BUT HOW ARE THE DRUMS!!!

We won't know until Trag hears it

The thing is you all know, because you’ve heard good drums from a live band. You’ve heard Riot Act, you’ve heard In Utero, you’ve heard Eat a Peach, you’ve heard Wildflowers.

These drums sound like shit, in case you forgot.

i don't get how you can say they objectively are bad.. maybe it's just a different sound.. why must all drums sound the same?

I'm sure you're right from a technical standpoint, but my uneducated ears just don't hear a problem.

I was wondering how I'd find the transition between this and Something Special and tbh I think now it might be fine, they are similarly playful in tone (albeit in different ways) so that playfulness will hopefully unite them and separate them both from more serious points on the record; something I miss from Pearl Jam is being put in a consistent mood for a while, I'm just a bit tired of the emotional whiplash of modern PJ; so if this album can hit two or three vibes instead of 7 or 8 I'll be happy

The song stars with a very simple kind of goofy bass riff and then the guitars come in and pretty much bang the power chords of the notes Jeff is playing. duhduhduhduh DUHDUHDUHDUH duhduhduhduh DUH DUDUHDUH
Then Ed yells YEAH YEAH YEAH and theres a little guitar lick
Then theres a short verse we did not hear yet in the snippet going into the chorus we know. lots of running rhymes

then it repeats

then we have the snippet part

then we have a kind of goofy guitar solo

then lots of spritzy ole yelling, eddie sounds like a madman

then the end

my complaint about the drums throughout this album will be the same as my complaint about Matt's live drum sound: the snare is too deep

Did you see the interview with Rick Beato? He likes drummers from the 30s and 40s these days. I do too, but, I kinda miss Jack's snare sound in the band

I wouldn't describe it as spritzy, but maybe I've lost sight of what that means

urine-soaked veggies, of course

[dimejinky99]

I like it.

But it sounds really like something from the 80s and I can’t remember what or who by

right now the bridge is my favorite part about this.

Haha yeah I never initially described it as spritzy but on repeated listens there’s definitely a side of spritz in there along with the main course which is a little heavier.

[Ms Harmless]

the spritz is in the production

this song could so easily be giving Vitalogy in the right hands
