    This song is legitimately incredible. Moody and energized. Great instrumentation. Great vocal melodies and lyrics by Ed.

    I’ve listened to it a couple times, and I really have to say I do love the track. I love the spaciness, it really takes me on a journey. Without examining the lyrics too much yet, I really love the music, the melody, the way everyone works so well together. I’d be the first one to admit that my favorite PJ material is the first few albums, the first time I heard the grunge movement really explode from a young age really had a profound effect on me; but I’m not critical of much of their stuff, not much I don’t like. I respect the fact that artists have the right to create whatever they please, and I can certainly get behind this, even when it doesn’t sound like vintage PJ. I might get heat for saying this, but that guitar almost reminds me of something I’d expect to hear on a modern RHCP track. Really funky. I love it.

    Hate the drums and that it sounds like one guitar through the whole song. 
    Stone is playing bass.
    Is Jeff playing synth then? Or did they make Boom?

    I love  it. Moving  forward and new.lyrics  good. Only think matt could have done more. And maybe  stone.  But its good to me
    The drums are really bad. It's like they took that 20 seconds of Can't Deny Me where the drums are all processed and no instruments, the worst part of the song, and made the drums for the whole song sound that bad. Matt will play it better live. On real drums, hopefully. 
    Matt is playing the drums on the single though. 
    Yes, Stone explained how Matt played the drums “dry” to sound like a drum machine. But he is playing live, other than an electronic high hat

    They are going to go off on the end of this thing live. Think Rearviewmirror. Thats how powerful i see this ending being live
    Yeah, quite a few spots where I could see them breaking out, it could be one that's a completely different animal live.

    I've listened to it about half a dozen times now and really like it. As many here already said, nice change. I personally love New Wave, to this is right up my alley and I can totally see myself dancing away to this.

    I can appreciate the adventurousness but it never really lifts off and then meanders horribly in the back half. It’s like somebody gave them a rough description of Radiohead’s late 90s evolution and they decided to write a song with that in mind.


    I does get me more intrigued by the album. 
    You're not wrong.

    Last two minutes were unbelievably good. Wow
    That’s what I was thinking too. I love how they just rode out the ending. Let that groove go. I can’t believe this is the same band I’ve been listening to pretty much my entire life. Such a beautiful curveball. One thing that hasn’t changed: when I listened to the premier on the radio, I sat on the floor with my back against the stereo, just as I did at 12 years old listening to Vitalogy when it first came out. Now I’m listening with headphones on repeat, literally dancing in my living room. This band still fucking has me. Can’t wait for the record.

    I’m absolutely loving the change of pace and experimental nature of the song. Hoping the album brings a lot more of this :)

    It's 30 minutes later and I'm still playing this song on repeat. Really haven't been this amped for a new Pearl Jam single since Save You. I also agree with the sentiment that the end of this song could build into something super powerful live with Ed looping vocals and the rest of the band looping instrumental tracks until it's just a massive wall of awesomeness. Absolutely can't wait to hear more of this record and to hear this song live.

    I fucking love this song. LOVE IT.

    It's funny because I've been making an effort to listen to newer artists like Billie Eilish while also dusting off the hold Talking Heads, the Cure and David Bowie. I'd love this song even if I wasn't already inclined to love it. And I can imagine this being an absolute banger in concert.
