Backspacer is like a hot chick that is real exciting to get with the first few times.
But once you get to know her you find out she is shallow and kind of dumb.
Also, she will not age well.
This is not a great album once you get past the initial excitment of a new pearl jam CD.
We need more riff driven songs from the boys!!!
NM the hate from all the kiss asses on this forum. Glad to see another opinion on the album.
It's too early for me to agree with you but I see where you are coming from. I love the new album and think its great but those are the same feelings I had about S/T when it came out. With the exception of a track here or there, I wouldn't find myself actively listening to that album anytime soon.
I HOPE you're wrong, but you just might be right.

Two of my favoirte tunes and probably 2 of yours. At the least you can admit that most of the 9 million people who bought Vs. love those songs and all they do is repeat the same silly line over and over again. You either aren't listening to Backspacer with an open mind if you are complaining about the lyrics. Not liking the songs is one thing, but not seeing how great Ed's lyrics are on this album is rediculous.
End of thread right there. You rule.

No. Backspacer is a gorgeous woman who knows just what her man has been needing for a long time. And she can deliver.
At first she seems like she is a real ditz, but then she starts talking foreign policy and shows she understands the ways of the world.
She's the type of woman you could take home to Mom. But just when you think you have her pegged, you catch your dad checking her out and getting just a wee bit jealous of you.
She even is the type of woman you fear might run away some day. But she is right there waiting for you, telling you you're her man, and looking more beautiful than ever.
Yeah, Backspacer is like that perfect woman you meet after getting out of a bad relationship. It's just what you need.

I like this one. Better than I could have come up with in the metaphor category. "she starts talking foreign policy and shit!"

You're wrong. Backspacer is smoking hot, and she can do rocket science. If you think this album is "shallow," you aren't paying attention.
you're right...songs where there are clearly a formula with very little variation aren't hollow at all.
"when something's ... i wanna ..." X20, followed by YEAH YEAH YEAH
and "got some if you need it" 20X
lyrical genius, i tell ya

What you giving?
Putting a melody to a lyric or vise versa is actually pretty effin hard. You cant judge the whole album by The Fixer and Got Some. Those are the radio tunes that get that hot slut into your bedroom then they hit you hard with the rest of the album. Its very deep if you ask me.
No, Backspacer is like a really hot chick that i assume is an airheaded idiot, but actually turns out to be deeper than i gave her credit for. Being insanely hot, she isnt THAT deep, but still.
but then just as i'm falling for her, the bitch loses interest and decides to go make out with some douchebag across the bar in a pink polo shirt and popped coll....oh wait im getting away from Backspacer here. never mind. bad experiences.

This is an excellent point. I mean, I can't stand the Black Eyed Peas, but it's never occurred to me to head over to their message board to announce my hatred.

Hey, if you ever do decide to do that, though, and you need a wingman ...

Being a fan doesn't mean blindly agreeing with or loving everything the band does.

Yeah I sort of feel the same way. But the artwork and liner notes are awesome.
