    Is this really a neccasary thread? :)
    agreed

    this is like the 20th thread on here now bout this. it's getting old really fast. the mods should not only ban the trolls but also ban people who complain about them. all you are doing is feeding into them and giving them a laugh.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

  • All I'm saying is just stop fecking moaning about how the CD's shit, and you're disappointed etc and give it to someone who'll appreciate it (me).

    Not encouraging it at all.

    I don't think you can ban people for airing their views - but I do agree the maoning is getting tiresome.

    I'm just giving the moaners an alternative.

    There does seem to be an abundance of negativity here - even the two replies I've had to this thread (intended as a light-hearted jibe at those bemoaning about their disappointment of Backspacer) have been negative.

    Sometimes you just have to laugh in the face of adversity.

    As you were...

    and the people like yourself complaining bout them is getting tiresome. go do a search and you will see 20+ threads exactly like yours. its like a back and forth bullshit. who cares what someone thinks. what matters is what you think bout it. opinions are like asshole everyone has one.

    the porch has gone to absolute pure fucking shit in the past week. this is the worse I've seen it in the 6 years (2 years as a guest)that I've been viewing this board.

    I'm not attacking you personally but enough is enough

    Sorry mate, but I think you're missing my point - I'm not the one moaning or complaining about them.

    I'm merely trying to provide a service - call in a Backspacer Benevolence, where I can give the unloved CD's a good home.

    Hardly moaning is it?

    the title of your thread is a bit misleading. sorry for the rant. I'm just really tired of this all to be honest with you and I'm sure alota people feel that way too.

  • No, not, not at all I'm in complete agreement with you. I've not been a member on here long - and unfortunately my timing has coincided with the Backspacer debacle, but I'm sure this place is a far more positive and welcoming place usually.

    Its almost like this. But people are to protective of Pearl jam too, give people the right to be negative... not just worship. Or worship and be negative at the same time :)

    You have a point of course, but as with many things in life - people are only too willing to complain about something rather than provide praise.

    How many people would complain in a restaurant if something was wrong, quite a large proportion I would imagine - yet I guarantee that far fewer would praise the chef if everything was great.

    Maybe a bad analogy, but hopefully a simple one to illustrate my point.

    I would expect members of a Pearl Jam forum to be protective of the band - that's only natural, but I think (like many it would seem) that the negative feedback is disproportionate to the general feeling about the album.

    Having yet to hear Backspacer I cannot comment one way or another on what I think of the album, but rest assured if I like it (which I probably will) I'll be singing it's praises from on high.

    If I'm disappointed with the album (which I'm hoping I'm not) I don't think I need to express my opinion on here and add to the negativity surrounding what is, after all - the culmination several years work for the guys.

    All discussions are welcome proivided they come with some substance and have a little focus.

    If you write something like 'Eddies voice is shit' and leave it at that, its not entirely going to sit well with many here. Or if you say Eddie sounds tired and out of it, you have to appreciate many are gonna take some exception to that, not only beacuse this is a pearl jam fan board - so that follows most here will like Pearl jam, but given that the majority of threads here are full of praise for the current album, you will find people are not going to welcome it. If however an intelligent discussion was thrown in, you are likely to get a lively debate.

    so in this example if you say what it is that is wrong with the voice in your opinion, and provide an argument....folk will be receptive.

    Seriosuly though coming here with a blind comment such as backspacer is the worst album ever, is not going to win you new friends, or support. To me thats obvious, and doesnt boil down to over praise, or 'worship'....its plain and simple common sense.

    in the same sense coming here and saying the tenclub are a shoddy bunch who dont give a shit about the fanbase, is not gonna sit right with the majority. Although you will always get the few who claim you are just an ass kissing tenclub worhipper and that you should see they dont give a shit. Its often a no win.
