Agreed.

Can’t find the video in Tidal anymore.  Wonder if they put it out too soon.

Riot Act in a different realm! You Are is a great likeness, yet not alike either! I love Riot Act, and even if a different arena altogether it's still awesome and a nice change of pace from Backspacer and Lughtning Bolt despite great songs on those two albums.

This is much better than You Are

BUT in 2002, You Are was like "What the hell?" Electronic sounding, unlike anything else we'd heard from them. etc.

Not for me. I’ve never liked that one 

The issue with You Are is its lyrics are cringeworthy

I hope so but that's what we said about "I am Mine".  We thought that cool little solo in the end would become a 10-minute solo.  But instead, live, he stuck to the album version.  We'll see.  Overall, I really like this new one.  Shows diversity.

I think it’s great.  I don’t think the entire album will sound like this, but I’m really glad they experimented a little and the result is positive

I'm totally getting a The Killers - I'm the man vibe, and that's not a bad thing.

Agree with that! I am the shoreline and you're the sea. First time I heard that I kinda went "Uh, puke."

I can get that. Nothing I'd listen to. Modern disco. But good comparison.

The d word in a chorus is the most cringe worthy lyric I can recall hearing. By a c*ntry mile.

they should have been bold and match the d word with the c word. THATS BOLD. Pussies.

Totally blown away...this is brilliant. Production, music, lyrics, everything... March 27 can't come soon enough!

The d word?

First reaction: "wtf is this BS... Are they in their Chris Cornell 'Scream' phase?"

Second reaction: "very poppy, getting Prince guitar vibes and Bowie vibes."

Third reaction: "is Ed saying the word 'dicks' ?

Fourth reaction: "interesting lyrics, interesting vocal phrasing, the song is full of ideas."

Fifth reaction: "I think I actually like this song quite a bit."

I’ve spent the last twenty minutes silently dancing around my house with headphones on. This song is fucking badass 

Been dancing in silence for nearly two hours. Who would’ve thought it would take new wave Pearl Jam to get me here?

maximumlawman

Very funky. I hear  „It‘s ok“ being tagged when they play it live. 

ceska

Interesting song, I am down with the new direction musically, it actually really reminds me of a friend's band, but yeah that chorus is no go for me. The best Pearl Jam songs are big singalongs, and I am definitely not singing "boys wanna grow their dicks" out loud at a concert.

RideRick

One of the best songs I’ve heard since a long time. Can’t wait for the rest of this magnificent album!!!

It’s fantastic. This album will kick ass if it’s this experimental. 

Im with you on this. Been waiting for them to get experimental again for damn near 20 years now

My feelings exactly! 😁 

I love this! Lots of influences - Peter Gabriel, Bowie, Talking Heads, Television - but they still make it their own, too. 

I'm sure there will be more familiar-sounding songs too, but I'm thrilled to see them cutting loose again. Been waiting for that since Yield!

I like it.  First PJ song one could dance to.  Shows off their diversity.  To hear D of C and then Vegas 11/30/93 come on afterwards and yes it is the same band.  Nice!

First PJ song you can dance to? If you haven't been dancing to You Are then you're really missing out.  

Please post a video of yourself dancing to You Are....

Riot Act has aged wonderfully, better than almost any other PJ album, at least outside of the first big 3. I'm not saying it's my favorite album, but it has aged like a fine wine.

Great album... Took me several years to figure that out 

-Ardy-

I heard a bit of Clapton singing Eyesight to the Blind from Tommy....the church scene...with the Marilyn Monroe-masked people...that part...that hook...

I'm picturing that weird dance that they always did on Charlie Brown

Really cool song didn’t realize Stone was playing bass and mike sounds like Frusciante. I’m getting a cure vibe

Is "I'm in love with clairvoyants... because they're out of this world" 

the new "That's the moss in the aforementioned verse..."
