I'd love if Pj went a lot more atmospheric. Get Jonsi in. Deffo.

I feel like Jonsi would somehow be tainted if he joined PJ. They shouldn't collaborate, I like Jonsi to stay musically pure.dimejinky99 wrote:I'd love if Pj went a lot more atmospheric. Get Jonsi in. Deffo.

I really don't have a problem with Bacspacer. Not great, not awful. Just Breath should've benn just Ed on guitar, maybe with Jeff on stand up. Speed of Sound also should've stayed the demo version.
Other than that its just fine to me.

Re: Lets Actually Listen to the Album: Backspacer
Listening to Summerteeth right now I'm thinking that this is how Speed Of Sound should have sounded. Including a gorgeous instrumental outro. Now I'm sad it does not sound like that.
