Backspacer: Official Album Thread

Don't you try and compare this crap to the likes of Happy When I'm Crying.

Happy When I'm Crying is crap.

An album where, if it didn't exist, would make the PJ catalogue incomplete. It fulfills the years long promise that all of their fun punchy b-sides over the years made, going all the way back to dirty frank or yellow ledbetter to leaving here and leatherman. I can't imagine it not existing and their career is all the better for it. Suck on that.

I'm totally on board with this. PJ needed to make this record

[McParadigm]

I'm increasingly certain that PHATJ is here to remind me what it was like to live in a college dorm in the 1990's.

[Norah]

Dude drives a benz though.

[McParadigm]

...on his way home to post about Super Mario, yes.

No bad thing to him. It's just PHATJ Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. That's all.

[Norah]

Birds were talking.

Can you further explain this so I can try to understand what you are talking about? Maybe include an example or two.

I still love the fuck of Got Some.
The rest of the album is just there, I dont dislike it but I dont think Ill ever feel the urge to listen to it.

[Daniel Bryan]

I like the record. It's fun, its brisk, its nothing spectacular.

Unthought Known, Speed Of Sound, Force of Nature, and The End are all winners imo.

Still hate Got Some, though. My opinion has never changed on this. It is such mediocre drivel.

Listened to Backspacer today.
It's aged well. Great little record.
Supersonic is a load of fun and Force of nature, which I'll never understand why it's buried at the back end.

I think I agree with most of this. Which is kinda scary. Not sure I'd say "Great" though.

Well it sounds like pearl jam and a comfortable place in the writing. It's a much more naturally Pj album whereas lightning bolt sounds a bit forced or even contrived.

Sounds true.

[dimejinky99]

It's too soon for a renaissance to happen to us all for Backspacer.
I reckon a lot of people will like it for what it is once they've gone back and listened to it again.

[LetMeSleep]

After another shite album BS will start to be appreciated.

[BurtReynolds]

i changed my mind: I want to go back to talking about Star Wars.
