Is Come Back the worst song in the PJ catalog?

Not one of my favorites- and my least favorite song on Avocado. I did enjoy it live in Albany, but I just find the album version boring (and very unlike Black).
But to each his own. Its funny how passionate fans of the same band can feel so differently about their song catalog. Sleight of Hand is one of my favorites and I can't imagine that being someones bathroom break, but so what if it is I guess.

Seriously now, I go to the loo before the show starts AND I don't move from my seat once PJ takes the stage! So even if they play LAST KISS, which I simply cannot stand, I still stay there until the boys have left the building!
And if I gotta go to the loo I just hold it! (wish I could learn to pee in a cup like a bloke! ) I don't get why anyone would leave the auditorium short of a fire. But yeah, if you don't like something, perfect time for the dunny!

Just like my other two fav. bands ('cept for Pink Floyd who obviously are no longer/no longer touring), Radiohead and Tool, Pearl Jam take their songs to a whole other level when played live. Everyone here must know that they play each song a bit differently each night - some songs especially. A song like Animal can be a bit more, or a bit less rockin' or tight. To me, Nothing As It Seems, thanks to Mike (but also Matt), is/was always given unique flavour each time they play(ed) it. I've heard from a lot of people who didn't like Tool's new album nearly as much who appreciated the new songs much much more after having seem them peformed live. To take a piss during songs like Sleight of Hand (so fawkin' awesome), I think you're missing out... sorta jumping to conlusions. If you're taking a piss often, that means you're drinking too much booze. If that's what it takes to make a musical performance better for you, then so be it. In reality, the more you drink, the less of the music your brain is actually able to perceive or process. It's good to be in a relaxed state, but I so often seen people blasted out of their skulls at shows who spend more time screaming "Eddie!" or "Maynard!" like a total fucking fool, missing out on the music or what they're saying between songs... mostly just overwhelmed by the fact that they're there ("it's fucking PEARL JAM man!"), and not really making the most out of the MOMENT. I'm blathering on again; to each their own, and all that stuff.

I find that most of my favourite songs or albums were not my favourite the first even several listens. I mean, if something simply doesn't move you, than that's that. But I guess what I'm advocating here is, try to have a greater attention span, and being pissed drunk can sometimes be a deterrent.

Boring, generic, lame, unimaginative...the worst song on Pearl Jam's worst album. It's not even worthy of being a Bon Jovi song.

They should have included another Matt Cameron song instead...to give the album some merit, and to piss off Message Pit members with bad taste in music.

Discuss.

Is this a joke post???

That is one of my favorite songs from pj..

Come Back is prolly my least favorite track off Avocado...too slow, mello, and emotional for me - def not a no code or binaural-like track
usually always skip CB and not a fan of it live either

Really??? I love that song, though I haven't listened to the album much recently.
You like Binaural? My favorite of the moment.
