I could see it having a slow opener, like "Sometimes"... or a meandering instrumental intro, like the opening of Ten or Vitalogy

I love Around the Bend. It's a beautiful lullaby and a fine album closer. Just so happens that I like Sunburn more. I think it's also a beautiful lullaby (of sorts) and it's more interesting. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with AtB.

Someday, whether solo or PJ, I'd love to hear a fully realized Sunburn close an album.

It already is :heartbeat:

I actually made someone a mix with I Got Id as the closer after a short little jazz instrumental. It sounds monumental.

Well it fits wherever you put it. It works as an opener, centrepiece, or closer. Actually no. It doesn't work as a closer at all. Only Force of Nature has suffered the injustice of being unfairly rammed at the back of a record.

It still works but it would be a far more popular song of it were on side A

Damned iPhone

I was listening to Lost Dogs the other day and recalled that 'All Night' appeared on a preliminary tracklist for No Code at some point (on a poster or something?). Does anyone know where in the tracklist it appeared? I can only really see it working to open Side B before or instead of Habit...

bodysnatcher · **Posted:** Sat February 07, 2015 3:53 am

If I remember, I think it came from some magazine in the UK or something??

From what I can find, the track listing from it was:

The track list is :
Sometimes
Habit
Who You Are
In My Tree
Smile
Hail, Hail
I'm Open
Red Mosquito
Lukin
Mankind
Black & Red & Yellow
All Night

No AtB or PT.

Yep -- I had that poster and that's exactly how it was.

Cheers guys :thumbsup:

Surely it was never proposed to actually run in that order though? There's no way BRY and All Night could be the two closing tracks...

I can't remember what the poster/page looked like... Were the songs actually listed in a track order format? Or was it just an arbitrary list of songs?

How would we know the difference? I think we need to presume that it was a track order

Rank the No Code re-trackings

I think it was on a poster. The images I have are close ups of what looks like the back of the a;bum, with track names in the photo squares.

That's the right order. Hail Hail was the break point and was repeated.

This has a very different flavour to No Code.

THAT is a fucking great album. I've been listening to it over the last coupe of days and I'm addicted.

I really do think Merkinball and No Code belong together. Some great ideas here.

Would it be too much to have these songs close the album?

1. Sometimes
2. Hail Hail
3. Who You Are
4. In My Tree
5. Smile
6. Off He Goes
7. All Night
8. Red Mosquito
9. Lukin
10. Present Tense
11. I Got Shit
12. HTI
13. Long Road
14. Around the Bend

7. Around the Bend
8. All Night
9. Red Mosquito

14. Long Road
15. Sunburn

I love Habit, and highly appreciate Mankind and Around The Bend, but that too would have been a great album. Glad I've heard I'm Open as well. It meant a lot to me back then.

Well, there's also a new Pearl Jam album to look forward to. Hope you will enjoy it.
