I don't really care for their solos, so I prefer when they either skip them or use them as sort of interludes. The more "rock solo" it gets, the more unremarkable it becomes.
So much this. As much as I crap on Backspacer, it's an album of few solos. I like that, especially in songs like "Got Some". Also, like chud / spenno said, I Stone solos.

You just uncovered an element of that record that I liked and never recognized.

For that reason, it's a pretty interesting Mike album. Next time you listen, focus on Mike. It's still a meh album, but that particular aspect is kinda cool.

Isn't there an interview where they talk about this? About how BOB told Mike to think about "patterns" on the guitar, rather than licks or solos? I have this recollection for some reason...

Take it to the weed thread bub.
I have no defense.
Smoke a bowl and listen to Backspacer. (I have to be getting stip points for this, right?)

There is no drug that could redeem Amongst the Waves.
Unless there's a drug that can target and delete specific memories
Backspacer. Oh how I adore Backspacer. When someone says they don't like Backspacer I know one of two things have to be true. Number one, They are a liar. Number two they didn't like the sitcom Taxi.

I'm a complete idiot and actually searched for where the whole "patterns" thing came from (I remember something along those lines too). I couldn't find anything until I rewatched the Backspacer making-of promo and it turns out that Edward Vedder talks about Mike doing some of his best work playing "patterns" for the album.
Stone solos.
