"Dad rock" is the difference between Split Enz and Crowded House.

I can understand why people still have a problem with Backspacer, but S/T? Really? C'mon... I just don't get it. That's been my go-to PJ album ever since it came out. I'm not a huge fan of the slower second half once it hits Gone but the first 8 tracks just shred in a way that no other PJ album does. It's just a relentless attack up to that point.

And to dime's point, I remember constantly defending RA back in the day to comments like "Pearl Jam's done for", "this is the end of PJ as we know it", etc. And now it is kind of funny that I'm doing the same thing with Backspacer when everyone's saying things like "RA was the last great album they made". Ha ha, kinda funny. Do yourselves a favor and blast out GSMF really loud at some point today!

Someone should start a kind starter to have S/T remixed & mastered

It made me love ST as of yesterday. You can hear TONS of stuff that isn't there musically on the album. It's wonderful.
I'm not hearing any additional dynamics in these. Just sounds like rough mixes.

Everyone be nice to Backspacer while I'm gone.
Good luck. Backspacer rulz.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Dropping a track in favor of Betterman(Live)? you're getting better at this.
