Joe Buck introduced it and then kept talking over it but the part I heard was cool. It was a nice surprise. I had to DVR the game since I was not home glad I kept watching till the end credits.
Sounds like it could have been an Avocado b-side...is it ok to have been not crazy about it? Or is everyone gonna stone me to death for that?
For god sakes have some discretion, people. Just because it's Pearl Jam doesn't mean it's gold. I hope it is, but I'm realistic when something's not great.
It was too hard to hear it to properly judge it, in my opinion.
It's impossible to judge a song based on 25 seconds of clips but I like what I'm hearing so far. The production is just classic Brendan O'Brian (good vocal mix/tight bass and kick). With Avocado and now Backspacer it seems like the band is moving in a more uptempo/hook driven direction but with the same non-cliche chord structures and interesting time signatures we've come to expect from the band over the last 10 years or so.
So this life is sacrifice...

All 30 secnds of this clip were stuck in my head when I woke up this morning...I found myself singing:
"If I could get it back again...yeah yeah yeah yeah"
and that's a good thing.
The song sounds more like a cousin to "Unemployable" than to "World Wide Suicide"
-not sure where Alan Cross heard the WWS tie in-
Anyways...It's a different kind of single from the band
It's got a catchy hook to it and should do well on the radio...but then again...you never know with these damn kids these days.
Are the lyrics "If I could get it back again..." OR "I'd fight to get it back again..." ???? Living in an apartment, I wasn't able to turn it up loud enough to make out the correct lyrics.
when exactly did they play it, I DVDrd it because I dont like baseball and since I didnt know when they would play it I wasn't sitting through the whole to wait
Was it at the beginning? the end? during the game?

f the neighbors!
i'm pretty sure it's fight to get it back again
i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam
Is there any clarity on the lyrics... I'm dying to know how the lyrics tie to the title...
It's probably best to wait until we hear the whole song before we can make that call. But yea I'm interested too. My first impression would be that the "meaning" is quite simple (and that's not a bad thing). It sounds like the protagonist of the song is seeking to get something back that he's apparently lost - i.e., "fix" something that's been wronged. Making him somewhat of a "fixer." That is a pretty lame description, I know, but the best I can do with what we got. The song sounds great though, been stuck in my head all morning.
And thanks for the clarification DPrival - I was betting on "fight to get it back again..."
From the little clips I heard, I don't like it. But that means nothing without hearing the full version.
Love Got Some and The End (haven't heard anything else) but The Fixer isn't doing it for me yet.
Im the opposite of you. I like the little I have heard from the The Fixer and dont like Got Some at all. Not really that crazy about The End. I do like Unthought Known. Speed of Sound is ok.

I thought it sounded kind of bland, the singing sounded too much like on avocado (which I don't like Eddies vocals on) and it sounded like they had played around with effects on Eddies voice.
Bet the full song will blow me away though.

Consider me stoked! Got Some and this little snippet has me pretty juiced. Glad I only got the snippet thus far though...hoping to hear it on the radio next week. I'm totally changing my approach to this record this time. Not reading any reviews or listening to any songs other than what the band puts out there...will make getting the album at the store that much sweeter I think.
