I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan, but I gotta say, this song is some of the most generic dad rock I've ever fucking heard.

Which is a shame, because their first single they released for this upcoming album I actually really loved; a very different sound for them, but I felt it worked.

I really hope the rest of the album is more like Dance of The Clairvoyants and not SuperBlood WolfMoon, because dear fucking god, despite a badass name, SuperBlood WolfMoon sounds generic as fuck, and it's very disappointing.

Yeah I was super disappointed with that track. Its the closest theyve come to sounding washed up. At least the first single was decent

The first single I didn't know what to think at first, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. There's a lot of meaning in the lyrics, and although the sound is super different from their usual, it still sounds really good.

Superblood Wolfmoon is just... fucking bad. Like, I've listened to it several times now, hoping it'll grow on me like the first one did, but there's just no depth to it. The lyrics are basic, the sound is basic, even Eddie's vocals are basic, and love or hate Eddie's vocals, "basic" is not usually how you'd describe them.

Like, Superblood Wolfmoon might even be worse than their stuff off of Lightning Bolt, and I cant even listen to like, 80% of that album anymore.

i just tried listening to both of them and couldn't make it all the way through either tbh
Same. They're caught in that box of "trying to sound like we sound while also trying to sound new"....and they just aren't able to pull it off IMO. I wouldn't listen to this regularly...

Dance I genuinely enjoy, but it took me a few listens for it to grow on me.

Superblood is straight garbage, and it makes me sad.

I'm convinced the producing/mixing/whatever is the problem with Lightning Bolt. Saw them in concert when that album was released and that was the only time I enjoyed those songs. They had so much energy to them. Went to listen to the album afterwards and nothing.

Maybe, cause like, some of the songs I feel like could be decent, they're just missing something vital, and I never know what that something is.

The songs sound phoned in on the album. Fantastic live. It's the only album of theirs I don't listen to and/or love.

Pretty much same; I'm honestly not a big fan of Binaural or the Avocado Album, but even then I have a few songs off them on my playlist.

Backspacer I have a mixed relationship with; all the songs are solid, but they're all so short you just blow through the whole album so quick.

Their first 5 albums are still fucking phenomenal and I listen to on repeat.

I also have a mixed relationship with Backspacer. While all the songs are good, most of them don't have a ton of replayability for me.
