    I don’t understand people “shitting on” Backspacer but not Lightning Bolt. Backspacer is better.

    Disagree....my opinion of course and I like that you consider it better.

    It is the lowest ranked album to me. LB not too far above but Infallible and Pendulum put it way over BS in my mind.

    It's hard for me to rank my favorite albums but the bottom are BS/LB/Giga with Giga being above BS/LB

    My point was simply that @CROJAM95 said people shit on Backspacer and I don’t get that. I apologize for speaking out ever so slightly against a Pearl Jam album.

    Backspacer is my favorite of the 21st century albums as a whole. It has several songs that get stuck in my head.

    If Backspacer is your worst album, and it has crowd favorites ( poppy, yes) like Got Some, Fixer, Just Breathe, Amongst the Waves, Unthought Known, Force of Nature...Your a pretty damn good band thats fighting against your own MEGA legacy

    enough said....something will always be labeled " best", " worst" ....human nature to put everything in a box

    it was a fun tour and the songs i mentioned always have a nice crowd reaction

    Take with a grain of salt. Would also appreciate if this doesn’t get posted outside here. If it does, it will be the end of me posting info. #deadserious

    from someone (not me) who has heard the album, they say it has vs. vibes. Now everyone might have a different definition of vs. vibes but that is what I was told. Recorded songs are old style pj. Album is finished but again, definition of finished can change from person to person
    wow. awesome.

    No need to troll. No need. Cameron C trolled enough for the rest of eternity with the music video.

    I will never understand the hate for Backspacer.  Easily the most accessible album with actual melodies and hooks over the past 15 years.  I can crank the first 8 songs and not have to skip one.  Can't say that about many of the other albums over the same time period.  Plus, Unthought Known always brings the live show up a notch.

    Don’t forget Gonna See My Friend. That song doesn’t get the love it deserves.
