I think most people use torrents nowadays, but I'm a hold out. I might use torrents at this point if I had a clue how to use them. In the meantime, it's pretty rare when searching blogs won't flush out just about anything I'm looking for.

I've used torrents for over five years for live shows on Etree. But I'm not sure if it's that big in piracty. Torrents seem only beneficial for huge uncompressed files.

This is so not a Top 10 (or even Top 20) caliber Pearl Jam song.

This is so not a format that cares how new songs by legacy artists sound anymore.

yeah lol this song isnt that great. I agree too, U2 made the top 5 just because they're U2 lol, definitely undeserving for Get On Your Boots

In all fairness I never thought "Yellow Ledbetter" was all that classic or anything but it still ended up charting and appeared on both Lost Dogs and Rearviewmirror. That one was a Ten b-side, too.
"Brother" is alright, I actually like it more than YL in fact. But outright success is ridiculous. But rather apt when you consider the number of stations still stuck in the early '90's. I wouldn't be surprised if it freefalls after the Ten re-release.

Yeah, I've never liked "Yellow Ledbetter." I've always thought it was long and boring.

#1 on Modern Rock. >:( :( And I saw that coming too. I kind of don't like that this is doing so well. Because it's only promoting the rerelease of Ten, and a new album is on the way sometime this year, so I'm worried about how it might affect a real single if this continues to have a good chart run. Unless they put this song on the new album, which I doubt they would, cause Pearl Jam wouldn't really do something like that, I'm sure. Almost sure.

I don't quite understand why many are upset this has peaked high here.
This may not be one of their stronger cuts, but still superior to most of what's out there presently, and doesn't the strength of this release ALSO reinforce the fact that, while the band may be far from the height of their popularity in terms of album sales particularly, that they are nonetheless still very relevant, to the point they can top the Alternative chart with a track from a non-proper studio album?
Moreover, we haven't gotten many updates regarding the band's follow-up to their self-titled release (or "The Avocado Album") other than McCready saying that they "had four or five ideas" and Vedder confirming that O'Brien would be producing the record and that they would be recording the album soon.
Thus, at this point I'm not sure if it'll still be released this summer, and may more than likely at this point be released in the late third or fourth quarter of this year.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

So I'm a bit confused...is the version on Lost Dogs the same as the one that is going to be on the Ten re-issue? The sample on iTunes only gives me guitar and no vocals, so I don't know whether to but this one or wait for the one on Ten...

It's already been discussed earlier in the thread, but no, the one on Lost Dogs is an instrumental version, there is one with words that is the single.

Current peaks on Billboard:
#1 on Modern Rock (for 1 week). #8 on Mainstream Rock.
Also, yesterday it reached #1 on Mediabase Alternative. Here's today update:
3 1 PEARL JAM Brother 1703 1621 82 6.726
78 stations playing.
It's not that I dislike the song, but I can't believe it's doing so well! I would understand if it went #1 only due to the band's weight on Alternative radio if it was the 1st single from a new album and if it was a completely new song but that's not the case.
It's a decent song and that's exactly how I feel about 90% of Pearl Jam's catalogue. In my book they are overrated.

I think it's silly when people say things like that, because obviously a lot of the reason they're held in such high regard is because of the effect they had on the musical landscape. I dunno, I can understand not liking them, but thinking they're overrated seems kind of like missing the point.

No, I respect them and they are obviously a talented band that made and make good music. And no I don't dislike them. I actually have "Ten", "Vs." and "Pearl Jam" on my iTunes. What I meant is that I don't get their legend status.

What I meant is that I don't get their legend status. Well I mean, it's really a lot of bands from that era are attributed that status. Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden. It's because of them that we have a lot of the music we have now. Their influence and popularity basically helped changed the direction of where rock was going. It's not for nothing that Nickelback and company are attributed the term "post-grunge".
