    I loved this album and tour...it was soooo fun and Unthought Known is in my top 10 by them. It's sooooo good live.  Agree that Force of Nature is an awesome song too and Just Breathe is beautiful even if it got stolen by Willie Nelson for a while.  I'm glad Ed has reclaimed it for live shows because it hits the heart.  I also could leave Fixer off as in never need that one again, sorry Matt. I also think The End is one of the worst they've closed an album with and it's so dam depressing.  We lost a few near and dear to cancer and that one hurts to listen to. Put it in the Fixer category for me.  Amongst the Waves is a must at shows near the ocean, and I swear Ed plays it following his surf sessions. Maybe Ohana next weekend!

    I've been on the "Force of Nature"-as-underappreciated train for a while now.

    They played "Just Breathe" from Austin City Limits on MTV Classic this morning.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Indeed. It's the only Pearl Jam album not available in 24Bit Flac-HD.

    cool tidbit on the artwork - there's art work on the cover for Pendulum, which didn't make the album (obviously)


    Wait...what?

    PS -- I still think the kid/guy in the train cartoon looks like Bobby Hill.

  • Force of Nature is so underrated and underplayed!
    Yes, best song on the album!

    Ι hope i never listen to the Fixer again in my life..
    Not this
    The Fixer is a great song.  For me anyway, I really love it.  I don't understand how people dislike it.  The whole Backspacer album is great.  Need more Johnny Guitar live too.  Another unique album in the PJ catalog, full of unique albums.  And I love that about Pearl Jam.

    Amongst The Waves at Ohana Fest please :prayer::rock_on:

    Johnny Guitar is kind of like Cropduster. Both should be played more.

    Any song about secret farting deserves more play
