I love the solo on it. Feels a bit incomplete but a good song. Eddie could be a bit more passionate with his delivery, but on the other hand the washed out vocals fit the feel of the song.
I played riot act for a friend of mine who is a u2 die hard but not much of a pearl jam fan (we play new PJ and u2 albums for each other) and this was one of the songs that she really liked on the first listen.

I really like Ghost. Depending on my mood, it is my favorite on Riot Act. I prefer the studio version, but there are some good live ones out there.

As with most of the songs on Riot Act, I didn't really like this song till I heard it on one of the bootlegs. After giving it a few more listens, I really liked it. One of my favorite tracks from the album.

I'm sorry but I have to agree!
What are you guys listening to ?? Far from AWFUL !
I can understand not liking it but awful is a very strong word that should only be reserved for Hitchhiker.

I agree with you 100 percent on Hitchhiker, also throw in Don't Gimme No Lip, too, on that pile of crap. Ghost is a great song, the Boston 2003 version is very cool. Check out the boot.

def. one of my favs on riot act. i don't think it holds up that great live, though. the studio version rocks.
it contains some of my favorite lyrics:
it doesn't hurt when i bleed
but my memories they eat me
i've seen it all before
bring it on 'cause i'm no victim

I like the song a lot, but the production is just crap on it. The mix just sounds poor. For some reason I think it would go well with a Top Gun sequel.
