Imagine for a moment that way back when Pearl Jam revealed individual songs and we/people had a chance to overreact to each of them on their own. Please understand I am a giant, lifelong fan and have an open mind as to the tone (level of seriousness) of this post:
Animal: They've officially lost me on this track. But before we go there, I was lucky to got a sneak peek at the cover of the new album. It’s a close up of some animal's mouth? Maybe it’s the evil goat I've heard about? Then there is a rumor about the album’s title. It’s either "Vs." or "5 against 1". Geesh...just pick a title and go with it. That being said, I was "lucky" enough to hear the recently leaked Animal. I have to say, I'm getting kinda bored with the one name titles of this band's songs. Did they cheap out on a marketing consultant? So this supposedly "rocking" song starts out with the verse "1,23,4,5 against 1". Are we on Sesame Street? I half expect The Count to pop up at any time trying to teach me numbers. Anyway, I have to say, this may be the most shallow song I’ve come across from this band. It’s like they made a bet to see how many times they could say “I’d rather be” in one song. Plus they seem very defensive. It’s safe to say we’ll never hear this song on the radio and I’m starting to think the same about this band. If they’d just go the more traditional route, they may actually have a future. As of now, I give this a 1 out of 5 and hope someone gets to them before they ruin their career before it starts. Can you say intervention?

Lyrics, melody etc are not up to much, but I don't think it matters. The riff is pumping, it always gets
the crowd going, and that's enough for me.
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Wind this thing up.
