Woulda been near the bottom of my picks, but really anything off this record is "poppy" enough to be a reasonable choice for a push at radio. I was actually starting to wonder if they were just gonna leave it at two singles, so I guess it's nice in that regard.

Bad choice. IMO, ATW is easily the low point of Backspacer. Who know, maybe in a few years I'll like it, but right now, I don't.

not what I would have picked, but as McP said, at least they're promoting something.

For what it's worth, quite a few people who are casual fans at best were the most drawn to this on an initial listen. Singles aren't released for fans. they're released to make fans.

I'm willing to bet it will be the best selling third single the band's released... atleast since Vitalogy.

I'm not a huge fan of it, but it makes sense to me. It's loaded with hooks, and it's probably the song that got the most attention when the reviews were coming out.

I remember some RMers saying it was "the best pearl jam song since given to fly". :shake:

There's definitely a big split. A lot of people on this board shit on it, but it also came second on the Backspacer poll here I think.

They played Rearviewmirror and Severed Hand on SNL. Neither of those became singles.

so historically, they've played their best songs on SNL and then released their shittier songs as singles.

I think they played unthought cause zinn died and ed wanted to pay tribute, i guess he thought that song was fitting.
