i thought the album was called backspacer after the turtle pj sponsored

Awesome. I always look for clips or quotes from Eddie talking about the songwriting process cause I always want to know what makes him tick. I was fascinated to hear him mention his moments of inspiration during the writing of the songs 'The Fixer' and 'Just Breath'. Cool.

compared to what they've done, as petefader said, it sounds like middle aged soft punk....

@rickdafrog

Brendan O'Brien doesn't write the songs. PJ is responsible for this middle aged, soccer mom record.

Now that i'm 18 i can finally go to concerts without having my mom bitch me out. Can't wait for you guys to come back to Chicago!!!!!

@borski67 ummm what?

[borski67]

Terrible, sounds like douche bag indie rock - are they trying to impress these assholes at Pitchfork? Shitty soundtrack music to a shitty Jennifer Aniston movie.....

@wheelroof3 i didnt care for it much but u have to understand as musicians they have to explore their talents there 20 years strong and still havent dropped off the scence statistically the greatest american rock band

[petefader]

They're not grunge anymore, more like middle aged soft punk. :(

[wheelroof3]

In what sense has he fucked up every band he's produced? Their best albums are the one's he worked on.
