    I think this song will be fantastic live. Seems like a great tune for the whole band to really get in to. A serious song, but upbeat. I can just picture Ed doing his thing and leaning back as the song grooves.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    and I dig it.
    This sums up exactly what I got from this. Cannot wait to hear the whole album...boys are super excited. Excited about sharing their new journey with us. I’m more than happy with that. When the band gets bored we won’t have PJ anymore, so just enjoy this ride!

    Definitely needs to be listened to on halfway decent headphones or speakers otherwise the drums and hit hat sound too tinny and prounounced

    Loving the evolution of their sound. Great start to the new album. Ed aggressive with the lyrics early on, the guitar and drum patterns, that ending! Very cool Stone played bass on this one.

    If they play it live there’s a great chance Stone keeps the bass on and Smile comes next...

    One interesting note. You can see track list on Apple Music. 3 songs with E next to it for explicit lyrics. Super blood, quick escape, 7 o’clock. Looks like some angry Ed coming !!

    Excellent song after 5 listens. Love how people will complain about no new music in 7+ years and now we get something the band wanted to do plus enjoys ... and here come the complaints. I'm not one to always get behind everything thing they (for the record) .. However, the fact they are putting out NEW music and touring is great. Sorry to those who wanted it to sound like the hits but come on!

    WEBN in Cincinnati premiered the song this morning - stopped the song about 30 seconds in and finished it off w a mix of Cannonball and Talking Heads. 

    Next song they played, Yellowledbetter. 

    Yikes.

    Love the song. Has a great Groove. First time I heard it, it sounded interesting but after 5 listens it clicks. Very impressed. Had no idea Stone is on bass and not Jeff.

    "I know the girls wanna dance
    Fall away their circumstance
    I know the boys wanna grow
    Their dicks, and fix and file things"

    Great lyrics

    It's different but I like it.  I absolutely didn't like the Fixer/Got Some/Just Breathe/Lightning Bolt when I first heard them so I'm excited to hear the rest.

    I can say that I am more excited about DOTC than I was about Mind your Manners when it was teased/released

    I did get a Cannonball vibe as well when I first heard it.

    Dang, it usually takes longer for this justification to show up.

    First time I'd ever heard a city's major rock radio station stop a premiere song 30 seconds in (while talking through the first part ripping it up).  Take a phone call from a listener destroying the song.  Then play Yellowledbetter right after. 

    That's brutal - especially in drive time after all this PR work the PJ team did.  That's rough.

    Surprisingly it is everything I feared but I love it.  This is not old music.  This is the current industry. Dance.  Everyone shifting to get younger people to listen.  I don’t think this will grab the young people but love that it is different for Pearl Jam.

    Beck, Killers, QOTSA, Weezer, etc....
