mike mccready. i don't care if he's stuck in the same bluesy thing he's been doing most of his career. it gives me a boner.
Agree. Worked fine for BB, Hendrix, Stevie Ray etc. he doesn’t need to be Animals as Leaders or Polyphia or doing some thought out melodic thing Brendan OB told him would be better. hearing Mike be Mike is gold. Which they did start tapping into on Gigaton. I think not having fullly formed demos helps as you don’t write a song and then go “here’s the 24 bar instrumental section for the guitarist to solo over”.

Every time I hear this I'm on such a high going into the bridge and then I'm like "jeez we aren't even at the solo/outro yet and it's already at peak greatness."
Pretty good song, but first impressions are that it’s a littlr overhyped. There is something here where they are playing a bit too hard on nostalgia perhaps?

Pearl Jam's two best songs in at least 2018 years are Dance of the Clairvoyants and Waiting for Stevie. On future albums I will immediately turn my attention to the song with the worst title.

Superblood Wolfmoon begs to differ.

I think I said this in the album thread, but you are totally right. This is not just an archetypal song they suddenly pulled out of retirement after decades of seemingly disowning, but they tied it to such an emotionally resonant encapsulation of WHY people were drawn to them in the first place, and why they stayed. It's the core emotional experience of what Pearl Jam can do. It's that first time you were part of the fist bumping during the alive solo, the first time you heard Eddie start to sing Release, the first time betterman started with an unprompted audience sing along, the first 'it's okay' tag.
I mean the song is literally about someone having that experience, and about the listener reliving their own through them, and it all fucking works.
