    still not got past song 6... its not doing much for me i have to admit... just sounds 'good'

    I will have to really sit down one night with some red wine, my good headphones and play it on repeat 4 or 5 times... thats how i usually immerse myself into an album. Listening to it in the car for 3 songs each way probably wasnt the best wat to start off! :roll:

    I'm comparing it to music i've just bought again (The BEatles) which was recorded over 40 years ago.. and the Beatles stuff 'sounds' better... Backspacer just sounds like a nice loud fast record.. so far...

    It'll grow on me...

    I wasnt that taken with the Avocado album last time either... but i sort of got into it... still never play it these days though.

    still the best live band ever, but i'm beginning to wonder if the magic is wearing off for me?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It's certainly got a "different" feel to it. I like it, I'm not sure however, it will have the same lasting appeal as some of the earlier albums as there doesn't seem to be a great depth to it.

    There's been an alternative listing that someone suggested in one of the other threads that I'm going to give a try:
    1. Got Some 2. Supersonic 3. The Fixer 4. Gonna See My Friend 5. Just Breathe 6. Amongst The Waves 7. Unthought Known 8. Johnny Guitar 9. Speed Of Sound 10. Force of Nature 11. The End.

    Which looks quite interesting 8-)

    Got the album last night (from Sainsburys of all places!) and haven't stopped playing it.

    A couple of songs have brought me to tears due to recent events but I'm absolutely loving it! The only songs i'd say i'm suspect of are Johnny Guitar and Gonna See My Friend. I'll learn to love 'em though, i'm sure... hey, at least they're not Big Wave eh? ;)

    Just breathe, Speed of Sound and Amongst The Waves are favourite at the minute.

    /review.

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    It actually works pretty well, still not quite getting Unthought Known or Speed Of Sound but loving/liking the rest 8-)

    slight fever and a headache. :( day off though so not too bad. I just never get sick, so this blows. good thing this stuff usually goes past quite fast, so fingers crossed I'll be right as rain tomorrow.

    don't like the fact that I can't make it to Spanish class though. *thumbs down*

    edit: so is your snoozer a-okay now?

    Good morning lovely Rita :D

    I haven't seen ANY PJ on TV! :o Mind you, I hardly watch TV :oops: The nearest I've got to seeing any advertising is seeing 'Backspacer' in font 12 sized letters in the new releases list in Sainsburys... it's not even listed in Tescos... they have denied it's existence... that makes me sad. :(
