Songs I'm still fairly fond of: Life Wasted (even if just for the bridge), WWS, Severed Hand, Marker, Parachutes, Inside Job (musically, the lyrics are bad), and Gone.
That makes this album a fairly good attempt, for me, except for some truly awful moments which bring it below Backspacer for worst album. Backspacer is an entertaining listen throughout. I'll take that over a spotty album, especially one with Big Wave on it.
I really like Avacado. Unemployable, WWS, Parachutes, Severed Hand, Inside Job (the lyrics may not be great, but dammit, they're not THAT bad). But if I head a gun to my head and had to choose which album to listen to from front to back, it'd be Backspacer.

Parachutes is a good song, but Unemployable is my favorite from Avocado. It has a hint of a narrative to it (i.e. isn't just Eddie singing about being Eddie) and has a nice laid-back classic vibe.

I like the 70's rock vibe it has going on.
Yeah, absolutely. It sounds vintage and well put-together.

I'd like it a lot more if Eddie didn't have that scratchy sheen on his voice.
