The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Why is this song so notorious for being horrible? It never stands out to me either way on the album. It's not great but it doesn't sound horrible to me. Just ok. And I like the verse melodies a lot. It seems too short to be that offensive. And has a very unexpected bridge/solo which is interesting to me.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

Yeah, this is easily one of the most forgettable songs they've ever put out. The bridge is pretty cool, and the way it leads into the last chorus, but overall it's a dud.
Stone's quote from the Billboard Q&A around the time of release was interesting:
Quote:
Yeah, that's probably not too crazily far off. I wrote the riffs. The verses are what I wrote last. The original arrangement was overly complex. When I first heard Ed start singing it, I thought it had this Ramones or Springsteen thing going on. It feels very New York.
Would be curious to hear that original arrangement, surely more interesting than what we ended up with.

this and LTRP are the most embarrassing PJ songs by a country mile
i like a fair bit of LTRP - the only redeemable thing about this song is the out of place bridge
fair
I remember thinking LTRP was attempting a Marc Bolan / T-Rex type swagger, and that's cool; I just don't think PJ are glitter-queer enough to pull that off properly

Oh man if I only had pollster rights, we would totally be ranking the Spritzers right now

Supersonic is one of the better sub par Pearl Jam songs

I'm listening to this after a few SBWM spins.
SBWM is clearly much superior.
Supersonic starts out with a punch to get your attention, but then it's all downhill from there and there's nothing at the bottom of the hill. I think i like the SBWM solo/breakdown better, and the yeah yeah yeahs at the end of Supersonice are just as bad, maybe worse than the la la las of SBWM.
