    It seems to be a return to their roots, with a bit of old rock feel...I love it. Vintage PJ...reminds me of the Vitalogy CD.

    OK, here's my opinion of the track (not that anyone's bothered...!)

    - awesome build-up intro
    - huge, spacey production. nice.
    - sounds like it could have been off Vitalogy, but feels more positive / upbeat
    - very Who-like
    - deep lyrics without being condescending
    - anti b*sh without being bushleaguer (which I thought was a waste of an album track)
    - Eddie's voice is back on form after his mumbling on RA & I love Stone's backing vox

    all in all 7.5 out of Ten (impressed but could do better)

    I think WWS is a serious letdown. I almost want to say it sucks balls. I had such high hopes for this new album... now I find myself wishing Al Gore was elected prez. 6 years ago so we wouldn't have to hear all the political bullshit in the lyrics and PJ could finally rock again.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    Hint of maybe pearl jam getting back to their best, feels a more free flowing sound lets hope the album follows suit.

    Stones background vocals and the guitar riffs rock in this song.

    "W W Suicide" is yet another mediocre (at best) Pearl Jam single... WTF happened to my favorite band??!! I realize beauty is in the eye/ear of the beholder but I'm amazed then anyone can be excited about this song. I think the B-Side "Unemployable" is much better but still just an average PJ track. My guess is that this new album will be like their last few - a couple great tracks, a couple good ones and a lot of filler... Very sad...

    Man I just don't dig it that much. Very mediocre for PJ. I heard Gone in Jersey and that was fair at best. Sorry for the reality fella's..

    Could someone post the lyrics so we can analyze the poetic/lyric meat of the matter?

    I always have to get used to new PJ stuff, not really liking it at first. I like WWS fine already though, so it might turn out great :D

    I liked it. It sounds like vintage Pearl Jam....vintage "No Code" to "Riot Act" era PJ tunes, that is.

    For what it is worth, it was the effort of finding that single online that had me finally stumble on the new and improved Pearl Jam homepage and this Message Pit.

    [EDIT TO ADD] For the fan that wanted the lyrics for the song posted, they are the following:

    World Wide Suicide

    "I felt the earth on Monday
    It moved beneath my feet
    In the form of a morning paper
    Laid out for me to see
    Saw his face in a color picture
    I recognized the name
    Could not stop staring at the
    Face I’d never see again

    It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
    What does it mean when
    the war is taking over?
    It’s the same every day
    I heard my name
    Why can’t they say that
    The world be left to hold her

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    Medals on a wooden mantle
    Next to a handsome face
    That the President took for granted
    Writing checks that others pay
    And in all the madness
    Thought becomes numb and naive
    So much to talk about
    And nothing for us to say

    It’s the same every day
    And the wave won’t break
    Tell you to pray while
    the devil’s on his shoulder
    Laying claims to the tainted soldier said
    I’m not a quitting
    The truth’s already out there

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    Looking in the eyes of the fallen
    You’ve got to know there’s another
    Another
    Another
    Another
    Another

    waaaaayyyyyyyyyyy

    It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
    What does it mean when
    the war is taking over
    It’s the same every day
    And the wave won’t break
    Tell you to pray while
    the devil’s on his shoulder

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suicide

    The whole world
    World over
    It’s World Wide Suiciiiiiiiiiide"

    Am I missing the spot to download WWS? Is it still here at this site, or do I need to look elsewhere?

    If anyone is viewing and could reply quickly, I would appreciate it!
