    Listened twice so far and I'm neutral at this point. I need to digest this, but I like the pissed off vibe. I also got the Cornell feel in the beginning (not saying Ed sounds just like Chris, but there is something familiar there that made me think of him right off the bat; perhaps the notes as others have said). I'm always happy to know they are in the studio working on something - it's great to be a Pearl Jam fan, just saying ;)

    Ed sounds like Cornell in the first verse. Pretty great!

    I get the impression that even if someone is credited as a sole writer on the music for something, they all have a hand in it one way or another.
    I'm inclined to agree with this.  I've never written a song or know how writing credits actually work, but I would assume if a sole band member is credited as the songwriter, he probably came up with the main rhythm and/or melody then the intricacies were worked out amongst the others.
    depends on the dynamics of the band, but also if the rest of the band feels as if the song was brought in complete or not. 

    or, in PJ's case, if BoB thinks it's a radio hit or not. 
    Love it lol. Great comment

    The A Nightmare on Elm Street soundtrack on vinyl. It's fucking 100+ dollars. I can't pay that.

    Yeah. The vocals are surprisingly rough even on the studio version.

    Hopefully it won't sound like this live :)@Shyner

    I think it sounds awesome. Love the riff, love the Cornell high start, love the song.

    "Can't Deny Me"

    This sounds like a dud song that did not make the cut for Lightning Bolt.

    Groups that have been around for a while have hundreds of songs like this in the vaults. Check out any of the re - issues of the Rolling Stones bonus discs.

    Hey, every band / artist only has so much good material in them.

    Still one of the best live bands from the last 50 years.

    I thought it sounded better than most of Lightning Bolt. I like the rawness of it.

    Yeah, for the vocals to work live, they're going to have to change the song up a bit. Eddie can't even sing it on the studio version (which is my biggest beef with the song).
    Either way, I can't see this being a "mind blowing" song.

    I thought this was rather sweet, I like that they are dads and are clearly influenced by what their kids are experiencing right now in America. I really only see this stuff on twitter (since I live in a small fishing village in the UK), but good to hear Pearl Jam joining in the conversation. Let the song protest, etc.

    Thanks guys for the new music!
    I don't know what there kids are experiencing but I know my two kids are living in a great time! BTW the song is great...lyrics are pretty shitty though. Protest songs are great if they can be generalized to be interpreted how you see fit.  But glad it was free i supposed and good to get you going in the morning.

    It's probably in production and we'll get it a few months from now.  This is an "early" download.  I'm sure they'll send out a little blurb when they start to ship.

    Trump wasn't President in 2011-2013.  Why do people think this is a LB leftover?

    I have to agree with mcgruff 10. I wish it would, too, but I don't see it happening. I have tried to like the song, but so far, I only like the chorus.

    i'm the opposite. the chorus is my least favourite part. I like the verses better.

    We're people this critical of weird shit like Happy When I'm Crying? It's still the fan club single, maybe just treat it like that? It's better than a whole lot of those have been in the past.
