So you skip 3 of the best songs instead of 4 of the worst songs?

Agreed. I just wish they played its best songs live more often.

Reminds me of the irrational hatred No Code got back in the day. It was " the worst one" for a long time..it was cheaper than the others!

Agreed. Although I also thought the Fixer was a fun tune, so who knows?

Hatred and vitriol might be a little strong when it comes to the description of backspacer opinions around here, but when there's that many disappointing songs crammed onto a 36 minute record, it's an easy target.
I loved No Code when it came out. But, I thought Who You Are was an awesome first single ahead of the album release, we had the album cut of Habit as its b-side, and live versions of Lukin, Red Mosquito, and Habit, too.
So, I had heard 1/3 of the album prior to its release. Plus Hail Hail, In My Tree, and Present Tense were all immediate favorites for me. Introspective and unique Pearl Jam was always my PJ of choice.

Nah he's right, I actually threw vitriol on someone's face once just because I thought they were humming The Fixer.

The only awful song on Backspacer is Supersonic.

I'd rather listen to FD *and* LTRP than Supersonic. I don't care about the generic Jack White breakdown in the middle.
