with other songs in an album. I wonder what track number it’ll be? I’m hoping it’s not track one. Probably two or three!?0 -

And I know I mentioned in a thread right when Can't Deny Me came out that I liked it, and after many, many listens I still do! I like the rawness, I like the energy. It has a little DIY, punk sound that keeps me coming back for more. I'll take this over runny cheese like Future Days every time."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please."

I liked it when I first heard it and thought while listening on an iPhone Cornell started singing in the song, but clearly after listening on a nice stereo it’s just Ed’s voice and its raw....I dug it at first and now after several times listening I really dig it....it’s raw as fuck!Cant buy what i want cause its free....0

First of of all I really like the off timey feel that the drums/guitar have in the verses, I know it’s not actually off time, it’s in 4/4, but it has that feeling where the notes just aren’t quite where you would anticipate them to be, something that Matt did a lot with Soundgarden’s common time songs. I think the riff in the verse is badass too. I think the chorus, although not the most original, is really catchy and I can’t get it out of my head.
My only real complaint is the melody in the verses, it just doesn’t really flow right with the music, and Eddie’s vocals seem a little too strained, but I liked it much much better live, like he wasn’t trying so hard.0 -
