Getaway Mind Your Manners Lightning Bolt Pendulum Yellow Moon
Best performing songs from the album in March Madness 2023.
id exclude getaway but that is otherwise a fine crop of songs
I don't like the album as much as you do, but I think this group of songs could be half of a really good album, if the rest of the album was as good or better.
The song here I like the least is Mind Your Manners, but as a lesser song on a full album, it's ok.

I think it’s also a testament of how bad it aged that most of this songs weren’t live staples even in the first year of touring.
Mind your Manners and Pendulum might be the only survivors and both sound great live. MYM is so much better live and it was really cool how they played it last year

That’s a nice way to remember an album.
I mean, I think it is their worst, but even at their worst, I think this album has plenty to offer. Depending on who I am introducing them to, the album to steer towards changes. A Buddy going through a midlife crisis who likes adult contempo music might get this recommendation from me.

this album is sheer garbage
maybe like half of two songs on here are salveagable
produced terribly
backspacer sucked but at least the band was spritzy
this is just hot hot garbage
embarassing overproduction
sloth
most of the songs are them 'trying to make a song that sounded like <some other band>'
hot hot garbage
the whole thing
hot
hot
garbage

If you can get past the ghastly production (big IF) the first half of the album is OK. The running order is shot - Sirens following Father's Son is ridiculous. But the first few tracks are OK. Side 2 - aside from Yellow Moon - is fucking atrocious.

Actually this album is the one that most sounds like Pearl Jam trying to sound like Pearl Jam.
Thesis still holds because they haven’t been Pearl Jam since Ed made Stone fire Dave A. over frittatas!!!!!!
