The Fixer (Backspacer, 2009)


The second group up there would be in the bottom half of any other album for me.

The bottom 5 here would rival the bottom of the barrel (i.e. last) for any other album for me.

You certainly are strong in your convictions, sir.

I fucking love backspacer.

Backspacer is good. It's certainly not as bad as most on here make it out to be.

Backspacer is fucking awful.

Hard album to rank, i dont consider any of those between my faves, and the only songs i regularly feel like listening to are Got some and speed of sound, but i dont really think any of these songs are awful. (the bottom 2, maybe 3, are close, but i still enjoy them sometimes), and 3-7 are nice songs i guess.
Still, this is by far my least fave album by Pearl jam.

I like Lightning Bolt less, I think, but ranking them always feels like an academic process. They're both just kind of there.

This is the correct way to describe it. You have a deep understanding of this album that I believe I agree with.

Do you really have to guess?

Time to rank the Track 9's on all of the albums. This really looks like a weak spot, for me at least.

Get Right (Riot Act, 2003)
Rats (Vs., 1993)

Lukin (No Code, 1996)
Bugs (Vitalogy, 1994)
Gone (Pearl Jam, 2006)
Garden (Ten, 1991)


Really Grievance is the only great song in the group.

Yeah, not the best one, the first 2 songs are great, and gone and speed of sound are 2 songs I really enjoy, even if most people dont. The rest is just kind of there for me, between my least faves from their respective albums.
