(ill preface this with knowledge of my exrtemely high standards for pj)meh, thats my original feeling right after ive listened to it three times now,starts off strong real strong with gonna see... got some(my favorite song so far)andthe fixer but then seems to lose direction after that, still a decent album but like s/t doesnt have great flow or purpose, johnny guitar is a song that will probably grow on me as i listen to it more, just breathe is a beautiful song, amongst the waves was the one song besides got some and the end that i was really excited for and its just ok, maybe im just sick of water and ocean references in almost all of their songs lately, unthought known,meh ok tune,supersonic most of us had already heard andi like it fun fast song, speed of sound is another ok track along with force of nature just pretty forgettable and maybe im noticing as much as i love matt cameron maybe hes too much of a good thing it seems with matt pj tries to cram too much music into their songs and it crowds up the flow of their mojo, maybe its just me, but the final take, the end is another cool ed song as always pj has always had great bookends with their albums and the end leaves you wanting more, again no terrible political songs here, the worst backspacer tracks are still quality tracks, just not much ooo and aaahhhs here i think got some and just breathe will be the follow up singles,i give it 3.5 outta 5 stars, peace.

:roll: okay.
kind of hard to tell since you dont give a descripton to any of the songs except a song we have already heard. ( supersonic ) . because of that many people are going to call bullshit here.
anyway, I'm sure it will grow on you.
peace.Peace, Love.

I'm trying to count the number of periods in that review and I see nary a one except for the 3 you used
becuase you were too lazy to type out the rest of a song title.
You do seem to have a love affair with the comma though.we're all sentient snowflakes0 -

nothing i guess, besides not really giving us any information on the songs .
thats cool though. but to just say " name of song " meh dont really say much at all does it ?
he/she basically just named all the songs on the album, but didnt really give us any info other than " meh ".
like i said , thats fine........ but.........Peace, Love.

I find it hilarious that you just reviewed album snippets. I cant believe what I just read. Something along the lines of...Song Name, meh. Supersonic, fast and fun. Ridiculous.0 -

who said anything about stealing music? i work in the music biz and am 100% against stealing music, but if backspacer leaked today i'd be jamming it tonight. of course ive already pre ordered the cd and will also buy the vinyl. with most pj fans, especially on the porch, it's called listening early, not stealing. 99% of porch members will buy the cdFurther back and forth a wave will break on me, today...0

What if I have bought the CD through 10C and will also buy the vinyl version. Then I'll also pay 2 bucks for track through the Rock Band store. Does that also make me a dirt bag if I download a leaked version?2003: San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Seattle; 2005: Monterrey; 2006: Chicago 1 & 2, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Detroit; 2008: West Palm Beach, Tampa; 2009: Austin, LA 3 & 4, San Diego; 2010: Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbus, Indianapolis; 2011: PJ20 1 & 2; 2012: Missoula; 2013: Dallas, Oklahoma City, Seattle; 2014: Tulsa; 2016: Columbia, New York City 1 & 2; 2018: London, Seattle 1 & 2; 2021: Ohana; 2022: Oklahoma City0 -

If he got a hold of the songs, and gave that review, that makes it about 3 times worse. If he really heard the album and then wrote that out hes a complete idiot.0
