    My wife liked PJ but never liked them as much as me and said she “fucking loves this song it’s like Depeche Mode”. At first this bugged me a bit but she’s right and it’s good.

    Guitar in the this song is outstanding.  Vocals too.  The whole song just clicks. It begs to be listened again and again.  Love it.  Great drive song. 
    Hope to hear lots of guitar from mike and stone on new album.

    I m well known among my circle of friends to love Pearl Jam. There are many that despise pj and have made fun of me for years.  Dude who absolutely hate pj texts me today and says, “mike I cant believe I m saying this but I totally love Pearl Jam s new song.” Wtf?! Lol

    I'm liking the song a bit better but just can't get past the drumming.  I guess I like a little loser feel to drumming.  But then this is probably meant to sound 80's and so much of 80's stuff was mechanical robo-drum sounding (no offense meant toward Matt who is a fine drummer).   Also not my favorite Ed style of singing.  At this point in his career, maybe not such a good idea to rip on the vocal chords so much.

    My current rating:

    Well, seeing as all the tickets are mostly gone at this point...probably not something you have to worry about.

    Love it !!! I’ve personally been waiting on the post punk / new wave kind of sound on one of their songs. The Bowie, Talking Heads type song. This brings me back to early, early 80’s MTV days. I love the hard stuff a lot like almost everything but this is unique, fresh for today’s standards. I’d expect nothing else from these guys. Sure the record is a full variety of styles like usual but glad this “ new wave” song has finally come and it’s actually really good. 

    Definitely picked up on the post punk element too along with the other influences. Mike’s guitar has a Gang Of Four feel (a band that the RHCP’s love, so understandable others have been hearing a bit of them in there as well). 

    One thing I think hasn’t really be mentioned is how hard it is to make a song of this style seem as effortless as this. There’s been a couple of comments about DotC being “phoned in” but truly if any one of the parts of this song were off it would crumble easily & sound crass. 
    To put together vocals/lyrics the way Eddie has  is fantastic artistry. 
    Ok, they’ve had SEVEN YEARS to get it right, but I’m sure we’re all going to be glad they took that long! 

    Most pleasing of all is to see how happy they are with Gigaton as a whole too. The way Stone has spoken about the journey to here, how they’ve captured the spirit of the band, plus the great marketing push its getting indicates it’s something they are really proud of. 
    Hopefully that means more PJ songs for the foreseeable future. 

    Personally I think the track is going to work well as track three on the album. Not too down tempo, but not too full on rocking either (interestingly after one listen to DotC, Given To Fly came on straight after & it felt REALLY slow!). Buzzing to hear the next single & Gigaton. 

    So glad there’s life in the old lost dogs yet 😃

    After a day of letting this song sink in, it sounds more and more like Pearl Jam to me. As a whole it's of course very different from what we're used to hearing from the band, but each element taken individually can easily be traced to one of the band's members including both their individualized playing styles and many influences.

    I've really needed something to pick me up for a good long while. Remember the way PJ made you feel when you got hooked on 'em? This song is doing that again. It's fucking great. Eddie's on fire. Stone's on bass?? Matt is smooth as hell and McCready's just perfect. Not completely sure what Jeff's doing (assuming the synth but ya never know) but you can still hear his grooves. Was not expecting this sound but I DIG it. I hear a sort of joy in the music. Highlight is the way Ed can sound like David Byrne at the beggining and Peter Gabriel at the end. I haven't enjoyed a PJ song this much since Avocado. Wicked psyched for the rest of the record!

    My Wife thought the original was the cover band and the cover was the real thing.  Goes to show you.  Even the people who dont really know them know how they sound.   The cover still has that 80's feel with keeping who they are in the track.  Great job Black Circle.  Im done witth this one,  on to to the whole album.
