Maybe if that solo was something more creative, more people would realise it isn't meant to be one.
Something more subtle and gentle would have been so much better.

Maybe we just replace Mike with Jonsi.

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.

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.

Backspacer is one of my favorite albums of all time. I love it.
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.

It's better than S/T, but that's not saying much.
