    I've always liked MYM, but DOTC edges it out for me.

    I was more thinking:

    Dance of the Clairvoyants vs. Who You Are 

    Honestly that is a good one. Would pick them both over MYM.

    MYM is a better live song to me than on the album. I like DoC better as a studio release

    Mind Your Manners is a good song and a great lead-off that got me stoked for Lightning Bolt - however I was disappointed some of the rockers on the album didn't measure up to the intensity that MYM had!

    DOTC is great, and very vibey.  I want to hear it in the context of the full album before fully assessing its relation to the new album, but stricly as a singular song I like it more between the two of them

    STBC is one of the only good ones. MYM isn’t.

    My reaction to MYM was lukewarm.  I was excited for a new Pearl Jam song but it didn't wow me.  I felt like they were playing things safe.  But DOTC blew my mind.  I can't tell you how many times I've listened to DOTC since it dropped at midnight.  I can't listen to it just once and I keep hearing new things each time.  And Matt's drumming combined with Stone's Bass playing is just out of this world.

    Echo this /\   Liked MYM when it was released for the energy and punch in the face quality.  Fun live.  Nice to get away from the folksy Into the Wild and some Backspacer stuff post Avocado.  But I find DOTC to be more intriguing/thought provoking and fun to listen to on repeat and draws me to keep playing whereas MYM was always more of an occasional listen or if I was in the mood type song.

    I like MYM it's a jolt of angry energy & is awesome live. But I swear, while listening to DotC last night it felt like the Master/Slave intro

    Totally different song, obviously, but imo Dance is better musically, lyrically, creatively, etc. When I first heard MYM, I really liked it, and still do. But similar to what a lot of people have mentioned, it's a straightforward rock song and nothing much more. I'm a sucker for creativity and doing something different - DotC undeniably did that for me.

    Correct.


    There’s a lot of feelings being expressed on the legendary porch forum that DOTC haters are being too mean and judgmental about fans that like the new song.

    please note that the PJNB can not be “correct” as it is an opinion. 

    Fans that believe it contains the worst chorus in rock history could be offended since some believe they might have an incorrect view.

    *I only own MY mind... I am mine* - Another great lead off single, depending on your view of Riot Act. Wakka wakka wakka

    Oh and that "Master/Slave" feeling I experienced was very brief and probably partially marijuana induced - but it was there, mainly in the multilayered Ed vocal parts for a second or so.

    It's hilarious how it's like battle lines are being drawn over DotC on ye ol' Porch.

    I dug MYM immediately, for how intense it was. how politically charged it was. and I never got tired of it. DotC took time for me to get used to, and I do like it now, but it's still MYM by a mile for me. 
    I'm with you on that. I was sold on MYM immediately, but unlike you I am having a hard time getting into the new one. It reminds me of when RHCP released "The Getaway" album, and the first single was "The Adventures of Raindance Maggie". It was such an unexpected turn for the band, and everything seemed to change after that and now I'm not as big of a fan as I was before that album. I'll admit that I like the newPJ  song a little more today than I did yesterday, but it's still got a long way to go for me. Maybe I'll be blown away by hearing it live and then I'll feel differently.

    Hmmm, do you mean the I'm With You" album? I didn't like that album at all, but The Getaway is fantastic.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I liked I'm Beside You a little more than I'm With You. Reading what JK said during the Marc Maron WTF Podcast, he even preferred those songs to IWY. I actually like The Getaway the most out of all 3 of the Josh records. He had a nice little progression as a songwriter with them. But, FROOSH IS BACK - AGAIN, lol.

    Yes, sorry. I was going off memory and should have double checked which album that song was off of. The Getaway was definitely better than I'm With You.
