The demo is nice, but it sounds like another "Into the Wild" outtake instead of a Pearl Jam song and the album already has "Just Breathe" and "The End" which seem like EV solo songs. I love what the band did with "Speed of Sound" particularly the drumming from Matt, as it is absolutely counter to what you might expect and what 90% of drummers would do. I think the song greatly benefits from what the rest of the musicians brought to it.
The demo is beautiful and haunting (as someone pointed out earlier), I think it could've have been put on the album as is. The Album version is ok but a couple weeks after BS came out I went back and listened to the demo and was blown away. Ed sounds so vulnerable in the chorus, so much better than the album version. Matt's drums leave a lot to be desired too I think, how about mixing in some brushes and giving it a Thumbing my Way feel?

What he said. Nice. Agree 100%.
I think the release of the demo really ruined it for a lot of people once they heard the more polished album version.
I like the album version, but I like the simplistic, haunting, passionate acoustic demo version much better.
Oh well, I like both.

I find myself jamming out to the album version. I find myself getting lost in the demo.. there is no clear winner for me.
