thoughts? It would be nice for PJ to have a successful second single for a change. I guess Life Wasted was moderately successful.

Anyways, I'm thinking Just Breathe could be the Better Man for this album, though it seems like the chorus should have been repeated one more time at the end. Other possibilities: Got Some and/or Force of Nature

I think there's really two good ones that should be singles. Either Gonna See My Friend or Amongst the Waves. Actually, Got Some would also make a good radio single. However I think GSMF is the better song. I think people would really like it. Amongst the Waves however is an epic anthem, and is a very easy song to listen to. It's a song that you like instantly, and grows on you over time. If they had kept the chorus going in the end, I think it's a legendary song.

Got Some however is also very memorable, I can see it having the best chance of being the next single.


I really wish they would make a Letterman appearance and play GSMF. That would be awsome!

Got Some should be it.

Unthought Known won't be a hit on radio

ATW might be, but i'm not sure where it would go. rock radio isnt playing this type of thing any more i dont think.

Yeh. ATW would definitely be an easier listen for outsiders. It's like a mini-Alive.

Maybe I'm off my rocker, but I think that if the next single is Got Some, it could be their best radio hit since what, Last Kiss? That's the last one I can remember getting significant airplay beyond the initial weeks. WWS got some play, but it didnt seem to be a hit with people, same with Fixer.

Got Some is definitely very catchy. My only hesitation with it is that it's another catchy/upbeat rock song after a string of several. I feel like a mid tempo song or ballad is in order. I love ATW and UK, but I'm not sure if they're accessible enough to be singles. Just Breathe sounds like the only song with real crossover potential on this album.

Well, the rock station in the small town I live in plays a lot of heavier stuff, I'm guessing "Gonna See My Friend" would get some serious play here.

Force of Nature would do great on rock radio. Then Speed of Sound to adult contemp.

Amongst the Waves. Sounds like classic Pearl Jam and thats what radio wants from them.

Ive played Backspacer to several non pearl jam friends. THey all love the album.
All of them have said Got Some is their favorite.

It rocks. I think it would be a fine single....not a 2nd single though.

Yah, anyone who is a non-pearl jam friend has a terrible taste in music, by definition.
