    Just heard the Fallon performance. I'm not gonna lie - that's probably the worst thing I've heard Pearl Jam do. Makes Backspacer sound good.

    I'll download it tonight and see if my opinion changes.
    wait till u see it live..

    Yeah but Dimi, you like EVERYTHING Pearl Jam do! I've never heard you criticise one thing about PJ....everything they do can't be awesome.

    But that doesn't mean he CANT enjoy everything they do, maybe he just honestly loves what the band has put out, this song included

    I hope that this is the first single off their new album. This song kicks ass, but I guess just like with Backspacer, there is always going to be haters out there. Haters gonna hate.

    I'm one who has some major issues with Backspacer. To me, it felt like there was an intruder on most of the songs. That intruder was the phantom band member named Brendan O'Brien. He added foreign soft touches, and weirdness to way too many songs. As I keep listening to Ole, I'm not hearing any of that and I'm here bobbing my head despite the lyrics that I'm not in love with.

    This song is taking me a bit back to some of the quirky songs that surprised me but that still grooved from some of their older records. I'm digging it sort of in the same way I liked Habit back in the day. It was different, but it had hook. "Never thought you'd habit" seemed just about as odd back then as "Ole" is seeming to me right now, but I got used to it just as I'm sure I'll get used to Ole. I'm hearing some of the groove and some unpredictability back in this Ole song that I'm liking. And I'm obviously much happier with this sort of production than what was on a lot of Backspacer.


    I totally agree with this. Especially the unpredictability comment. I was not a fan of Backspacer at all. This song has an edge to it that no song on BS had.

    It's impossible to LOVE everything that Pearl Jam puts out. Enjoy it, sure....hell, I even enjoyed The Fixer live in 2009 and that song is crap by PJ standards....but LOVING everything and not being able to criticise a single thing, that's not healthy.

  • So I think I'm definitely not healthy :lol:

    I LOVE this song !!! Jeff part is of the charts, the bass is grooving so hard that it kick my ass by itself :o

    Also love the backing vocals. Overall the sound is very powerfull and I like this kind of punky production.

    Thanks a lot PJ for this FREE song !!!

    Once again it's unbelievable that there's still people complaining even when it's free :shock:

    WHAT?!!? :shock: :o :shock: You SKIP songs?!!!! I'm in shock! :lol:

    Hey I don't need to talk to you about it after I've seen it live etc....I never said it was a bad song....I'm not fighting with you about whether it's good or not....I'm just making an observation that you appear to like everything. A lot of people around here appear to like everything and in my opinion, that isn't healthy.

    And I saw you in the clip....2 metres away from the band....rocking out! :lol:

    Very "meh"
  • To be fair, if I was 2 feet from the band when they played it I'm sure I'd have a different opinion of it.

    no one is complaining about the cost. you can still have complaints about something that is free. i could kick you in the nuts for free and i'm pretty sure you would have some complaints.

    i'm sick of everyone thinking that we should love and worship everything the band does, and if we don't we are some how ungrateful little c***s.

    for the record, i don't think it's terrible. but it's not their best either.

  • This is so bad, I thought it was a joke the first time I heard it. I'm actually surprised to not hear more people ripping it to shreds. To each his own, I suppose. As a sidenote, I don't like Big Wave or Supersonic either (though I love Backspacer). Guess certain types of PJ songs just don't "do it" for me. Still going to download it for free though. :D
