All the first part is very behind the beat IMO, what do you think??

What I found beyond my comprehension is how two strangers just hook up after one small ride. Both were desperate for action.

In all seriousness, though, I didn't hear anything behind the beat. Pretty standard sounding stuff to me.

Maybe some from behind action. But no behind the beat action IMO as well.

To me, it sounds like a relax feel but your impression of behind the beat comes from the snare on 2&4 that is played on top of the beat imo.

You are right!! the snare is on top..with a relax feel you meant the bass line is a little behind??

The bass feels like its behind but it ain't. It is played right on the beat but the snare on top of the beat gives the illusion of laid back to me.

+1. I'd agree. The bassist is Mark Andes and he's just playing a simple pedal line on beat but the way the drummer is playing gives it that laid back pocket. It's not pushed at all.

Mark was the bassist in Firefall during their hey day before he joined Heart and I know him from that connection. He's a very tasteful player. You can listen to some of his stuff on their recordings. He does a particularly nice job on Mexcio.
