106. All or None vs. Long Road

that's an easy Long Road vote

actually it's been a long while. I should give all or none a listen

It’s the end of a Long Road.

All or None

So I'm not changing my vote, but All or None was better than I remembered. The 'to myself I surrender' moment is really nice.

Usually if I feel like listening to riot act songs I'll just play Can't Keep - Save You - Cropduster - Ghost - I am Mine - Get right and call it a day. If I hear All or None it's in the context of a full album listen and I'm pretty exhausted by the end. Long album made longer by the songs that feel longer than they are, and I think the final run of songs post Get Right is the weakest stretch on the album. But as a stand alone song I liked it a lot more. Well played, All or None. I'm not changing my vote, but this was still a moment of renewed appreciation for All or None

Both great songs. But the outro solo on All or None seals the deal for me.

All or None is one of their best closers by far. It's hard to vote against it, but damn I love middle era Pearl Jam.

Long Road it is.

All or None is certainly a top 10 PJ tune for me, and quite possibly top 5.

and i wished for so long

Ooff. Yeah.

All or None

Yep

I'm a little surprised by how this vote is going

*delighted

I can't imagine it'll stay this way, so I'm just gonna take this moment to bask.

Long Road is catching up.

I imagine when voting closes Long Road will be ahead. But I'm pulling for my underdog!

These are both beautiful songs, but ultimately I think "All or None" strikes a bit more resonant of a chord with me (and, as I think we established in an earlier round, that chord is a Gm as played with the low string downtuned to C#, and a capo on 3).
