    Huh.  Well I won't put stars as it would make people bug out.

    1.  Whoever Said
    2.  Superblood Wolfmoon (lyrics stop it from being #1)
    3.  Quick Escape
    4.  Dance of the Coo-Coos
    5.  Never Destination
    6.  Take the Long Way
    7.  Alright
    8.  7:00
    9.  Comes then goes
    10.  River Cross
    11.  Retrograde
    12.  Buckle Up

    First four, I like...and continue to like more.
    Second four....take or leave but feeling like Pearl Jam to me and I will continue to like more
    Last four?  Maybe they will be ones that I learn to love from bootlegs?  Just don't do much for me yet and I almost always stop the album sometime in the last four songs where it sputters out

    I see people are revisiting their earlier posts.
    Mine are the same.  Have actually stopped listening is heavy rotation.
    Really missing out on the Live Factor as I expect it will increase my appreciation for this record.

    I want to like 7 O'clock but those damn "Heeeee heeeee's" Ed has been doing since Into the Wild really grind my gears.  Reminds me of Michael Jackson with his "hee hee's".  

    I couldn't agree more!

    My Current Gigaton Track Listing Ranking:

    1. DOTC and 7:00 
    2. River Cross
    3. Alright
    4. Retrograde
    5. Buckle Up
    6. Who ever said
    7. Superblood
    8. Comes then goes
    9. Never Destination and Take the long way
    10. Quick Escape 

    It's taken me ages to get round to doing this and I'm not 100% sure, it may change slightly and I can post an update.

    I guess this also means I'll have to update my list of favourite PJ songs and albums which I narrowed down to around 60 at Xmas.

    1. Who Ever Said (best song Ed ever wrote)
    2. Superblood Wolfmoon
    3. Dance of the Clairvoyants
    4. Quick Escape

    ~love this album as a whole, but talk about top heavy~

    5. Seven O'Clock
    6. River Cross
    7. Never Destination
    8. Alright
    9. Retrograde
    10. Comes then Goes
    11. Buckle Up
    12 Take the Long Way

    6-12 were tough to rank. Pretty confident in my feelings about the first 5.

    I'm not sure about 1-10. It's one of those things that could change from day to day because so many songs are so good on this album.

    But...Take The Long Way and River Cross are 11 and 12.

    Such a great album! I still can't get into Retrograde for some reason. I like the song but something isn't clicking for me yet. That could change over time. It took years for me to appreciate Sleight of Hand.

    I’ve been taking a PJ break after over-immersing back in the Apollo contest days 😂

    Here’s mine. Note that I haven’t had a listen to the full album in over a month. 

    7:00
    Retrograde 
    Buckle Up (I just don’t understand the lack of love for this one!)
    Quick Escape
    Comes Then Goes
    Whoever Said
    DotC
    SBWM
    River Cross
    Never Destination 
    Take the Long Way
    Alright

    Alright is my only skip song. And despite their rankings, I imagine Never Destination and Long Way will absolutely shred live. But my mood is different when listening to an album vs a live show. 

    I hope you all are staying safe. I’ll try to check in more often.

    Some of these songs remind me of other Pearl Jam songs:

    Who Ever Said - Love Boat Captain (due to the lyric references to classic songs in both)
    Comes Then Goes - Thumbing My Way
    Seven O’Clock - Unthought Known
    Retrograde - Sirens

    I'm surprised to see the amount of people that put "Take the Long Way" at the bottom, love that song.
