Although, Backspacer does have Unthought Known which is better then any song on Avo.
so true..
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Mach.. I love Avocado a lot and I mean a lot.. but
For me, in my humble opinion, now that Backspacer has really set in, I think it blows the shit out of Avocado. This album really stands out in my mind above the rest.
I like Pearl Jam better because it has higher highs. Backspacer is more consistent but nothing is as good as "Life Wasted" or "Severed Hand".
to my ears, backspacer is more consistent AND has higher highs - the slow-building emotional explosions of amongst the waves and unthought known give me much more of a tingle up the spine than anything on Pearl Jam. life wasted and severed hand are definitely two of the best songs on Pearl Jam, but to me they're in the solid rocker category -> and backspacer is full of those (gsmf, got some, johnny guitar...). i think it's awesome that you get your highs from the Pearl Jam album - that's the beauty of the band, different songs and albums appeal to different people. rock on.
