    I like it as it has these lines:
    Yeah I been thinking, I already know
    Nothing bout nothing, or so I have been told
    I�m not the paper, I�m more like the fold
    I cut the crease & put the shit in the whole

    This part of the song is aces!

    I like fun songs, but only when they either don't suck and are interesting (Dirty Frank, Bugs), or suck so much that it adds to the fun (Sweet Lew, Gremmie Out of Control). :lol:

    Love the song! Was spinning BS yesterday and forgot how awesome it was. Great fun song, love the Music and the solo. My favorite line by far is :

    "I'm not the paper, I'm more like the fold
    I cut the crease and put the shit in the hole"

    Just awesomeness!

    its officially the only pj song i will never like


    Same here.

    Someone posted that Stone wrote it, which must be why the beginning sounds so much like Mankind (which I love, by the way). I wonder if that was intentional, like it's the sequel to Mankind. Even though that still wouldn't make me like Supersonic.

    I prefer its more superior cousin, Mankind

    it is clearly a cousin of that song and far inferior

    I have never noticed that the beginning sounds like Mankind's (I also really like Mankind). Gonna have to listen for that. It definitely won't have an effect on how I feel about Super Sonic, but that's kind of interesting.

    They sound so similar that I first thought it was a joke. It changes quickly after that though. But of all PJ songs for me, and I like their punk rock songs, this one is near the bottom of the list.

    That I agree with, but not a fan of this particular song. What I think what make BS such a good album is the preciseness (wrong spelling, but too tired to do a spell check). I still think that JB and The End are two interrelated masterpieces. But I am a sucker for stripped down songs and strings, so.... Supersonic always felt a bit out of place here. Like they wanted to include a fast punk rock song near the and to soar the energy of the album, but for some reason - to me at least - this song is simply not that strong. It sounds too familair (Mankind) and the swift, for a lack of a better word. I think it is a tribute to the Ramones, in the same way Olé was.

    Supersonic wins over Olé though....

    I love PJ punk songs. This one is just ok for me. Probably my least favorite of this style but still a fun little punk tune.

    I like Supersonic, not crazy about it, but I like it, I enjoy listening to it, I heard it live in Buenos Aires 2011 and it was great, I like its strong guitars, its speed, I spun that B-side a lot while waiting for Backspacer...

    To those vinyl freaks, the real ones, with still good ear: is there any difference bewteen Supersonic and Supersonic 7? Thanks, javis
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    I hear you, although my list is longer than one song. There is one song that if mentioned, people's heads might explode, so to each his own.

    Middle of the road for me. I like it, just not my fav.
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    there are only 3 songs I don't like on Backspacer: The Fixer, Johnny Guitar and Just Breathe, I would give Supersonic a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10
