    Ed's lyrics here are a bit hypocritical considering his unwavering support for Obama's legacy.
    Can you elaborate? Like which lyrics are hypocritical?
    As in, as if all of a sudden with Trump in charge everyone's rights are now being ignored, everyone is being treated differently.

    I love that everyone is now awake and sees what's going on - but most of it was happening under Obama's watch too.

    Anyway I digress.
    It’s been happening since Reagan.
    Absolutely.

    Trump attempts to normalize and in some cases codify some of these things, of which I believe you speak.  Obama did neither and conducted himself in the opposite way.  Big difference.  
    Yeah, Obama just did it discreetly and made everyone feel nice.
    Did what,  specifically?
    Pillaged the citizens of the country and pandered to corporations whilst continuing perpetual war. But he did it with a smile and the ability to speak well.

    I’m really digging it and I’m glad to see lots more praise here than negativity.  All over social media today I see a ton of  “this sucks/this is terrible/what happened to Pearl Jam?” blah blah blah.

    A few things: I dig the song. The chorus is catchy, the verses sound raw, Stone is the groovemaster. It’s the annual fan club single and it’s an original Pearl Jam song. That’s something we haven’t had in a long time. It’s not a cover, it’s not a rework of an existing song, it’s not a live track we’ve already heard 100 times, it’s not Ed solo with Jeanne Tripplehorn or Beyonce. It’s politically charged which eeeeeevvvvveryone has been thirsty for the last 18 months. So when I consider the whole package - sound, content, delivery, & timing - this is easily the best fan club single in many years!

    After the first listen I texted my friends that same thing!  Ha.

    I heard "The higher, the father.." and then I started singing "The Father, The Son, The Holier the Spirit."

    Hahahaha man i couldnt think of where i had heard that melody before

    Reminds me also of Boats and Hoes.  The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria..
    I couldn't place the melody either until I saw this. However, Zack de la Rocha of RATM did those lyrics in Sleep Now in the Fire before Boats N Hoes.

    I like it. The sound of the typewriter, Eddie´s angry/sarcastic "haha", the rythm. As a non-English speaker, I realized just how angry it is when listening to the song and reading the lyrics. Eddie is pissed off. I love how PJ always shows up with a surprise when you least expect it.

    It wasn't as obvious to me as the jeepers creepers vibe that near instantly tainted my perception of let the records play.

    PJ clearly not protesting the modeling agency...

    They could have done tons with this song and related it to human struggle with real imagery.  Instead its just another staged attractive face and edgy graphic design

    Would be fun if they popped up on Colbert or Fallon and played this. Curious to see if this will be a staple this tour.  Feels a bit like Got Some crossed with Soundgardens “By Crooked Steps” from King Animal

    I really enjoyed the song when I listened to it this morning. I didn't have a few few minutes last night where I could listen to it properly so I waited. I hope they play it when I see them this year. There's no point in getting butthurt that they don't sound like they used to in the 1990s anymore.

    So will physical singles be sent out to anyone who was a member of the Ten Club in 2017? I only joined last year so this is all kind of new to me.

    I’ve given it a few listens now, it’s ok but it’s not something I will be adding to my playlist. Musically it just doesn’t sound right to me. I am glad that there is new music though.
