Yeah, that's weird, man. It's pretty universally loved around here. I think I'm the only one who has it at the bottom of the album. I think Pete is another one who said at one time that it was the only "good" song on the album.

I'm not a fan of Swallowed Whole. The only song I like less from LB is Sleeping By Myself.

Best- Gonna See My Friend, Pendulum

Worst- Let the Records Play, Getaway

Really? I love GSMF, and I love Getaway as well. I've always felt that if someone liked one then they would probably like the other.

I don't like GSMF at all. Getaway is much better.

Nah. GSMF actually sounds like great musicians caught up in a rumbling dervish of punk rock imitation. I remember Ed at the time talking about maybe wanting to make a punk record, which they didn't do, but I think 3 out of the first 4 songs on Backspacer come as close as they could now get.

Getaway is so far removed from what I like about this band, and GSMF, that I don't see how one could lump them together, other than they are both opening tracks. Getaway comes out so limp and frail and lumbers along and I just want it to end.

GSMF is really the only good song on Backspacer. Maybe Johnny Guitar too.

Getway isn't as good as GSMF, in my opinion.

Same.

I'm not a huge fan of Getaway either. It's ok, like a C+. I just don't like anything about GSMF. It is one of the least enjoyable uptempo songs in the entire PJ catalog.

Everything Kaius said.

ERRONEOUS! ERRONEOUS!
