    I often listen to BS in the car. it's a great cruising record! And while I don't like the cheese of Sirens, I don't get that from Just Breathe. I think it's a really good song. 

    SoS demo is amazing. Love it. 
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

    I like this album a lot, some fun memories of being in Seattle and going to the listening party at Easy Street records on a Saturday night, two days before their shows in Seattle. Anyone else go to it?

    Didn't make it to Easy Street however we did pick up BS south of Bellingham, WA. maybe was Burlington on the Sunday afternoon run down from Vancouver and crammed in all the listening we could. First 10c experience and first full PJ shows, only prior was Honolulu with U2(and we were hooked). Great seats 
    on the wings Stone side night 1, Mike side night 2. We were blown away by the whole experience then we made our 
    way home to Vancouver for the Friday night show, picked up our tickets about 8:00 PM cast a quick glance and thought our luck had run out, we're Row 36 seat 1 etc on the floor. Well a closer look revealed the tix to be ROW 1 seat 35 and 36 right in front of Stone. What a week and yes fond memories of BS' release and still enjoy the album today.

    Under-appreciated and often overlooked by the masses.  It's a great album!

    Amongst The Waves is my favourite song by the band since In Hiding. I got goosebumps listening to it in the record store (pre order hadn't come yet) and spun it over and over again. The last few notes in Mike's solo are just perfection, and when Ed screams "Laaaayyyaaaateeeee"...holy shit that's a Vs scream. Amazing.

    Top six PJ album for me

    -love The Fixer.  A good PJ song is a good PJ song. Nothing wrong with being catchy.  Amazing defiant chorus.  

    There’s only 2 songs i dont care for. Thats pretty good.   I have it above all of their 2000s albums.

    One album has to be the worst.  This one is it for me.

    Funny that my (now 19) daughter still calls that her favorite PJ album.

    I distinctly remember my daughter and her teen friends seeing The Fixer on vh1 a bunch and telling me how badass Pearl Jam was.  That was really fun.
