Avacodo is more direct and in your face.....

Absolutely no jamming on backspacer...all short songs......short choruses, short hooks....NO JAMS......

Cant compare either of the 2 to the almighty Vitalogy......or its older brother VS.....THOSE ARE CLASSICS THAT BELONG ON THE TOP, TOP SHELF!

Agree with you 100%, nothing will compare to the two V albums.

Avocado had very poor production, and had poor songs (with the exception of Army Reserve, Unemployable, Marker and Come Back). It's not gonna be too hard for Backspacer to own its arse.

My favourites are No Code - Yield - Binaural

Not even close my friend....NOT EVEN CLOSE

Sorry chief, but Avocado was the suckiest suck that ever sucked. :P

Backspacer is soft, and delicate....

Avocado is mean, loud and fucking angry!

MARK MY WORDS...THER ARE GOING TO BE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE AVOCADO MORE AFTER THEY HEAR BACKSPACER!

Eddie's a folk hero now and I think now more than ever Eddie is control of the the band's direction...so quieter songs are to be expected. Back in 1994, Stone probably thought to himself "Eddie's a dick for trying to take over the band and never wanting to use my ideas." But now he probably thinks, "Thank god Eddie has taken over the band and has all these ideas we could use."

I think PJ realized their best albums start with that letter and that's why the put the V up on a pedestal for Yield.

There was a thread on here last week about the most angry PJ song.....

It isnt Not For You....
its Corduroy!

Call me a sceptic, but how do we know this guy has actually heard Backspacer? I've seen so much crap on the various message boards the past few weeks that i really don't buy that he's heard it.

And for the record i loved Avocado...a nice improvement over Binaural and Riot Act.

Have you heard the new album, b/c I've heard nothing from it that says its gonna be as great as Binaural.

Nope haven't heard it...and i never said it was "as great as Binaural". I said i prefered Avocado to Binaural.

I honestly dont get all the love for Binaural. Granted the "sessions" were amazing, but the band left off most of the great songs (Sad, Fatal, Education, Puzzles & Games), and the production on Grievance does not do it justice.

Oops... sorry :oops:

I still disagree. Binaural was the last of their "glory days" albums, imo. Everything since has been missin something in the guts of the tunes.

I agree the left some great tunes off, but there's still plenty to go around and I think puttin some less catchy tunes was part of the mo and really gels those middle albums together.

Psst.. Riot Act was better than Binaural.. pass it around. :idea:

I'm just happy that a) there is a new album and b) it seems to be different than the others
