"Light Years is a confused look at why someone so special had to pass on. It was written with a dear friend of the lyricists in mind; someone who seemed to bring joy to those who knew them. It is about the questions and regret left over after a loss. It is truly special. I would have given this 5 stars, but the sound quality on the two live tracks leaves a little to be desired. Grievance is a powerful rocker full of emotion with a driving bass line, and yet, the drums do not seem full, and Jeff is all but missing from the recording. Still very good, but not great."
Great Live B-sides

"Obviously, you've heard the song 'Light Years,' so there's no sense in talking about that...but the live version of 'Grievance' makes this single more than worth it...more energy and punch than the album's version, this song really flies live. And the timid little version of 'Soon Forget' is quite charming in itself. Another great Pearl Jam single..."
