Pj fan from 91 here..this song makes me so happy. I just love it and cant wait to hear it live 🙌

[@melvinthinks]

It's a cracker, isn't it Deb 😁 Hopefully the rest of the album follows this lead.

[@ZA-co9vj]

Completely agree! Excellent album! 👍

[@kaydeeruff5122]

No Code is brilliant, it hid in plain sight for years. Love Vs and Yield too they're all cracking albums

[@melvinthinks]

Totally agree 😁👍

[@carlosvera9957]

Dark matter Will be great

[@SBD_RAA]

You made me Subscriber Now! Just Because The Way you reviewed The Music, and The History, Of The artist very Good Review!!!

[@melvinthinks]

Thanks Rudy! 🙏😁👍 Hope you enjoyed it as I definitely had a blast making it.

[@ginafragata2947]

Love Perl Jam ❤

[@visserjs]

Thought Jeff Ament was reacting to PJ from the thumbnail haha

[@melvinthinks]

I'll take that! 😁

[@MrBings714]

Definately their best lead single in a very long time.

[@melvinthinks]

I concur 🤟

[@dewiwilliams4821]

For anyone new to PJ and thinking of giving their old stuff a try, Warning, there is a reason PJ are new to you, they havent really made good albums for a while despite always being a great live band. If you want more good stuff I suggest following below, simply a subjective reference. Start with the 5s in chronological order then the 4s...etc Ten 1991 - 5/5 Vs 1993 - 5/5 Vitalogy 1994 - 4/5 No code 1996 - 4/5 Yield 1998 - 5/5 Binaural 2000 - 3/5 Riot act 2002 - 4/5 Eponymous (avocado) 2006 - 1/5 Backspacer 2009 - 2/5 Lightning bolt 2013 - 3/5 Gigaton 2020 - 4/5 Dark matter 2024 - 5/5

[@melvinthinks]

Nice one! I'm personally not new to them as you know, but this is useful reference for newbies to the band 👍

[@flipjupiter1]

I never comment on reaction or review videos. But i have to say that Limp Bizkit is actually in my top 5 all time favorite bands along with Pearl Jam. Three Dollar Bill Ya'll is one of the greatest albums of all time. Ive been devouring all music genres for about 25 years. Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Van Halen and Pearl Jam are my top 5. Enjoyed your video. ✌️

[@melvinthinks]

Thanks dude!

[@HextimusDuex]

dude.. have you seen SINGLE VIDEO THEORY ... Yield era

[@melvinthinks]

Yeah - but it was a LONG time ago 😬 My partner has it on VHS I think! lol

[@LyricalBlock32]

Hey Jeff A. Are you?? 😱🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻 This song is GREAT 🤘🏻 Yeah Yield has got some gems: Do the evolution, Brain of J, Given to Fly

[@melvinthinks]

If I can look that good at 61 then I'll take it! lol It's better than being compared "to a young Phil Collins".

[@LyricalBlock32]

@@melvinthinks lol how old are you dude???

[@melvinthinks]

21+20. I think it sounds better like that.

[@chriso6719]

I did like Pearl Jam back in the day, but my favorite grunge era band was Alice In Chains, with Soundgarden right behind. Favorite PJ album???... Probably Ten, think I have to go with "Alive" for favorite song. First listen on this song for me too, I'm liking it so far. Going to have to give it a couple more listens later.

[@melvinthinks]

It's definitely a grower and takes a few listens. They keep pumping out quality music 33 years after the Ten album which is impressive. I adore both of the bands you mentioned, but for me, I was always team Nirvana 😁 I think that PJ, AIC and SG were all better musicians, but Nirvana just connected with me and made me look at my guitar differently.

[@gedece]

This song is good, don't know if it's as good as the old ones, and of course it could have used more mmmmms or uhhhs. BTW, my favorite Pearl Jam album is Ten.

[@melvinthinks]

Classic record, Ten. Not bad for a debut album 😁

[@DerrickCharles5750]

Storms of Africa by Enya…..

[@melvinthinks]

Erm... I'll have to think about that one 🤣

[@G-Man01]

I've come to expect any new pearl jam album after Yield is going to be: Super VERBOSE with too much lyricism and no use of space, by Vedder. Average 'hooks'. And maybe a few good moments sprinkled here and there. They are now a band who makes better singular songs than they do whole albums. Which is bad. And I suspect we're going to see that again this time around.

[@melvinthinks]

But on a positive note, did you know that avocados are considered a fruit and not a vegetable?

[@iad77]

Reviews say no.... It's a great album

[@frankleyJ]

Decent song, but I disagree. Gigaton was FAR better than Dark Matter. Also, Binaural is a phenomenal record that came out in 2000, self titled, avocado in 2006 has a lot of very good tracks

[@melvinthinks]

Not sure who you are disagreeing with here? These certainly aren't my words or thoughts 😐

[@frankleyJ]

@melvinthinks you said good as anything since the 90s. I disagree. For the reasons stated. Not arguing. One of the better songs of the newest album, just think they've released far better this century

[@travzimmerman1340]

Dark Matter will be Gigaton 2.0 where people pretend to like it, listen to it once, and never listen to it again. This will be another album Stone had no say on..........

[@melvinthinks]

Not too sure how I'll feel about the album as a whole when it is released, but nevertheless, I do like this track.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

Gigaton is my favourite Pearl Jam album since Riot Act

[@colbiesandberg7688]

This comment was obviously made in haste. New album is top notch

[@andevil777]

I spun Gigaton way more than Lightning Bolt. I thought it was a solid effort.

[@iad77]

Reviews are really good so far on the album
