Amongst the wages is by a huge distance the weakes thing in this collection of songs and the lamest thing pj has done in this period. Reaching for and falling far short of a former brilliant place. It's so painfully obvious what they're trying to do and failing at it. It's almost embarrassing
I've heard so many arguments and none of them hold water. There's nothing embarrassing about Amongst the Waves. There is no "failure" or reach for former glory or any of that nonsense. If that's why a listener doesn't like the song, then that's on the listener. That's the listeners own bullshit baggage that they're bringing to the experience.
Which is not to say that it's impossible to hate the song. I totally get why a person would hate it. There are legitimate reasons to dislike it. But "Reaching for and falling far short of a former brilliant place" just isn't one of them.

They stopped playing it quite quickly in the live setting. It aimed to be a huge big statement song. And in the album you could be fooled to hearing that. But it never worked from the bottom up. It isn't among the great pearl jam songs and it set out to be as an intent.

Like it if you like Sweet deal. No worries.
Yeah, I'm not mad at anyone for disliking it or anything. Different strokes and all that.
