    Record has intentional awkwardness that works for me 
    I really like the album, but "Let the Records Play" and "Sleeping By Myself" back-to-back really hinder it.  First of all, I'm with a lot of people here thinking there was no need for "Sleeping By Myself" on a PJ studio album after it appeared on Ukelele Songs.  If you want the band to play it live like they did with "Setting Forth", fine.  

    I feel like many Pearl Jam albums have the, as you called it, "awkwardness", or goofy, alternate track.  I really don't care for "Something Special", but it's one song on an otherwise very solid album.  Throughout the years, they've had "I'm Open", "Red Dot", "Soon Forget"... but I really feel like those type of tracks should be minimized.  Vitalogy went a little overboard, but it has 10 awesome straight-up tracks.

    Yellow Moon, probably my favourite track off LB. Just beautiful in so many ways. Would love to it live!

    Well said. I just think the beats in general are very different and I like that. Maybe odd timing? Yes that sbm definitely not for me.

    The one blemish on PJ’s otherwise stellar career, in my opinion. 

    The only songs I can listen to 11 years removed from this record are MFS, LTRP, and Getaway. 

    3/12

    Oh well!

    I go back to Infallible and Pendulum. The others just haven’t stuck as well. I always like the title track, and really enjoyed it live but it just feels like they tried to get that unthought/gtf vibe and it sounds uneven at times

    Good album after Backspacer.

    Nice touch to have the vector graphics painted on the LP.
