    Is the video available without subscription to a paid channel at this point? I’d love to see it, if anyone can post a link.

    Thank you, tbergs - much appreciated. 

    Seems the video removes any doubt that the theme is climate change.

    Getting a pretty nice response on YouTube (as far as likes/dislikes go). The audio on PJ's YouTube has 240K views (13K likes, 618 dislikes), and the video has 53K views (5.2K likes, 114 dislikes).

    Pretty cool. I had a bad feeling this song might not get over well with the more casual fans. But, maybe those fans (like many of us here) were really pining for something new and different. Many of the songs over the last 11 years (The Fixer, Can't Deny Me, many others in my opinion) sound like they were whipped up by some sort of automated Pearl Jam Bot. I've listened to DOTC more times today than I've listened in The Fixer in the past 11 years.

    Agree completely with  your last two sentences.

    Agreed. The last couple records felt like it was Pearl Jam the Institution making music they felt fans wanted from them. Bound out of obligation. This feels like Pearl Jam the Band making music for themselves.

    I think it’s great. I was not sold on Can’t Deny Me, but really like the sound of this.

    I think it is great how the band is still taking risks in Year 30. Song reminds me a lot of Eminence Front by The Who. Hard to imagine anyone expected this from Pearl Jam. Love the surprises... this is why they have such a big following, long after TEN.

    I think initially you go, holy shit this is Pearl Jam, my favorite band on Earth, doing electronic beats...but the groove and lyrics are infectious and you become sort of tangled in a world of an 80s cold war whats wrong with the world vibe. I fucking love it and I am proud as hell of these guys for growing as a band. And for the haters, keep your pants on, everyone heard Aye Davanita back in the day and thought Ed had gone full on crazy. All is fine.

    Sweet, I'm loving it. Does feel a bit retro or 80s for some reason, which I totally love. When the first few electronic notes began, I though "oh no, not for me... " but then Ed's voice kicks in, then the guitars, and I'm hooked. It's catchy as hell. Love it! :)

    I like that they tried something new. I didn't like the last two albums at all. I'll give it time and see if it fits well with the new album.

    I was initially just happy that there was a new album because that meant a new tour.  But i am now very excited for this album.  Love this song and it gives me hope that gigaton will be as different from the last two albums as No Code was from their previous albums.   Can not wait to hear this live!  We will be grooving.  I know the girls wanna dance...
