    It's Speed Of Sound for me - absolutely love it, and honestly much prefer it to the demo. The way it starts off, the way that simple drumbeat just comes in, the instrumentation, the arrangement - love everything about it. As someone who went through a tough breakup in the last 12 months, the lyrics are particularly poignant too - 'but this night has been a long one, waiting for..." etc.

    So yeah, Speed Of Sound ;)

    Seems to me Reading all the posts above that every song on backspacer is the best. Which goes to show what a good album it is.

    It's a fine album. Although I am not feeling Amongst The Waves the way others seem to be:
    My order would be as follows (Best to worst)

    1) The End
    2) The Fixer
    3) Got Some
    4) Unthought Known
    5) Just Breathe
    6) Johnny Guitar
    7) Supersonic
    8) Force of Nature
    9) Speed of Sound
    10) Amongst The Waves
    11) Gonna See My Friend
