How so? Also why are people including Betterman live? Is there bonus tracks or something? Remember when Backspacer came out and you could download 2 free gigs?

Do you think 'Infallible' has an appearance from Jay-Z?

Is there any leaky weather forecast today? because im feeling high pressure build up in me noggin!

Just listening to Riot Act, partly because its autumn, partly in the build up to the album... I used to get worked up defending this album, but now I feel sorry for the people that dont get it... you're missing out... Best of their latter day output followed by Backspacer.. and hopefully Lightning Bolt....

I'm looking forward to calling Lightning Bolt "album number 8", though. :hooray:

Backspacer is great, love it. I understand that people dont like it and their reasons why but it came out at the right time for me personally, just like Riot Act actually. Its a fun album that talks about making the most of the moment, so if you overthink the album you wont enjoy it. Its almost the point of it...You get more out of that album the less you put in to it :)

Someone should start a RM Pinterest for gems like this! It could also have a board with quotes.

Do people generally prefer Backspacer over S/T?

If so, I don't get it.
