Huh.  Well I won't put stars as it would make people bug out.

1.  Whoever Said
2.  Superblood Wolfmoon (lyrics stop it from being #1)
3.  Quick Escape
4.  Dance of the Coo-Coos
5.  Never Destination
6.  Take the Long Way
7.  Alright
8.  7:00
9.  Comes then goes
10.  River Cross

11.  Retrograde
12.  Buckle Up

First four, I like...and continue to like more.
Second four....take or leave but feeling like Pearl Jam to me and I will continue to like more
Last four?  Maybe they will be ones that I learn to love from bootlegs?  Just don't do much for me yet and I almost always stop the album sometime in the last four songs where it sputters out

I see people are revisiting their earlier posts.
Mine are the same.  Have actually stopped listening is heavy rotation.
Really missing out on the Live Factor as I expect it will increase my appreciation for this record.

I want to like 7 O'clock but those damn "Heeeee heeeee's" Ed has been doing since Into the Wild really grind my gears.  Reminds me of Michael Jackson with his "hee hee's".  

I couldn't agree more!

Dammit...now it will for me also..thanks

My Current Gigaton Track Listing Ranking:

1. DOTC and 7:00 
2. River Cross
3. Alright
4. Retrograde

5. Buckle Up
6. Who ever said
7. Superblood
8. Comes then goes
9. Never Destination and Take the long way
10. Quick Escape 

It's taken me ages to get round to doing this and I'm not 100% sure, it may change slightly and I can post an update.

I guess this also means I'll have to update my list of favourite PJ songs and albums which I narrowed down to around 60 at Xmas.

Btw I like the heeee heeeees.

1. Who Ever Said (best song Ed ever wrote)
2. Superblood Wolfmoon
3. Dance of the Clairvoyants
4. Quick Escape

~love this album as a whole, but talk about top heavy~

5. Seven O'Clock
6. River Cross
7. Never Destination
8. Alright
9. Retrograde
10. Comes then Goes
11. Buckle Up
12 Take the Long Way

6-12 were tough to rank. Pretty confident in my feelings about the first 5.

JimmyV

I'm not sure about 1-10. It's one of those things that could change from day to day because so many songs are so good on this album.

But...Take The Long Way and River Cross are 11 and 12.

Such a great album! I still can't get into Retrograde for some reason. I like the song but something isn't clicking for me yet. That could change over time. It took years for me to appreciate Sleight of Hand.

I trust no one that puts comes then goes in the bottom half.

I’ve been taking a PJ break after over-immersing back in the Apollo contest days 😂

Here’s mine. Note that I haven’t had a listen to the full album in over a month. 

7:00
Retrograde 
Buckle Up (I just don’t understand the lack of love for this one!)
Quick Escape
Comes Then Goes
Whoever Said
DotC
SBWM
River Cross

Never Destination 

Take the Long Way
Alright

Alright is my only skip song. And despite their rankings, I imagine Never Destination and Long Way will absolutely shred live. But my mood is different when listening to an album vs a live show. 

I hope you all are staying safe. I’ll try to check in more often.

Some of these songs remind me of other Pearl Jam songs:

Who Ever Said - Love Boat Captain (due to the lyric references to classic songs in both)
Comes Then Goes - Thumbing My Way
Seven O’Clock - Unthought Known
Retrograde - Sirens

Vitalogensia

I'm surprised to see the amount of people that put "Take the Long Way" at the bottom, love that song.

I still don’t feel the magic of 7:00.  Bottom three song for me. 
Top three live songs of this album will be:
quick escape
retrograde (they will jam the hell out of the end)
who ever said 

aurynsdad

Where I am at currently:

Quick Escape *****
Dance of the Clairvoyants *****
Who Ever Said *****
Retrograde*****
Buckle Up *****
Comes Then Goes *****
7:00 ****+
River Cross ****+
Never Destination****
Alright ****
Take the Long Way ***+
Superblood Wolfmoon***

And yeah, I think it's a stellar album with five ***** tracks. Also, while I have Take the Long Way bottom two, I still love it and believe it has the best guitar solo of the album and maybe the last 3-4 PJ albums at that.

I have not either, Mcgruff. I’ve tried and tried to feel it, but I am not really digging 7 O’Clock at all. I’m actually not even sure I like it.
