    Haven't heard Backspacer yet but this post kinda worries me...

    Wishlist is quite possibly my least favorite PJ song.

    not the biggest fan of wishlist, but what you wrote was very nice.

    made me smile.
    Peace, Love.

    If by Wanker he means greatest lyricist of all time, then yes I agree with him.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    No he does not mean it.
    Anyhow, two plays in and its growing on me and that does worry me! Usually it takes about 5 plays for a PJ album to hit the :D:D:D:D:D or :D:D:D:D:) as everyone of their catalogue has for me.

    I hope it grows on me after a few more listens, but I am stunned how good self-titled is after listening to Backspacer.

    It is simply the most knock you on your ass stunningly perfect record theyve made..i've never been as excited by any Pj release as I am with this one. It's solid, consistent, beautiful and it's FUN!!

    Pj's masterpiece? possibly too early to say but definitely in as a serious contender.

    10/10

    Got my copy in the mail last night. All I can say is Wow! After all the hype I gotta say I was a little worried, but Pearl Jam never lets us down. The album truly is a solid piece of artistic genious. I love Amongst the Waves and Supersonic. I just can't wait to hear it on vinyl.

    I think that is the new definition of Wanker according to the Webster Dictionary. (Bob Dylan X-mas cd October 13th!)

    Yeah ok. Cause the 9,000 other songs do not deserve credit.

    What? I was simply stating how excited I was for the new cd. I love all of Dylan's stuff. I downloaded 5 viruses onto my laptop last year looking for all 108 of the basement tapes (found them 3 months later :D )

    haha it's ok. I actually know a roadie so everytime he comes around here I get to go for free ( saw him 4 times since October '07). If you don't have the basement tapes I will gladly send them your way as well.

    bob dylan is an american icon and legend,
    end of story.

    and, we are using " wishlist" for a pearl jam barometer ?
    that is beyond horrible a choice,
    as much as i might enjoy wishlist and the big disco mirrorball.

    I was there! Took my girlfriend. We both love Mellencamp as well (been kind of OUR thing ya know). So it was like my birthday and x-mas all rolled into one. I thought Dylan sounded the best I've seen him. You could understand his voice more then usual. I was not a fan of Willie however.

    IMO Backspacer is prolly PJ's 3rd best album....Backspacer will be remembered as being to Pearl Jam what Quadrophenia is to The Who. By that, I mean it will be the greatest album they record that doesn't exactly sound much like the others but will be regarded as quintessential Pearl Jam.
