I think it's fine the way it is.

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

I would leave Speed of Sound off. The ballads all sound too similar and on first listen deal with similar material. Speed of Sound is the worst of the bunch. It flows much nicer without the 3rd ballad. If the band was OK with 36 minutes (as am I) then 33 is not that much of a diff.

I haven't heard the album yet, but based on the reviews I've read it seems like The End is the best closing song ever in the history of music....

I'm interested to see if anyone retracks this album with something else closing it, and seriously thinks it works better. Can The End work anywhere else on the album besides... well... the end?

no (the end is good but it isn't THAT good)

So what if we pretended Into the Wild never existed?

And the tracklist for this new one included, I dunno, "Society" and "Long Nights"?

That would be pretty badass, yeah?

Seriously? Waaay too early for this. Have you guys run out of things to say in the album thread or what?

Yes, it is too early. Nevertheless, I'm not going to take it seriously enough to stop me from having a go. Just a couple of alterations...

1. Gonna See My Friend
2. Got Some
3. Supersonic
4. The Fixer
5. Johnny Guitar
6. Just Breathe
7. Unthought Known
8. Force of Nature
9. Speed of Sound
10. Amongst the Waves
11. The End

its good the way it is, except switch force of nature and unthought known

Ensign9 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 12, 2009 5:57 pm

Got Some, without a doubt, should be first. Everything else is fine.

I think one of its biggest strong suits is the tracklisting - flows great.

for them they are never going to top indifference as an album closer. but the end is a pretty magical song.

All or None isn't in the same league as those first 3.

The only change I would make to Backspacer is to add a few favourites from S/T and forget the rest of that album ever existed.

I think it'd be cool if Force of Nature was a little higher up, maybe after Unthought Known. But it flows nicely as is.
