    It has shades of You Are and Bushleaguer that I like, but that fucking synthesizer fucking ruins it.


    That synth is this video rolled into one thing. It sticks out. Haha.

    AND THEN WE THROW IN SOME RANDOM JEFF SYNTH

    All the people keep saying they hear Bowie and Talking Heads and whoever else. I can hear a little of those, but I also hear Pearl Jam.
    I hear Pearl Jam not doing the same thing over again with the radio hits the "casual" fans like. I hear Pearl Jam experimenting.
    I hear a song for the true hardcore fans. I hear a song the people who say they haven't done anything good since the 90's will once again bash and hate.
    I love it.

    Felt like a talking heads song.    
    Winner.

    wow
    i texted a friend before coming here and seems like we are all saying some of the same things
    “sounds like 80s era Pete Townshend trying to sound like talking heads/peter Gabriel/roxy music” was my one listen take. 

    I’m not sure if it’s a bad thing or not, and I certainly appreciate the different approach, excited to hear the entire album!

    It’s weird AF and what they needed to do.  No more “Pearl Jam by numbers” albums please

    Thought this wouldn't be my style, but it's hauntingly gripping.  I like it a lot. With CDM I listened a few times and liked it but just didn't go back to it. I can't stop listening to this song.
    In addition to Pearl Jam, I love the Clash and I wonder if Gigaton is going to be their Sandinista... except not a triple album of course.

    Not sure what your point is.  Showing influence from those bands is not a slight.  It’s a compliment and says the rest of what you’re arguing.

    It seems, at least for some, that this is not for you ;)

    I'm guessing those not so thrilled are either not TH or Bowie fans, or don't like their jam mixed with stardust and heads.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Listened to it a few times last night and a couple more this morning. It has some elements that I like, but overall, I really don't care for it. Glad most people seem to dig it though.

    Can I just say, it’s nice to have a song that is a little out there and sounds nothing like anything on the last two songs. Really mixed it up with this one. Ed’s vocal delivery is different than most anything ive heard from him. The lyrics are Riot Act era, very different from the last two abums that had very on the nose lyrics

    Never said it was a slight. Also not making an argument. 
    Everyones initial reaction is Talking Heads and Bowie and a few others. Great.
    It's still Pearl Jam

    I like it overall.  Some good lyrics and a catchy little synth rift, along with a cool bridge.  

    At times, I feel like I am listening to Eddie Vedder in 1988 playing with his Casio.

    Off the bat, not one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs, but enjoyable nonetheless.

    I hope this is their, "Endless Wire," album.  If there's even one track that grabs me like, "In The Ether;" I'll be happy.

    KATE FUCKING BUSH

    also, not to be a snob, but it seems like those who are shitting on it just don’t understand it (judging by what they think it sounds like).

    I’d happily take anyone’s tickets that decides they don’t want to go after hearing this ;)

    I heard Arcade Fire initially.

    Loving the drums and Stone's bass is killer!!  

    Also love the hook and the line "so save your predictions."  

    Love the band growing even now when they easily could have been doing the same things 
    Go Get 'Em Tigers!

    I love it! I’m honestly kinda picking up a little Eminence Front vibe, myself...
    Eminence Front. Good call.
