    The first performance of Got Some on Tonight Show w/Conan.

    After that, it was all kind of downhill from there...a mediocre album, very few US tour dates, dwindling quality of live performances, and crappy sounding bootlegs. I really hope the next album is a redemption for them - both in song quality and live performances.

    just breathe is a beautiful tune. the rest of the album is pretty forgettable.

    Verse = great
    Chorus = cheesy and forced (almost like two different songs merged together)

    Just breathe is one of the 3 worst songs on that album.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Force of nature/got some/gonna see my friend - the rest of it I can take or leave
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    there is no argument. The winner of the song game was Unthought Known and I concur

    Gonna have to agree with that. And the highlight is right at the end of that sequence. :)

    The fact that Pearl Jam is still making good records..

    that it's only 37 minutes long

    I second that.

    Or how about: "the feeling you get taking it out and putting on any other PJ record?"

    Sorry, I just don't think there's a single song on it worth giving a damn about now or 20 years from now the way there are on every one of their other albums.

    All that being said, Amongst the Waves is the best track. Unthought Known is too formulaic and obvious in my opinion.

    And please god let us not waste a track on the next record with Ole (which might be the worst song they've ever written).

    20 bucks says you couldn't write one song that comes close..
