Came across Live while reading the article:

Live – Sun (The Distance To Here, 1999)
Let’s just say this now; Live’s fifth album is absolutely terrible. The band we all loved from 1994’s Throwing Copper had doubled down on their very worst eco-psychobabble by 1999 on The Distance to Here. Most of it is utterly forgettable, which is actually preferable to songs like The Dolphins Cry, which sound like Russell Brand’s character in Get Him to The Greek doing African Child. The sole bright spark is the Vs-era Pearl Jam swing of Sun, which reminds us of how good they used to be.

Out of all the songs I'm suprised they picked Sun. That was one song that seemed really good until Ed ruined it with his high pitched screaming over and over. Could have been one of their best songs.

Live isn't even grunge, it's alternative sometimes called "post-grunge". Sun isn't grungy in the slightest either. This stephen hill guy is a clown who must not know what he's talking about. A quick look at wikipedia would have saved this guy some embarrassment here.
