Before listening to the album straight through for the first time the tracks I had heard were Fixer and Got Some.
As I made my way through Backspacer go to woah, the tracks that stood out were Just Breathe and Amongst The Waves.
I thought Johnny Guitar was interesting but couldn't get a handle on it the first time.
After a few listens I began to think it an interesting track and after bit longer I'm certain it's the best song on the album. It's blink and you miss it at under three minutes but this song contains the best grooves, riffs and vocals on Backspacer.
The innovative structure and unique melodies for each verse and chorus make it hard to follow and grow familiarity but after a while it I found it easy to pick up each bit of the song and they way they brilliantly complement each other.
"Oh yeah how I had been hoping
That when she came, she would come for me!"
Oh yeah.
Are you high?! Haha, just kidding! I myself can't for the life of me get into the song but power to those that can!
