I didn't appreciate Speed of Sound till I heard it live in Ottawa in 2016. It's really a lovely song.0

Love this record. Right album, right time of life, more than the right impact for me @ a time when I so desperately was looking for something to help me harness what I was feeling.
Forever thankful to Pearl Jam for this record.
I understand many do not love it....but then again I usually place Binaural and Riot Act at the bottom of my 10 album rankings....and I know that makes people lose their fucking minds.
I love them both but I love the other 8 just a bit more usually.
To each their own!
Backspacer, thank you!

Pearl Jam has never made a bad album. Backspacer included. Sure, it's short and the songs are more poppy, radio-friendly, however you want to describe them, but they don't lack substance. They're not bad - not by any stretch. I don't care what anyone says, it's a great album!

The Fixer is poppy Pearl jam at their best. Even the chorus is defiant. Fight to get it back again. Love that line.0

Backspacer is probably my least favorite studio album, but I'm with the last few posters on The Fixer- it's easily one of my favorites on that album. If you take it for what it is and don't over analyze anything, it's just a solid song. It's probably not going to change many lives, but it is what it is. Got Some, The Fixer, Speed of Sound, Force of Nature, and The End are the tops of that album for me.0

Digital LP Side 2 on now...
"...and evidence that you're worth keeping"
Love the way the drums on this record sound.

I like most of it. johnny guitar, got some, the fixer, gonna see my friend, just breathe, unthought known, supersonic and the end. all good songs. I think unthought known is my big takeaway from the album.
Can't believe it's been 8 years though... still feels like a new album.

I really like Backspacer after all these 8 years. No issues for me. I think it is a short fun filled action packed recording with some cool cover art. An astronaut playing drums in space? What could be cooler?????0
