OK. We can agree there. I just don't think it's the very best thing they did after Binaural.

The drums on this song are good. I'd say Riot Act was the last time Matt recorded drumming which was great. The song gets a 4.
Just curious, is that including 'King Animal'? Or just his Pearl Jam drumming?
He was good on King Animal, better than recent PJ, but not still not as good as RA. Personal opinion though. He was just looser on RA, less robotic.

I gave it 5 stars. I just absolutely love this song.
I love the riffs, the drums, the vocals, all of it. It's such an odd but catchy great song. Weird time signature. And man I love the outro. Riot Act is full of great outro's and this is one of them. The catchy bass line and backup vocals are great. It really doesn't sound like anything in their catalog yet still sounds like Pearl Jam. And it's also good live.
I was just listening to Binaural and Riot Act again to see if I like them any better now. Binaural a little. You guys were talking about Matt's drumming in Cropduster above. Are there any songs where his fills are creative or interesting? What really stuck out for me this time around was how repetitive and bland he can be - Save You especially. I can't imagine drumming for as long as he has and then choosing to play Save You that way.

Cropduster fuckin rules. I know a lot of people think the Sydney '03 version is the best live version, but these are my favorites. Any other great versions I'm missing?
