    I liked and enjoyed ALL of the songs on the album to a fairly similar degree which is good and bad, none really stood absolutely head and shoulders above, but none were skips at all for me.

    Waiting for Stevie might be my least favorite though, at least probably in the bottom 3 tracks but I know a TON of people said it was their favorite.  Its hard to choose a top 3 or bottom 3 because they're all so close together in how good they are. 

    The awesome thing about PJ is their ability to capture so many different tastes in music that everyone enjoys vastly different songs of theirs.

    I’m not,  it’s Pearl Jam.  There fan favourite songs are rarely the lead single. 

    Should it have been?  That’s another story.

    well, just got to this song starting from the beginning of the album. Had to stop at the end to come on here and say this song is amazing! Not sure how anyone could say otherwise. Only listened this one time and already thinking this is an all timer!

    The end of waiting for Stevie into running hits you like sometimes into hail, hail if you’re not expecting it

    My early favourite, however I love them all. So to have this at the top is saying something. After the theatre listen I had a big smile on my face, when Stevie finished I turned to my sister and said ‘how good was that one!?’

    Early favorite here as well. The guy beside me called it best song since Vitalogy. I found myself agreeing. Looking forward to more listens.

    Wow, that's a bold claim right there! Given to Fly, I Got Shit, Long Road, Present Tense etc etc say hi!

    This song is top notch.  Love the way Ed sings this one. I'm guessing this is a Stone song.

    Love this song! Whole thing is awesome, but the last 90 seconds are fantastic, all Mike and Matt.

    Based on interviews, sounds like Ed and Andrew worked up the skeleton of it during the Earthling sessions. The only song that really came from before the band got together to record.

    Loving the album!
