    yeah I hate it, I have been to 4 shows post Backspacer release & it's the only Backspacer song I have gotten, and I got it twice, always skip it, it's hardly up to their standards it's little league or whiffle ball, many of the songs on Backspacer are either much more advanced lyrically or musically, I always skip it along with Johnny Guitar when I am listening to the album
  • Top 5:
    Amongst the Waves..!
    Force of Nature
    Gonna See my Friend
    Johnny Guitar (yes!)

    I listened to a 2010 bootleg last weekend - Got Some, Force of Nature and even the damn Fixer sounded good.
  • tbergstbergs Posts: 9,195
    Got Some and Force of Nature are probably my 2 favorite, but I really like the whole album. If not for all the over play and exposure, I'd probably still like Just Breathe more than I do, but it's a good song. I really like Unthought Known, Gonna See My Friend and yes, Johnny Guitar (Watson).

    It's an album I can easily put on and just listen straight through and then repeat. I like it.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Supersonic is totally unique? Mankind called, it wants its music back.

    I was thinking more about the way Ed sings it, it makes it really fun to listen to
