It’s All Happening

  • To me it’s obvious there’s some Pearl Jam songs and there’s some Earthling songs. The riff on React, Respond is Tom Morello. Setting Sun is the “most Pearl Jam” song to me and probably my favorite. The second half of that song is like hard to imagine.

    Pearl Jam, Taylor, Bongripper and High On Fire. Excellent day for new music. 
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Something special is borderline cheesy, but Ed pulls it off. 
    I’ve got three daughters. Love the song

    I’ve just got one 9 year old, but I agree.

    This entire album does! They haven’t made a record that felt this ready for an arena in so so long. And yet it doesn’t feel like they’re just trying to placate the masses. It’s a real true piece of work and is catchy as all fuck.

    x2.  Wow this song blew me away on first listen.   10/10

    Also, Setting Sun gripped me 1st listen.   Can't wait to absorb this whole album over the next several days.

    Ok, just finished and yeah, Setting Sun is the best closer in a long time. I can’t wait to play the shit out of this for the next year. Also, taking my soon to be 8 year old son to his first show and the fact this album is this good makes me even more excited than I already was.

    Upper Hand might be my favorite. And that’s saying something. I’m legitimately shocked at how much I love this album.

    Not hitting number 1.  Taylor’s album dropped.
    What, just because "Fortnight" has 600,000 views in an hour on YouTube and "Got to Give" has 772 views, you don't think Pearl Jam can catch up?

    Did anyone else notice that the visualizer for "Something Special" was not posted to Pearl Jam's YouTube channel?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    If you had told me this was a cover of a John Lennon song from the White Album, I would have believed you. I mean this as a compliment. Something about the guitar tone + the lyrics + the vocal melody makes it weirdly Beatles-esque to me.
