Backspacer: Official Album Thread

[Hatfield]

When did they play Mother on TV?

I remember Ed sounding terrible.

2011

What was difficult to accept was that it seemed like Ed's voice was getting better each tour from 1998 to 2006. You saw some cracks in 2008, but I chalked that up to a short tour and then in 2009 it fell off.

I really enjoyed his voice on Backspacer though. BB got the best out of Ed, sans the day he recorded Just Breath with a cold.

flotsam, if you need it

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Dim sum, if you need it!

I've probably said it somewhere in the last 70 pages, but Johnny Guitar is one of the best things this band has done since Yield.

More like Yawny Guitar, amirite?

You are the exact opposite of right.

I've been listening to Speed of Sound regularly for the last few days. I can look past whatever melodramatic insult that can be hurled. What gets me is the ending and then that shitty guitar tone on Force of Nature. WHY?!?!

Ever notice how the final moments of Force of Nature sound just like the final moments of November Rain?

I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the final moments of Force Of Nature

Force of Nature as a song is great, but the production is ass and Ed's vocal is not the best. It would have absolutely soared on Yield.

I wish I liked Force of Nature more. And man how I've tried.

Force of nature is great. One of the best on there and best in this part of their career
