When something's dark, let me shed a little light on it
When something's cold, let me put a little fire on it
If something's old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When something's gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah

When something's broke, I wanna put a bit of fixing on it
When something's bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If something's low, I wanna put a little high on it
When something's lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there's no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

Yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah

The first Pearl Jam track that hasn't brought me out in a mental rash. I felt sure there should have been some! 
Sounds like the Foos …. And that’s a bad thing
GREAT TUNE!!!

An automatic "attenuate volume to maximum" response!




Attenuate means "lowering" NOT "increasing"! Now, Spotify stomps on DYNAMIC RANGE (the difference between loud & soft passages) to make every song the same volume level. This totally ruins the quality of most recordings! FLAC on RP does the exact opposite! It gives you maximum dynamic range, preserving the quality of great recordings.   ...Thank You RP!!!!!!!!!

Then he must have had a real battle on his hands turning this up.

I like other stuff from this new album - but this one just isn't Pearl Jam. It sounds like Eddie Vedder filling in for Shania Twain.

Sub-par if you ask me...


They're firing on all cylinders. Good straight ahead rock'n'roll! {#Guitarist} {#Drummer}
A decent song from a wicked band.
The album is quite good, with some tracks certainly better than others.
I miss some of the angst from their earlier work.
"The End" and "Just Breathe" are great songs off this album.

I like it, which is something I haven't said about a new Pearl Jam track in years.
Vedder is countering his hero's declaration.  It's better to fade away for him.

Pretty average so far for Hurl Jam
I love Pearl Jam, but this reminds me of Night Ranger. And no, that's NOT a compliment.
Really digging the new album.  Good stuff
