Ok, This was probably discussed before but I just noticed it...

Right after the drone sounds...and just before the main riff kicks in. What is Ed whispering?? Or am I getting crazy?

It always sounded to me like “hit me with a real big stick”

I wager you're almost right:



One of my favourite songs!

It very well may have been mine, as well. It wasn't even my favorite on its own album for the first couple months, but over time it just kept growing on me.

I really like this song but I still would love it more without that synthesized filtered lead part; it "comes and goes" but it just doesn't have a reason to be there imo; everything else about the song *belongs*, yes even the wordiness

I’ve seriously considered making an edit that loses that part

I like this song a lot. But I don't like it as much as the four songs that follow it.

This song has moments but I really don't care for the riff and Ed's delivery.

This song has proven to be an unexpected gem.

Maybe Ed’s best post-Binaural Pearl Jam song?

I loved this one to begin with. It has also aged better than any other Gigaton song except DotC, for me. I was big on QE when I first heard it, but I now put WES above it. Quality track.

My tiers for Gigaton songs:

DotC, WES, CTG
7 'o clock, TTLW, QE
Alright, Retrograde
SBWM, RC, ND, BU

Even the lowest tier is 3 stars.

I wouldn't rate it over "Can't Keep" or "Man of the Hour" (and honestly probably not over most of Ed's Riot Act songs, though some of that is personal attachment talking), but I agree -- it's a great tune.

This was said (or a variation) in the Never Destination thread but equally applicable here. A strength of this song is that while it is a straight ahead sturdy rock song, it has this feeling of building itself as it goes, and moving into whatever space comes along organically next. It has a few false climax moments, like the song THOUGHT it had resolved itself but then had a 'oh wait, but what if' realization and just keeps going. It's very patient for a pretty fast moving song. Really good lyrics and delivery too.


Agree with Trag that the fuzz 'solo' does feel out of place.
