Why doesnt anyone like Speed of Sound?
I havent been on the board in quite a while. I am really surprised at the general reception to some of the songs on Backspacer..Seems like most everyone dislikes Speed of Sound. I thought this one would be at the top of most peoples lists. Just curious...what is that you dislike about it?

Because it's shitty. The album version is cheapy. Too many instruments without requirement. Overdone.

I agree. I was surprised to see that the album version wasn't just the demo with some strings thrown on. At the time I never have heard The End or Just Breathe from Ed's solo tours so I wasn't sure exactly which songs on BS would have strings. But after hearing the Speed of Sound demo, I was sure that would be one.

Ha, I can see it.
for me, Supersonic is a little lackluster, and when Speed of Sound starts after, It seems like its going to be a good slow PJ tune and pick the album back up, but it never gets there.
So why be satisfied?

People really love to hate and complain.
It makes them feel important and better about themselves.
SOS is a great song!
excellent, thanks
Oh, forgot to ask..are there more demos/bsides from Backspacer out there? I'm greedy, you see.
Of the three slow songs it is the one I like the best. I am not feeling the slow songs on this record. I always skip them. I like the drumming on "Speed of Sound". The lyrics to "The End" hit pretty close to home (according to my interpretation) which makes it hard to listen to based on what's going on in my life right now.
I like the rocking songs. I think "Force of Nature" might be their best song since "Do the Evolution". Great song.
Everyone has the demo because it was given away free with the "find the cover images" promotion.
just listened to the demo (thanks Ledbetterman). Quite nice. I can see how that version might have gotten your hopes real high. We'll see which one I end up liking better. A great song, no matter how its arranged in my opinion. This is the PJ song I've been waiting for since after No Code came out
