    I have been a ten club member for a decade and a fan for 20 years but it seems that threefish10 would like to quote one line of my first post. How typical. Find a way to draw attention away from the issue. It's not about "listening to the Ramones" (which you should should have already), it's about not being a douchebag (you were obviously not paying attention). My post did not address good or bad. It didn't tell anyone what to think. It said respect the music and your fellow fans and appreciate the fact that your favorite band has given you the media and platform to rejoice or complain. If you can't see that then f#@k off.

    Hell, I love the song. It is sincerely just cool. Very Sex Pistols-esque.

    That's all that needs to be said. 8-)

    Although simple, I like the punk, upbeat Pearl Jam. It's not a classic, but it doesn't have to be. It comes on, and you rock out. 8-)

    Ha. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I never said you personally said any of those things but others have. If you read my post I agreed with you and said we all don't like the same things. I also only used the 1st line of your post as it touched on negativity and I hate seeing long worded posts, it makes it hard to read, especially on my phone. But thanks for telling me how long you have been a ten club member and fan. I've been in the fan club for 12 years and a fan from the start too but that doesn't mean anything. A guy who joined last week is still a fan to me.

    But thanks for proving my point about negativity.

    Jesus! There's fight over a new Pearl Jam song here? I'm going back over to A Moving Train where the presence of heated disucssion seems at least more understandable and certainly more appropriate.

    I'm outta here!

    Peace y'all.

    really like the song overall, but i'll be surprised if it makes the next record. that being said, i love the production and hope its indicative of what the new record will sound like.

    I'm surprised by the amount of negativity towards the people who don't like it. Like you said not everyone is gonna like the same things. so why are the people who don't like it always treated like the bad guys and then told why they should like it, like the people who said things like "listen to a ramones album and you'll get it" or "it's suppose to be a fun song, just enjoy it"

    Just because it's suppose to be a fun song doesn't mean everyone gonna love it, I'm sure the people who made the "barbie girl" song or that stupid shuffling song I keep hearing about said it's just a fun song, but I don't enjoy it and I'm sure a lot of other people don't as well.

    I haven't seen anyone who doesn't like it saying anything negative to anyone who doesn't or trying to tell them why they shouldn't like it.

    Negativity or not liking every thing pearl jam does is not a bad thing, or make you less of a fan then the next guy who loves it, so what's it really matter if some people don't like it or some do? But for people to be mad at some for not liking it is beyond me, and to me that's worse then the people saying it's not a good song.

    And this is why I like you. 8-)

    Need to decipher the lyrics but from what I heard on the first pass I do not like them. The music kicks ass however. Love Mike's wail at the end there. I didn't like Got Some on first listen but absolutely loved it after hearing the studio version.

    Pearl Jam has this weird ability to release something like that this and it doesn't sound like them at all, but then it does if that makes any sense.

    Wow - 23 pages and all sorts of opinions on this song, so varied, interesting and hardcore opinions too. Rather like PJ itself, really. LOVE IT!!

    My bad. I had about a two bottles of wine when I read your post and it rubbed me the wrong way. Totally detracts from my original post and there's no excuse. I apologize and know that I am paying for it now. Peace.

    Ole sounds like it belongs on Backspacer.....ok music & simple lyrics.....if it wasn't for recent songs like Better days I'd think Ed/they was losing his writing touch!!

    I think this song was written purely to get the crowd going during live shows. Who could resist shouting OLE!

    Of the Earth was rather lacking lyrically - they seem to be going for the slightly primal (charitable) or 'dumb' (uncharitable) approach these days. I liked this in the Fixer and Got Some - when it was a departure from the deep and meaningful - but I hope they don't carry on like this forever! There is still depth to be found in Fixer, Got Some, and Ole imo - but they all have a particular approach, an approach whose novelty will soon wear off I think

    I keep thinking that this song is basically "2011's Got Some". Not saying thats a good or bad thing, just saying it is an uptempo song released on a late night show months before an official release.

    It has the same riff.. Tons of songs have similar riffs. There's only so many chords and combos you can do. Stuff will sound similar. The song is definitely not a rip off.
