brain of jfk is a better opener, but parting ways is a better closer.

- Breakerfall/Parting Ways (Binaural, 2000) 2 great tracks from a killer album
- Go/Indifference (Vs., 1993) great beginning, awesome ending
peace

"What could be better than a beer with Eddie Vedder"
Rocking opener and chilling ender...perfect blend!!
It's all state of mind
Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff
You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Go is a sweet little powerhouse.
The intro is a bit mystical with a great threat and urgengy to it.
And then the song has yet to really start.
The bass is just sooooo thick you can almost taste it.
And the singing and lyrics are superb as well.
Indiffernce is masmarizing.
It sounds so open and yet so small.
It sounds as if you are surrounded by darkness close to that match that has just been lit.
vulnerable, again mystical. As if you are sent off into the night.
If you add the cool instrumentals leading into and out of the songs then it's Once/Release.
Go/Indifference 2nd. 1st if you drop the instrumentals...
So, what is your favorite combination of opener/closer on Pearl Jam albums? These are the options:
- Once / Release (Ten, 1991)
- Go / Indifference (Vs., 1993)
- Last Exit / Stupid Mop (Vitalogy, 1994)
- Sometimes / Around the Bend (No Code, 1996)
- Brain of JFK / All Those Yesterdays (Yield, 1998)
- Breakerfall / Parting Ways (Binaural, 2000)
- Can’t Keep / All or None (Riot Act, 2002)
- Life Wasted / Inside Job (Avocado, 2006)
- Gonna see my Friend / The End (Backspacer, 2009)
- Getaway / Future Days
My three favorite combinations remain the same:
1. Once/Release
2. Go/Indifference
3. Gonna see my Friend/The End
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
i remember hearing a leaked copy of this cd and my buddy saying "wait till you hear this song called inside job". blew my mind wide open and i just got goosebumps from typing this.
A very close second is Can't Keep/All or None.
But i really like all of the openers and closers except for Backspacer's, which i don't like at all, and I think Future Days is absolute garbage. I even really like Stupid mop.
