    i loved S/T when it came out ... after first listen, I called it PJ's best in years. and now, Backspacer comes out and IT becomes PJ's best in years.

    suffice to say, the last two albums have been fuckin awesome.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    I pretty much feel the same way. But I keep seeing a lot of comments on here like: "Avocado hasn't aged well" and "S/T sounded forced... "

    I don't get it. Self-Titled is amazing, IMO. This fact has not changed due to the release of BS.

    yeah, i'm with all of you. Binaural and Riot Act also were good IMO, but there seemed to be new energy in S/T that has only gotten better with B/S.

    Call S/T back and tell it we still love it, but it needs to stop being so competitive. It's got a new baby brother, that's all.

    I think "self-titled" and "backspacer" are like sister albums, and I love 'em both. I certainly hear a common thread between the two.

    yeah i have seen this "avocado hasnt aged well" bullshit... its only been out for three fucking years... call me in twenty and we'll talk about it aging well or not... everyone with the power of this forum bullshit is all of a sudden lester bangs
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    I agree.
    new album is good but can't hold a match to S/T or riotact.
    :D

    Yeah, and Riot Act called Self-Titled (with Lost Dogs on 3 way) and told S/T to STFU!!!
