I probably shouldn't like Don't Gimme No Lip. I usually don't think they do fun very well, and the songs I could most easily compare this one to (Leatherman, U, Mankind) I really don't enjoy. But for some reason I kinda like Don't Gimme No Lip, possibly because I don't feel cheated out of a song. This comes across like an exercise is basic song writing, the kind of thing REM would have written before Chronic Town. It's sort of surprising to see Stone write a song like this so deep into his career. Maybe its such a simple song since he's experimenting with vocals. At any rate, I've seen this live once or twice and really enjoyed it (more than a few traditional pearl jam songs) and while I never seek this song out, if it came up on shuffle I'd listen to it. There's a charming innocence to it that's utterly unlike anything else they've ever written, and because it's Stone singing, and my expectations are low, it works (if this was Eddie I'd want more)

2 Stars, but I enjoy it more than that.

This is a crap song, idiotic lyrics and a tune that barely qualifies as one. But there's something about Stone Gossard singing the chest-thumping tough-guy chorus that makes it hilariously entertaining. I'd relish the opportunity to see it live--I prefer the '06 tour versions to the original.

2 stars. I don't hate it, but if i'm being honest i would never have listened to this a 2nd time if it wasn't a Pearl Jam song.

I prefer Mankind.

Probably my first and only 0 star ranking for a PJ song. Still better than anything by Justin Bieber though!


PS - Since it's a 0 star ranking, there's really no way to calculate how many times better Even Flow is. I mean, with EF being a 5 and DGNL being a 1, then EF would be 5x better...but it's so much more than that, thus a 0 star ranking for DGNL.

3 stars. I like to put this on playlists and when people go who is that I say Pearl Jam and they look at me cross-eyed and I say now you're Stone's Bitch.

3 1/2. Tongue-in-cheek is always that much better when half the people around you don't get the joke.
