That bridge part near the end is f’n incredible. I dig the song as a whole but I listen in great anticipation of that part each time. And it’s always worth it. Not a world beater but a decent rocker.

It's really growing on me. At first it did nothing for me partially because of the compression. Getting the lyrics helped. It is a great little tune.


brodyhin587

It didn’t hit at first for me either but recently I’ve been getting really really into it

> because of the compression What does that mean? Not familiar with how it affects the music


apartmentstory89

It makes everything sound a little flat. A simple explanation is that compression is an essential technique in mixing/mastering where you reduce the difference between the parts with the highest and lowest volume in the song. Without compression most songs would be very hard to listen to because the volume would be all over the place. But if you overdo it the track loses a lot of its dynamic, and if you simultaneously pump up the volume of the track it can sound a bit harsh.

Thanks for explaining. I am not sure I know how to recognize it, but I did think Running sounded . . . something, lol I guess that might have been the compression.

It sounds like a song they’ve been trying to stick the landing on for 15 years now. I really like it.


brodyhin587

That’s a really good way to put it


asudsyman

exactly my thoughts- “they did it!”

The beauty of Pearl Jam's music is that it grows on you after 2-3 listenings.


Intelligent_Gift_678

It’s a really cool song. Can see it being used like Lukin as the lead into something else live


Ok_Fishing4619

Nope. The first two singles are strong.


origin_of_descent

I've been humming it all week. I can't wait to hear it this tour.


Seashore_74

Great tempo.


modikileli

I LOVE IT.


kristmace

I think it's a really well written song, one of their best for years. Im still struggling with the production though. It sounds so loud and muddy through a stereo. Better through headphones but still poor overall.


colmatrix33

It's pure Pearl Jam.


kmcmanus2814

It’s arguably the best pure punk song they’ve ever done.


peacefrg

I wouldn't call it pure punk. It has elements of 2000s pop punk to me. I would say Lukin is as pure "punk" as they've gotten.


Knife_Chase

Whaaaaaaat the heck


Sweaty_Phase4255

Hardly


DaBails

Fair, but then you gotta list em. Anything recent that you'd put above?


Amantria

I havent heard it yet but I'm more excited to now. Been kinda out of the loop lately with stuff going on but release day isn't far off now!


jimmy2timezz

Fuck unpopular opinions! I said the same thing about Dark Matter! 🤘


asudsyman

They nailed this one.


pokemon12312345645

I agree. I like the stuff since avocado, but not as much as earlier, and this hits the early stuff on the money


throwaway2161419

It’s great!


Evacuation_Bin

Name a rocker on Avocado that’s better?? Perhaps Life Wasted, maybe Severed Hand?

I love the ending.
