    Who You Are is one of my favourite all time PJ tracks. Was stoked to hear it in Leeds '14

    Can you imagine being a fan hearing stuff like who you are for the first time? That was way out there for the band too, but has held up well over time. This album might (hopefully) have some tracks that push the fanbase
    When Who You Are came out I initially lost interest in Pearl Jam for awhile. They completely lost me with that one at the time. It turned me off of No Code as a whole too, which is a shame. It took me awhile to fully appreciate it. I still don’t love Who You Are, but I like it better with age and No Code is now in my Top 3 for sure. 

    That being said I would love to hear something different with Gigaton. Even if it doesn’t hit with me right away. I have enough faith in the band to stick with it and let them take me in a new direction. I can’t fucking wait to hear it!
    I agree completely, I still don’t like ‘who you are’.  I love the fact the band want to challenge their fans, but making poor choices on singles releases isn’t challenging it’s just annoying.  The fact that the band still plays songs such as ‘Black’ at every gig and rarely play ‘Who You Are’ says to me that the majority of fans agree that some songs that weren’t chosen as singles should have been and some that were shouldn’t have.

    Yea. Agree with @Spiritual_Chaos that the single for No Code probably should have been Hail Hail. I was in High School at the time and I just remember that the buzz in the hallways after Who You Are was just brutal for Pearl Jam. They lost a lot of fans that I think never really came back after. It really might have changed their whole trajectory if they would've just picked a more palatable single like Hail Hail. Then again, I also think that the loss of fans that occurred with the release of No Code may actually be what allowed them to survive this long and still be playing & putting out music. So, I guess I'm happy that Who You Are was the single??? LOL

    Also, I really like having this thread be the one place to discuss album stuff because we either get 15 threads for every little thing or we get 1 thread and its getting lost in the 900 threads devoted to ticketing issues and roll calls.

    I wonder if they were on the track to "less buzz" anyways after VS and then Vitalogy with how different they were to Ten and with Vitalogy being weird with some big songs sprinkled in between.

    So, I wonder if they had continued on the "Animal", "Go",  "Last Exit" etc path what would have happened in terms of radioplay etc. And them not having videos on MTV etc. 

    Eddies Beverly Hills hotness can only take a band so many albums.

    Thought it could be a "good" thing to collect stuff regarding the album and a "cool" historic document about the album -- SO NO ONE CAN CHANGE OPINION THREE ALBUMS LATER!

    I don't know. I mean Vitalogy was still huge and well received amongst me and my peers. It wasn't until No Code & the failed non-TM tour (how ironic) that their popularity dropped off a cliff in my opinion.

    Clip of the song:


    When I heard the title of the single, I was seriously worried. Sounded like something off a New Age panpipe album. :s But listening to this clip, I'm suddenly excited. Kind of a Television/Talking Heads vibe that's still clearly Pearl Jam. =) Bring it on!

    Billboard on the single:


    Produced with Josh Evans, “Dance of the Clairvoyants” isn’t your typical slice of Pearl Jam. Opening with a kick and hats, with bass and then synth entering the soundscape, “Clairvoyants” has more in common with angsty post punk.  

    Eddie Vedder hasn’t lost any venom. On it, he sings: “Expecting perfection, leaves a lot to ignore. When the past is the present and the future’s no more, every tomorrow’s the same as before.”

    Their musical musical evolution is on display. "'Dance' was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration," comments bass player Jeff Ament. "We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting."
