Uh oh.  This isn't what I was expecting.

I'm going to listen to Leash now to cleanse my ears and restore balance.

Do you really want a guy pushing 60 to yell at you to get out of his fucking face? Why rehash what's been done?  AC/DC  is there for you if you want the same formula over and over.

Yes, yes I do.  I look forward to a 75 year old Eddie screaming the lyrics to Lukin III, hopefully an even faster version of the original song.

And AC/DC has rocked from day one and will rock until they're all done, and that is why their catalog is more popular than Pearl Jam's...at least to the majority of true 'rock' fans.  

I have yet to dislike a PJ album (not counting first listens of the 'weird' Vitalogy and No Code), and I hope this album keeps that streak going...but I will admit I'm a bit worried after single #3 (not a huge fan of single #2 either).

I can’t stop hearing Fast Car in it. Must be similar chords. Especially in the beginning. 

I noticed that too!!!  Thought I was crazy for thinking it lol 

It is close but different. Fast car's verse is Cmaj7-G-Em-D (played with a capo on 2nd fret in Chapman's version and 1st fret in Luke Comb's version) and Wreckage is G-Bm-G-Bm-G-Bm-Em-D.

The instrumental bridge reminds me of December by Collective Soul. They’re both descending patterns that go from G to F on the low e string.

See this is the kind of response I just dont understand.  It's clear you dont like it.   Said multiple times.  Why try to ruin someone else's enjoyment of it?  

Like its one thing to say, "Hey I dont like it, but whatever".   But you are literally responding to someone's positive post about it.   Not mad, just dont understand the desire to continue to beat a dead horse.

And also: it has been out for a day. Maybe give it a week before rushing to the internet to declare "Worst. Song. Ever."

Sure that too.  But I mean, I have not liked songs right off the bat in the past, too.  I never was on board with Buckle Up.  I liked some of the lyrics, but musically, it's not something I would really listen to.  But some people enjoyed it, I just never would respond with, "nope it sucks!". 

Whatever, live and let live I would say.   If someone is enjoying the crap out of something, let them.  Life is too short to be pissing in anyone's cornflakes.

I think we're basically saying the same thing. And I'm with you on the "Buckle Up" lyrics: I'm naming my next album Bedsores and Sponge Baths.

Buckle Up is second to only Johnny Guitar in terms all time great Pearl Jam songs. 

This is not up for debate.

Right. It's one thing to not be feeling a song. Nobody likes everything. When I come across a song or thread like that, I generally say, "I'm not really enjoying this one but I'm glad others are." Major Comic Book Guy energy to a lot of the criticism on this thread. It's annoying. Just let people be excited.

Hardly anyone here can write even one good song but they are quick to say a certain PJ song sucks even though these guys are super talented and legit hall of fame musicians. It’s comical.

Haha, i enjoyed JG right off the bat. It was weird and fun. I knew it wouldnt last.

I guess I had a one night stand with Johnny Guitar.

I have never Buckled Up. But I do appreciate the experimentation.

First listen and I’m really liking Wreckage. That outro is just 👌🏻

If it hasn't already been mentioned, I just realized where I have heard Stone's chord progression for "Wreckage" before: "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty.

Edit: I see that it has already been mentioned.
