In all seriousness, i thought Binaural was boring too upon the first handful of listens but I was 17.

I love Thumbing My Way. It was really the last time they were able to make the "ed solo song" on the record still feel like a Pearl Jam song.

Agreed. But I can't put my finger on why, and I wonder how much we're just imposing that on the songs because of ITW.

The guy mentions a "No Way" like groove. This could be it.

Yeah, I can't pinpoint why it is either. Maybe it's because Riot Act has a distinct sound to it that is consistent in Thumbing My Way? Riot Act was the last album that really had it's own atmosphere, so when we get to Just Breathe it's just the ed solo song on this mix we're listening to.

Well, there's no consistent tone on Backspacer anyway but that's part of the problem. It's just songs being thrown on rather than a consistent feel.
