fuck yeah

Been hoping for this

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?

Ha ha. Love it.

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"

Pearl Jam’s long-awaited follow up to Backspacer falls flat on its face.

spinning this again right now

there's very little I don't like about it

yeah, its awesome.

The first 4 are all classics.

any little issues I have about SBWM are forgiven when Ed starts going LA DA DA la da da LA DA DAdaDA

who knew that was what the fandom needed?

such a great non-sequiter of a moment

also I'm in love with everything from 2:30 onwards on WES, "home is where..."

it just gets more and more awesome

I still don't like those synthy guitars but meh

I sure do

Thank you for articulating my thoughts on this song. A year later and I look forward to the pure fun of it.

I even like the crummy little pencil drawing video they put out for it.

Look forward to it.

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.
