This is where we part ways.

That seems extreme. Nothing on Backspacer is worth ending a friendship over.

How much of a kickback are you getting on this new mix, Stip?

Backspacer - The New Mixes (mp3)

PEARL JAM
=========
Backspacer - The New Mixes
=======================

Gonna See My Friend
Got Some
The Fixer
Just Breathe
Johnny Guitar
Supersonic
Amongst The Waves
Force Of Nature
Speed Of Sound
Unthought Known
The End

Mixes created with stems provided by potzorbie in Reddit:

https://mega.nz/#F!aFlFjZKa!cUugK7gCMHtwDXduiO88Gg



songs with the most notable changes are definitely Got Some and Unthought Known. But really every song feels different, and most are improved. GSMF may be the one exception.


Listening to this now. Yea, Got Some sounded really good.

force of nature, speed of sound and the end are the only decent songs on this hunk of cheese. they all come at the end though, which is far too late after everything the listener has endured it's just not a good enough concession.

Force of Nature is my favorite song from this album, I believe.

Listened to it this morning and maybe wasn't paying close enough attention but it almost sounded like the guitars were removed. I checked my headphone cable or something to make sure it was secure and it was good. I'm going to make a playlist that plays the Omix with the Remix after and see there.

Re: Backspacer: Official Album Thread

I'll be completely honest... I'm probably never going to listen to this new mix or whatever it is.

Re: Backspacer: Official Album Thread

It's excellent, Joey. Just pick a song or two to get a feel for it.

There are a few songs where certain parts are buried to make space for other things. Overall there is a lot more interplay and interesting moments exposed, but it is mildly jarring when something once prominent isn't featured as heavily. Fixer and FoN are two examples of this

I'm sure it is. It's more about laziness. I never listen to music on my computer. I don't have good speakers. I don't want to go through the hassle of downloading it and figuring out how to transfer it to my phone. I already like the album well enough. I don't want to go through all that trouble.

Same, I don't even own a computer at home. My computer at work has decent speakers, but is used primarily for background noise while I work.

I'm hardly ever even on my computer at home unless I'm writing. The music I listen to is either vinyl or through headphones on Spotify, but usually that's on the go. When I'm home it's almost exclusively vinyl.
