When did people start turning on Swallowed Whole? I thought the consensus around here was that it was one of the better examples of latter-day PJ doing their soaring chorus thing. I love the 'Into The Wild' vibe of the song and the jangley REM-style guitar in the verses :nice:

The lyrics are decent by recent standards too, if only Ed could remember them - played 15 times and none of them even close to flub-free.

If it makes you feel any better, I've never liked it. It's been my least favorite song on the record since first listen. I've always been a vocal hater of the song.

But I think it's still mostly well liked by the majority.


It’s not new for me to dislike this song either. It’s been bottom of the barrel for me from the beginning.

I'm surprised to see that Getaway is RM's favorite song from this album.

All the songs are not included. My favorite is Yellow Moon.

Is this the official thread for this album?

This album has actually changed for me quite a bit, surprisingly. Is there a "remastered" version of this out there yet?

I'm gonna listen to it all the way through, and then I'll decide.

I like Yellow Moon.
Future Days is probably the worst Pearl Jam song.

Ltrp has very interesting music. A shame about the lyrics.

too bad about this track ... seems to be approached like a gimmick by the band ... figured when this came out that the end would be prime for a lengthy blues jam live ... instead they just don't do anything with it ... but it could be capable of so much more...

I didn't make it all the way through, I'll try again. One thing I know is that Getaway has really come along.

I’m still interested in what you mean by it “changed”.

I just mean that I like and dislike certain parts/songs more or less than I did a while back.

So you like Getaway more, what else?

I was relistening to the new albuns of a few of my favorite bands.

LB was the only one I could not finish.
The mixing in this album is complete garbage, and almost all songs are unoriginal, uninspired and forgetable to horrible.

The only thing that's MAYBE listenable is Pendulum, Yellow Moon, Infalible and MAYBE Sirens. Everything else just pisses me off.

And people said that Backspacer was bad.
