    maybe so, but I for one still miss Jack.

    No Code and Yield were unreal.

    I miss Jack too, and think he was the perfect drummer for PJ.

    BUT

    I do have to say, this is the most comfortable and natural the band has sounded since Matt joined. The album feels as effortless as the last 3 have sounded forced.

    I agree but I think there's some real Matt Jeff man love going on there awesome bass line for this album they have really bounced off each other.

    and as far as PJ drummers go Matt's the shit take a big wiff ;)

    This is a good point. It's not just Matt making BSpacer his bitch. It's the whole rythym section.

    I love Yield and No Code to and I think Jack brought some great things to the band, but...

    I became a fan when I was 13 back in 1998. Matt is really all I've ever known. And let's be honest, other than Matt, no drummer has been with PJ longer than 3 years? Matt has been here for 11? Come on, Matt is Pearl Jam's drummer, end of story. He might not be the best drummer of all time, but he is an extremely solid rock drummer, and I am thrilled he has lasted this long, and hopefully he is the last drummer the band ever has.

    the matt/jeff man love has been going on since 98. i bet jeff is happy to have a drummer that can keep up with him.

    I threw my back out during that one drum fill in "Gonna See My Friend"

    You are right. He might. I mean, he is probably my favorite drummer of all time, if that means anything?

    Def hit it right on the head - was listening to Binaural on my commute home, and while I love that album and think Matt sounded excellent on it, this (Backspacer) was one of the first times where he really "blended" in with the band, really meshed with their overall sound...which of course is big props to him, and I'm sure he'd tell you this is one of the biggest compliments we could be offering him. Way to go Matt! :D

    LOL. To each his own, I suppose. But Dave A. is such a minor leaguer compared to Matt.

    MINOR LEAGUER? LOL... sorry, but Dave simply made every song sound better live. His playing had so much groove.

    Matt still can't get the damn tempo for Even Flow down =/ He sounds like a robot behind the kit sometimes. He was much better in Soundgarden.

    Hilarious.

    maybe ever think its also the guitarists that hace chagned the groove? and the bass player? or do you think they just feel they are superior to cmaerona nd embarrased they dont want to mention to cameron that he should be playing the "groove" differently?

    I dont get people

    but to each their own

    I'll admit. Dave never met a splash cymbal he couldn't bash the fuck out of ad nauseum.

    I mean, I don't hate the guy. But he was like a big dumb animal behind the kit. I prefer a more cerebral approach.

    It's not too hard to understand. I prefer Dave's style of playing to Matt's.

    Yay!

    why is dave always dragged into these convos? can't the focus just be on matt sometimes?

    Yeah, that's what I was kind of wondering. Dave's not coming back.
