Not feeling this one yet. Need to crank it in my car... while taking the long way home.

This is the best rock song on the album, and of all the songs on the record, I think it's the one that most fills me with the excitement of "old Pearl Jam" -- where "DOTC" feels distinctly like a sort of post-PRAMG product, I can easily imagine a parallel universe where this song followed up Riot Act and the ensuing decade of Brendan O'Brien never happened. It's so good.

I seriously love, love, love Matt's songwriting!

Actually I think this one's my favorite on the album now. Shades of "Get Right" that just take me to the happiest of places.

Amazing song. I couldn’t believe I was hearing Pearl Jam be Soundgarden. As others have said, this is as good of a rock song as PJ has written in a long time... it may be one of their best ever. Guys, Gigaton is really, stunningly good. This is crazy.

weird time signature!

yeah, this is matt cameron at the top of his game songwriting wise. of course it sounds like his other band, but not like rip-off soundgarden. its sludgy/off kilter but still pearl jam. also the vocals are awesome. is this the backup singer they brought in?

Takes some getting used to. Sounds like a Riot Act song.

I can hear some Soundgarden here as well. I didn't quite hear it on my first listen, but it has a certain drive.

Modern day 'Get Right' with some soundgarden inflection. Can't argue with that.

I'm all in on this one.

Did not expect this to be so...pop? Not in a bad way but this has an extreme singalong quality.

Almost skipped this on first listen. Better on second listen, but it's still hovering around a 2/5 for me.

Great song and best PJ rocker in decades. It has some balls - a GREAT hook/chorus - and a fantastic solo/outro (definitely channeling some 80s metal there - Rhodes era Ozzy/Van Halen, etc.)

5 fucking fists in the air.

No idea how this can be at or near the bottom of some Gigaton ranks.

The weirdass Cameron composition here is very cool but I hate the limp, weightless guitar tone
