Jeff Ament's Gods' Dice, about being controlled by a higher power, is pretty basic but makes good use of the band's ability to make big, powerful music for an energizing straight ahead song like No Code's Hail Hail. Insignificance is fairly routine hard rock, but it has good, angry lyrics. The other rockers are not very exciting or much fun. Vedder's writing is pretty routine. On Evacuation, things are getting so bad that it's time to flee.
Evacuation is an O.K. rocker with a sledge hammer guitar riff but it never really goes anywhere.
Breakerfall is a hard rocker. Animal with a little Who Are You thrown in. It has a decent riff but not much nuance. Breakerfall is mostly Vedder's rant. He acts like he's saying something very meaningful but the entire content of the lyric is, a girl's romantic problems makes her hate the world and only love can make things better.
