I hope this is what happens to Ole. stick on a b-side or something, not an album.
one of the most famous oasis rip-offs is "Shakermaker" and "I'd like to buy the world a coke" LOL!!!! that one is blatant.
That's kind of the point of Shakermaker tho isn't it??
I didn't know this Meaning of Soul before - but yeah - it's just like a better version of OleCancel my subscription to the Ressurection

Yeah I suppose you're right. I don't think it's a terrible thing really, I love shakermaker. I just don't love Ole and hope it doesn't make the album.0

Yes I love Shakermaker - and Ole is losing its appeal for me over the course of one day. But it's Pearl Jam, so I'm gonna give it a fair few tries before I write it off completelyCancel my subscription to the Ressurection

For those complaining about this song, I don't really think it's meant to be taken too seriously - I think it's more about the band having fun. And it IS fun to listen to, I think.
BTW, "Whachug'say" is my new favorite 2 syllable word - I had no idea you could get 7 syllables down to 2.Post edited by regalturbo on0 -

Couldntr agree more. I cringed last night when I saw this. i think its the lyrics. All I keep thinking of is this:boyo79 wrote:I've got home from work now and downloaded it after hearing the Fallon performance before going to work. I've listened to the studio version and the Fallon version. The whole song is a mess. Some of the lyrics, if not all, are cringeworthy. I expect better from Pearl Jam. Hopefully its just a Backspacer out-take and not from the new album.

I sure hope you are right because Im having a real hard time taking this serious. I thinks its just the the whole Ole lyric and the way he sings it that I dont like. This really sounds like a Backspacer leftover. So im hoping it was taken from the EP that was supposed to come out a while back.regalturbo wrote:For those complaining about this song, I don't really think it's meant to be taken too seriously - I think it's more about the band having fun.

Its got some great garage rock and Soundgarden influences going on. I'm down. Not every PJ tune has to be some dire protest song or spacy warbling ballad. Not that I don't like the dire protest songs and spacy warbling ballads. Not to mention that I still hear some political nods in this one as well.0

Yeah it could well be from there. I'm quickly developing a love / hate relationship with this song. Some listens I'm totally loving it - the energy is infectious. Other times it's highly irritating

I know what you mean. I think the music is decent, though im not high on punk influenced songs, but I dont like the lyrics and the way Vedder sings it. Just my IMO. I respect if people like it.tremors wrote:PearlJamPatriot wrote:

This is like when THE FIXER came out. Some people digging it, some people don't.
I think it sounds like a bad mesh between The Fixer and Got Some. Def sounds like a Backspacer outtake. Plain and simple (in a bad way) lyrics, bad singing that can't keep up with the music that sounds like other stuff they done - but not better or more interesting.
If this would have been sung by 1994 Vedder.. maybe... and with better lyrics. Now. No."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Just listened to this song again.
It's still terrible.
Music: Generic
Lyrics: God awful
Mike's solo just doesn't even fit this song.
The only thing close to being ok about this song is Jeff's bass work. Other than that, it sounds like a song I'd hear when I paid a $5 cover to see some shitty punk band play in a dive-bar....which I don't do....because that's a waste of $5.
I was talking about this song to a friend today (who thinks it's "ok"). I asked him, if he heard this song with someone other than Ed singing it a) would he like it and b) would he know it was Pearl Jam. Both answers were a big "no".
This is the kind of song I'd expect to hear on a x-mas single as a b-side or maybe a tongue-in-cheek joke in a live setting...not something played live on national TV.
Just sayin'.0 -
I love this song - I understand why people don't but I think a lot of people are taking it too seriously and analysing it waaaay to much. Especially in terms of whether or not it's on the album etc.regalturbo wrote:For those complaining about this song, I don't really think it's meant to be taken too seriously - I think it's more about the band having fun.

completely agree with you there.^
To me, it's definitely in the "Big Wave, Supersonic" punky, fresh and fun song category of Pearl Jam.
It's fun, which is refreshing. It's upbeat, rocky and has some great lyrics (I like the light-heartedness of Ole! and the whole I-Don't-Give-A-F**k attitude)
It's only the first song too - one song that may/may not be on the album. I am just so happy for new music too - a real nice surpise, having it being released to us as a properly recorded single and not relying off of live versions.0 -

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.
Totally agree..

To the people that hate this song:
You probably hate Big Wave and Supersonic too because that's how this song is. It's fast hard punk with somewhat random lyrics and random music to fit...it's just a fun song. You guys probably were expecting a next Given To Fly or Wishlist. Now if you just don't like it then fine....I could care less but I say give it a try...After the third listen I was banging my head and jamming...love this song!!!
