    Life Wasted might be the most generic rocker they've ever written - does absolutely nothing for me.

    Big Wave is god awful btw. Its funny how when first released most people thought BS was a top 3 album for PJ, some even thought higher. Id say, bottom 3 for sure. Still good but for PJ....
    as i said to my friend recently when he asked how i like the latest PJ album:

    "it's Pearl Jam's worst album, for sure...but it's still my 9th favorite album of all time (or 10th if you count Lost Dogs)"
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    yes! that was the technicality for me. I couldn't honestly say that life wasted is better than that song.

    God.....Why do people love unthoughtknown? the song is awful and extremely overrated.....

    arguing which of these albums is best is like arguing which STD is the best to catch.

    I dont LOVE life wasted, but I think Gonna See My Friend is just as "rocking" and hard as life wasted. Avocado= nothing special as an album.

    god awful, yes.

    Really, the majority of Pearl Jam's catalog is better than anything off Backspacer.

    then again, Backspacer kicks Big Wave's ass. :shifty:

    it must be strange living in your world where Big Wave and Evacuation are great and Life Wasted is boring. where down is up and east is west and cows bark and blue is red. i really need to visit your strange land! :)

    I love it here in the ditch. It's a rougher ride but the music is more interesting.

    Seriously.. Not only JG is better than Life Wasted (that is just a decent song, the riff is very generic and "already heard"), but here I say it and here I confirm it: Johnny Guitar is one of the most original and kick ass songs of the past decade of Pearl Jam.. The rest of Backspacer is very good, but not as brilliant as this song..
    About self-titled, it's the weakest PJ album ever, but still good compared to most of the shitty music that is around today..

    Backspacer is a below par Pearl Jam album, Avocado is a good Pearl Jam album and Life wasted is a great track and kicks off the album in style.

    Unknownthought is a highlight of backspacer. One of the few songs I find myslef wanting to listen to on the album.
