WALK THROUGH THE CITY BY MODERN SPEED

Imagine if Pearl Jam never played with distortion. Imagine that they only played with airy reverb and set their phasers to stun.

​Got it? Good.

Okay, now imagine if you extracted all of the gravel and rocks in the rock tumbler that is Eddie Vedder’s throat, leaving only that really smooth mud.

Can you imagine it? Cynics might say, Andy, you have taken everything that defines Pearl Jam and completely changed it. That’s like saying a man is attractive if he only had a different face, a different body, and a different personality.

All fair criticisms.

To be honest, if it were only based on those aforementioned criteria, I’d call you crazy. Until I heard “Walk through the City” by Modern Speed. "Walk through the City" takes the unlikely scenario spelled out above and makes it a reality. If you can look me in the eyes and tell me I’m wrong after you listen to it, then you can fight me.
