    I also made the mistake of reading a good chunk of this thread before I listened to it so was spotting a lot of the different things that people had pointed out that it reminded them of. The Sleep Now In The Fire reference, etc. was the main one. However, I still really enjoyed the song.

    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
    Really? I guess everyone has an opinion. But are you really complaining about the artwork? Really?

    Yeah. I don't get why people are complaining about the artwork when there's MUCH worse examples of bad artwork out there by pretty good bands.

    Pearl Jam could put on a free show in a open field in every region of America and people would still complain

    Same here. I'll guess I'll have to wait til the single arrives at my house to hear it!

    Was able to open on mobile Android fairly quickly

    The only catch...luckily an extract option appeared after it downloaded to my phone. I selected that and the song was in my library. It's a zip file so needs to be extracted.

    song is solid AF, but also its a great change in pace.  The thing that hooked me on this band was the progression of the music over the years, from one album to the next.  I wouldn't say they stopped,  and I DO like the albums, but Backspacer and Lightning bolt had me a little worried they were done stretching in the studio.

    I think a lot of people don't know the difference between an annual/holiday single and the first single from a new record.

    People just like to hear themselves talk sometimes. And they want to know when the goods drop so they can do their waffles. lol

    It’s just the times we live in, social media is like 80% bitching and complaining.  Steer clear if you want to remain positive!
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    My personal opinion, which, in the grand scheme of things, means absolutely nothing, is that this is another "Ole'".

    kinda feels as if they put "round lyrics" into a "square song" if that makes sense to anyone other than me lol
    almost as if eddie had to "smush" the lyrics down to get them into the music. Wish mike had a solo in it, mightve given it some zing zing lol
    Its not my favorite but I dont hate it. I am also in the group of happy to have new music for the fact that they are still jammin and writing.

    But can ya blame them? Is this a really a holiday single? It says it is on our downloads. But there's no B-Side. And it's not the holiday. Will there be a vinyl? Maybe they're just trying to catch up because they're behind on holiday singles. Hard to say but yeah, I don't consider this to be like something taken from an upcoming album. It's more like Olé; just something whipped up and given to the fanclub members because there's really not much else to do with it.

    Can’t Deny Me Review


    Well, angry Eddie is back, no-one should be too surprised given the political state of USA. This is a protest song with some clever lyrics and some interesting vocal melodies. There’s a lot going on in this song, cowbell, typewriter, hand claps, bells, cabasas and of course an intense group of guys beating away at their respective instruments. Matt Cameron brings his Soundgarden drum style to Pearl Jam, which is a long time coming. The song kicks off with his classic drum sound and what we can assume is Eddie writing new lyrics on a typewriter. This mix contains a lot so it might be hard to hear but you can hear not only the bell from the typewriter but the return lever for a new line and the clicks of each key as well, which is much more prominent in the almost danceable bridge. The guitars have a great crunch to them, that is recreating some great 70’s and 80’s tones but is lacking a bit in melody, there's the great rhythm riff flowing through the whole song but no distinguishable contrast with a second guitar. This one really brings out their punk roots throughout the verses but with quite a catchy chorus. Will this be what Mind Your Manners was to Lightning Bolt or is this just going to be a one-off single is the real question. Enjoy! 


    Like the review, thanks.

    I like how people are freaking out like its the 1st radio single off of the album.  Its a Christmas single. Its usually as IDGAF as they get and its a genuine tune this time with emotion
