After listening to the Backspacer previews....

crazygeo

like I always said, if you don't like what you see, change the channel and walk away, everyone has their "opinion"

one's thought, is not always another's

boothead

come on guys. Fugazi is better then PJ? is that what someone is saying? I am not here to spread hate. I dont really even post on the forum but when I read that i had to say something. He/She is obviously joking or if not, just trying to piss some of us off but still.

To each their own....

I myself (as everyone knows) am not a fan of the last 2 albums. I havent listened to either of them for a long long time. The music on those albums just doesnt do a damn thing for me.

And after the Chicago shows I also came to the conclusion....

That the last 2 albums dont really do a damn thing for the band either....

What did they play.....ONE Riot Act song????

One or 2 Avocado songs????


That makes a Big Bold Beautiful statement as far as what the band thinks of those albums.....Right???

Good...give me your tenclub number and any other stuff that you want to give up. This album is going to be very good...their sound is progressing and I'll be along for the ride until their done!

the omission of songs from those albums does indeed speak volumes.

Actually they played 6 songs from Riot Act and Avocado over the two nights.. Given they now have nine albums to choose from, thats not that bad. 8-)

wow, that's crazy talk. i don't agree with a single thing you said. i think the clips sound incredible and this could end up one of pj's best albums.

After reading only the first sentence of your post...I can honestly say you have lost it. I didn’t bother to read the whole post with any of your arguments. I just read the first snippet and I easily made the assessment that the post was going to suck and you are wrong.

LOL!! i like it :-)

I'm all for the OP saying whatever he wants--he's just got to know that there's gonna be some backlash.

From what I have heard of the new album it sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear it in its entirety. There is always going to be people on here bitching about something. They can't please everyone. I personally also like Riot Act and self-titled...don't what all the fuss is about those 2 albums either. :roll:

Gmoney

i pretty much love all pearl jam, period.

I'm doing my best to not even pass judgment on the FULL songs we've heard - let alone snippets - until I hear it all ebb and flow from beginning to end of Backspacer. Based on the snippets, my theory is that this album will be more mellow than previous albums, and many will throw terms like 'washed up' and 'done' around. Thankfully, what others will inevitably say about this album cannot and will not sway me from my beliefs - be them positive or negative.

The lyrics are bad, Jeff Ament certainly doesn't think so........ By the way don't compare Fugazi that garage band bullshit crap to pearl jam!

you've obviously listened to a lot of Fugazi. Brilliant commentary there.

Even if the new album is a duffer, it doesn't mean PJ have lost it! All great bands who last for a while make at least 1 poor album - Stones, Who, Weezer, Lennon, Metallica etc. I've only heard the single and Got Some live and I'm avoiding snippets, youtube, downloads etc and awaiting the new album with relish.

What the hell is Weezer doing on this list?
