That's what I'm feeling.

I would love to read a write-up defending that song.

It's terrible or it doesn't fit?
I think it's actually quite good as a song.
Decent song, not a PJ song, only a mild improvement on the solo version; and by fucking terrible, I mean it's fucking terrible being on LB and in the big picture of the album it sucks and is really odd.

If this is the beginning of some sort of Backspacer revival or Backspacer not being the new album anymore (so now its good!).....pleawse, just stop. Nothing will ever make that dumpster fire of an album not suck.

LB has Sirens and FD, which to my ears sound like two of the worst songs this band has ever written... and i'm still not willing to defend BS.

LTRP wouldn't be bad played at a loud bar. A VERY loud bar.

No Avocado kicks ass. It's in my top 5. I do wish they'd remaster it though. It's way too loud and shrill.

Maybe a bar where Patrick Swayze is the bouncer.

Does this album have any Matt Cameron writing credits at all?
