This was originally my fav on the album but hasn't aged as well as I thought it would. Much prefer the latter half of the album (Swallowed Whole > Yellow Moon)

What's the absolute best live version of this song?

Interesting to see the love dissolve from page 1 to 35. I still love this song and think quite highly of it,

Jorge loved this song.

I still really like it, I think. I don't know. I haven't listened to it in a few years

It's pretty good. Jagged musically and interesting lyrics.

we need a third song for a cringey ableism trilogy amputee siamese twins ?
Fri August 12, 2022 4:05 pm
personally I think this is the song MOST ruined by the album's production
Fri August 12, 2022 4:12 pm
mmm because its a very good song? maybe yeah. But the production is mainly awful in the whole album.

There are worse lyrics on Gigaton, tbh
Sat August 13, 2022 12:23 am
yeah the lyrics "can I volunteer amputee"???? Ed was at the peak of his "you can literally cut out words and make it make no sense as long as it scans, it's fine" I don't find anything on Gigaton that does that, SBWM gets cringe but it doesn't cut out

I don't think that's what he's singing

This has been one of my least favorite Pearl Jam songs for a long time. To me it just sounds very affected, both in terms of Eddie and the band. (it does have a nice bridge)

one time it is, which kinda makes it worse (knowing the line makes sense the first time, so the change is CALCULATED)

Oh yeah Well this just strengthens my overall belief that Ed is generally a bad lyricist. Or at least modern-age, excessively verbose Ed. For a song as obviously silly as this it doesn't bother me much, but when a song is shooting for poignancy and he does that clunky, awkward grammatical restructuring to fit a rhyme pattern ("Comes Then Goes" has several examples of this) it stands out much more to me
