PJ Part Deux
Well, not really… in fact, maybe it is Part Tres? Whatever… I said I’d update you on Pearl Jam and here it is: nothing has changed for me. In fact, I realized my first listen to most discs is spot-on for me, so extended listening doesn’t really help its case. I have listened to it about five more times and “Severed Hand,” “Army Reserve” and “Inside Job” are the standouts for me. “Comatose,” “Unemployable,” “Gone” and “Come Back” are good. The rest is either okay or not. That’s more than half the disc mentioned and my rank does change. It’s their fifth best and closer to Yield than Binaural. I moved it up a spot because my second listens of “Severed Hand” and “Army Reserve” warranted it. I might be contradicting my open, but screw it.

Have you noticed that the hook for “Severed Hand” is almost the same as the one for the opening of “Porch”? And that the verse for “Comatose” sounds like the chorus of “Spin the Black Circle”? Some odd things going on on this record.
My current list still starts with Binaural, then Yield, then maybe Pearl Jam (as I’ve said, I’ve listened to Ten and Vs. too many times at this point).

Yeah, “Porch” and “Severed Hand” are similar sounding. I don’t know about the verse in “Comatose” sounding like “Spin the Black Circle,” but with that in mind, the guitars definitely sound like that song. I still sing “Spin the Black Circle” to “World Wide Suicide,” but I still haven’t quite figured out why. They don’t really sound that much alike with the chorus, but I can’t shake it.
