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.
I am probably (midish May) going to start a Gigaton Guided Tour thread that I hope you at least drop in for on occasion (or just write for me)
I challenge you to keep each entry under 1000 words.
What are your thoughts on hyphenated compound words?

Odds aren't great. I have thought about. I haven't done one of these in 5-6 years, and I have a lot less time to invest in it. But I'm sure I can't help myself.
Apparently I wrote 700 words on Ole and 1156 for Get it Back, songs I don't like. So it IS theoretically possible.
I checked Can't Deny Me and apparently couldn't even be bothered.

You mean phrasal adjectives?
Sometimes, yes:
"But the world kept a-spinning, always felt like it was ending"
But nouns/names as well:
"Collecting up the forget-me-nots"

I listened to this yesterday for the first time since (if my iTunes is accurate) October last year.
It felt like a fairly average Pearl Jam album with a few notable highlights, which I mean as a considerable compliment given the period of relentless awfulness which preceded it.
I really, really enjoyed Who Ever Said, Dance of the Clairvoyants, Take the Long Way and River Cross.
I thought Quick Escape, Alright, Never Destination and Retrograde weren't bad.
I didn't much care for the rest but I also didn't think any of them were an embarrassment to the band's catalogue, just not my thing.

How about Buckle Up?
I usually like Stone's songs a lot but that one is a real miss for me.
I would definitely rank Get It Back among the best songs from the sessions.
Makes me wonder what other, better songs got shelved in favour of your Buckle Ups and Seven O'Clocks.
I really, really disliked how deflating SBWM is in the tracklisting, coming straight out of Who Ever Said. Two Vedder songs back to back was a terrible choice, especially when the second is so weak. Should've been a b-side, at best.
