The first single, "Mind Your Manners" follows up with upbeat punk rock in the background and a piercing metal guitar solo by Mc Ready. This one goes on the lines of religion too, circling around false righteousness."Sirens" has been called a power ballad but it's much more. McReady's instruments go perfectly in tune with Vedder's heartbreaking cry about losing his love and of the fragility of life.The fifth track, "Lightning Bolt" hits off with angry beats that kick you to life while Vedder's rich vocals tell you about a mysterious woman, a lightning bolt, who's like a meteor that can't be tamed even when she's ridden like an ocean wave.The album has a happy ending with "Future Days", penned down by Vedder. This song is about love going strong, about looking forward to future days together.
