PJ is taking itself too seriously. I'm guessing they listened to the Beatle's White album, dropped some acid and then wrote and performed this song. It is self indulgent and over produced. Go back to the basics boys. That is what got you here. All of the PJ fans falling all over themselves is to be expected. But what do you expect from a bunch of lemmings. Let's hope the rest of the album does not follow suit with the waste of time that is DofC.
Aww, someone didn't get tickets :(
Seems odd to me that people can express how much they like DofC but get scrutinized and ridiculed for not liking it. Personally, I think it's ok, not bad, not great, just an avg song. I'll admit, after this much time off between albums and everything that's happened between then and now, I was expecting something better, my fault I guess. Personally, I think some people on here are just hyped up for something new, just because it's new doesn't mean it has to be awesome but to each their own.

What songs from Talking Heads and Bowie do people hear or relate to? Would like to check them out.
I'm hearing Bowie's Ashes To Ashes in the outro vocals. Specifically the "My mother said, to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom" part....
Nice. Cool to play these songs after hearing Dance.

I would hardly say you not digging it = DOTC being a waste of time! Especially considering how widely liked it has been
I am sensing a trend here where some are inable to merely just say "the song isn't for me" lol

There's some PJ songs I don't like. I was seriously on the fence about new material after "Can't Deny Me". For me, DotC is a pleasant surprise and just gets better the more I listen to it. I'm happy they took their time, pushed themselves creatively and am sure Gigaton will be a " plethora of delights, a fruit salad compote of delights" for every type of PJ fan. I respect people's opinions that don't like it, but there have been some trollish comments about it.

It is totally expected for a song having such a different style to have its fair share of people who may not like the sound of it
However for example that poster above calling the song "a waste of time", and basically calling the vast majority of PJ who like it "a bunch of lemmings" before making a second post writing digs at the song again - reveal to me that the person is not really interested in a good faith discussion and sharing different opinions
This is a great place to start for the Talking Heads. Considered to be one of the best concert films of all time.
I was blown away the first time I saw this. That's when I really became a fan. Really just discovered TH in the last 3 years. Seems there's always good music out there waiting for you to find it, even if it has been 30 years.

I haven't really seen that. The people being ridiculed are either being jerks about it or are crusading against it with post after post. If someone posts a thoughtful critique, they're not going to get jumped on.

Can you understand the strong dislike? Pearl Jam was a bold answer to ALOT of this type of music that polluted FM radio in the 80s.
If you wanted guitar rock, what was the choice. REM? U2? Fine bands but not really much on the power chord.
Even metal bands were whimpy in the 80s. Except Metallica. But they really weren’t on the radio in the 80s.
Ah Bowie just came on the radio. Sounds nothing like DotC. Sarcastic comment deleted.

This is not the type of music that PJ displaced, unless that's Kip Winger on keys and Sebastian Bach on backing vocals at the end. Nothing wrong with a significant amount of music that came out of the 80's.

Pearl Jam's also the band that from 1994-2002 made the records they wanted, regardless if they might alienate fans that wanted to put them in a box as the answer to whimpy bands on FM radio, or whatever nonsense that is.

I can understand anyone not liking any song for any reason. I can't understand harping on it, or being a dick about it, or arguing with people who do like it.
Honestly was on the fence after the first few listens but after hearing it at work today at the FULL ALBUM listening party on an amazing full on concert level PA... I'm on board. Bravo guys, the whole album is amazing!

They were never a response to new wave or 80s alternative. Somewhat similar influences have been popping up in bits for most of their career now and they were tagging and covering a lot of these artists that are being mentioned very early.
Another influence I haven’t really seen mentioned...Peter Gabriel solo is all over the outro.
The song had grown on me a bit. Still think the synth sound and riff is weak and the outro is both too long and needs more fleshed out.
Does anybody think they’ll have to settle up with the Breeders? The bass riff is really close and the drums have a similar feel.
My friend sent me a screen shot of apple lyrics with it saying "fire things" instead of "file things." Has this been updated?
Still hear ''file things''..
Me too. I think file things makes more sense than fire things at this point too. Girls are dancing away the problem, men are being assholes, putting a band aid on it and filing it away to deal with it down the road...
Fire sounds cooler though
“Fire things”, like guns and rockets, makes far more sense than “file things”. Nobody wants to file things.

Seems odd to me that people can express how much they like DofC but get scrutinized and ridiculed for not liking it. Personally, I think it's ok, not bad, not great, just an avg song. I'll admit, after this much time off between albums and everything that's happened between then and now, I was expecting something better, my fault I guess. Personally, I think some people on here are just hyped up for something new, just because it's new doesn't mean it has to be awesome but to each their own.
and you expressed your opinion respectfully. some people are just dicks about it. that's the difference. no one is getting ridiculed for not liking it, they are getting ridiculed for how they express it.
I guess but I've read some stuff on here, basically people ripping people for merely disagreeing with them and because some, not all, again, not all but there are a good amount on here that are loyal to a fault that you can't even have a conversation to agree to disagree
I haven't really seen that. The people being ridiculed are either being jerks about it or are crusading against it with post after post. If someone posts a thoughtful critique, they're not going to get jumped on.
Can you understand the strong dislike? Pearl Jam was a bold answer to ALOT of this type of music that polluted FM radio in the 80s.
If you wanted guitar rock, what was the choice. REM? U2? Fine bands but not really much on the power chord.
Even metal bands were whimpy in the 80s. Except Metallica. But they really weren’t on the radio in the 80s.
Ah Bowie just came on the radio. Sounds nothing like DotC. Sarcastic comment deleted.
They were never a response to new wave or 80s alternative. Somewhat similar influences have been popping up in bits for most of their career now and they were tagging and covering a lot of these artists that are being mentioned very early.
Another influence I haven’t really seen mentioned...Peter Gabriel solo is all over the outro.
The song had grown on me a bit. Still think the synth sound and riff is weak and the outro is both too long and needs more fleshed out.
Does anybody think they’ll have to settle up with the Breeders? The bass riff is really close and the drums have a similar feel.
PJ is taking itself too seriously. I'm guessing they listened to the Beatle's White album, dropped some acid and then wrote and performed this song. It is self indulgent and over produced. Go back to the basics boys. That is what got you here. All of the PJ fans falling all over themselves is to be expected. But what do you expect from a bunch of lemmings. Let's hope the rest of the album does not follow suit with the waste of time that is DofC.
Aww, someone didn't get tickets :(

I can understand anyone not liking any song for any reason. I can't understand harping on it, or being a dick about it, or arguing with people who do like it.
This. Seems the ppl who like it post once or so. The ppl who don’t like it make it a point to keep railing against it and argue

You know that’s an insulting word to some? It is to me, but I respect your right to use it and Ed’s right to sing it. But please respect my right to speak out against that vocal in response to repeated comments of praise. We all have opinions, that’s the point of us wanting to engage with each other. Please enjoy the song more.

for the least they could possibly do
This is a great place to start for the Talking Heads.
Considered to be one of the best concert films of all time.

I do like that it's danceable. It will be a fun song to hear live. Everyone keeps speaking of influences. I hear Duran Duran. I was totally into Duran Duran in middle school.
