this song is sick. ive never heard anything like it. this song, regardless of the rest of backspacer, is the period at the end of this sentence; pearl jam is the greatest band ever.
Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
I've heard it about 3 or 4 times through, the most recent being on the radio tonight while driving. listening to songs while I'm driving is when I can best get a feel for what I think about a song, and the conclusion is: I don't love it, I don't hate it. surely there will be other better songs on the record. I can see it being one of the songs I skip over. I'm just glad that Brendan O'Brien was back on board for this one and that the record has that going for it.
when i first heard "The Fixer" i wasn't crazy about it at all. I was expecting and aggressive song, riff driven and just plain nasty. After listening to it several times "The Fixer" has grown on me, i like the melody, chorus and its catchy for a single. The lyrics are simple but why does it have to be so complicated? Ed sounds happy almost relieved that a positive change is shaping our world. I'm not sure this song is going to catch on when you look at who's sitting at the top of the charts but who fucking cares anymore? I'm just happy they are still a band after all these years and making music that makes me feel something.

Very Well Said... I completely agree
