    This song is so damn good.  Straight forward, but intricate, just an instant classic.

    MONSTER OF A TRACK!!!!!

    I haven't had a song hit me like this in a long time. Perfect tempo, chunky bassline, McCready solo...

    I'm on 2nd listen: This song is growing on me fast! Love the chorus and the instrumentation. I'm getting an Audioslave vibe from this. Anyone else?
    Kings of Leon for me

    Has anyone deciphered the spoken words in the middle of the song when the piano comes in? Sounds like Ed speaking as if through a headset radio like a pilot.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I've wondered this as well...
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    How in the sam-hill was not the lead single? I know they have a history of choosing the likes of Who You Are and Nothing As It Seems over more "single-like" songs like Hail Hail and Grievance. But come on, this would've been such a great "Pearl Jam is BACK" single for the masses. No reason not to like it, no need to try and figure it out or let it grow on you, just a great tune everybody can enjoy.

    Looks like they used footage from last year's night time Falcon Heavy launch? I was there to cover that! That's cool as hell!

    That chorus is awful but instrumentally this is fucking bad ass. Sounds like the Cochise bass/guitar line with some Jimmy Page

    Cool how they have the Pink Floyd, "Welcome to the machine" sounds right at the beginning, and the opening sounds Rage Against the Machine, "Testify" right at the end.  In a way, reminds me of Rats but with a Presence-era Zeppelin take on it.  Jeff coming in strong on bass in the ending solo is very Them Crooked Vultures.  Great stuff.  3 for 3 for me.  Disk hasn't arrived so all I have is these three so far.  Very strong.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    No kidding.  Just PJ being PJ.  What’s the saying, “a riddle wrapped in an enigma?”  Most PJ thing ever
