It’s got some perfectly mid-tier songs on it, a lusher sound than the records around it, a bunch of corn (“one man stands alone, awaiting” is only a lyric if you are Dio), an 80’s leotard exercise track that woulda made a great Weird Al food song in its day, and it doesn’t last very long.

AMAZING.
You know how I said there was I couple of tracks I didn't quite connect with yet?
Forget I said that, this album is spectacularly brilliant.
If Backspacer was a woman, I'd want to be a polygamist.
I have NO criticism. None.
Do you have a file somewhere where you save quotes you'll want to use later?

Most empirical data point to Lightning Bolt being the superior album, compared to Backspacer.
