Customer Reviews

Damn stinkin brilliant

Yes, another totally satisfying dose of Pearl Jam... It's just like they're having these days and I'm enjoying the ride. Love Matts drums on this album and the bass tone is wicked! Guitars have reinvented themselves a little this album but most of all this albums song writing is a really big jump forward. It's relaxed and effortless but shows off big big talent... I'm thinking beach boys and elvis costello had a baby and this it what she wrote.

Really

I really dont understand how you can give this album 5 stars,i mean its an ok album,but 5 stars in my book is reserved for classic albums,which this simply isnt......you save 5 stars for albums like, TEN and Nevermind...not backspacer for petes sake. Good album though and,very cool single.......a return to form?????? Compare this to Ten and you aint even close!!

Short, sharp, truly brilliant

I was slightly concerned when I heard the album was only going to be 11 songs and 37 minutes long, but any fears were allayed immediately upon sinking my teeth into this tasty treat. Every song deserves its place here, and it's almost impossible to pick standouts. Amongst The Waves, Unthought Known and Force of Nature are all accessible and stirring mid-tempo instant classics. The punchy rockers, in the form of GSMF, Got Some, The Fixer, Johnny Guitar and Supersonic, grab you from the start and you'll find yourself singing them at inappropriate moments. Just Breathe, SOS and The End are the slower cosier tracks, and complement the harder stuff somehow perfectly. This studio-recorded Got Some is better than the live Conan O'Brien version only because of the clean crisp Eddie vocals and better mix, and the addition of the whole band to Ed's solo demo version of SOS makes for a more rounded and listenable track here. On the whole, this album is a true joy to experience, and one senses that this is a band who are loving making music. Welcome back also to Brendan O'Brien, producer extraordinaire.

Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone to become the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s.

Thanks to future Pearl Jam drummer Jack Irons, the demo found its way to a 25-year-old San Diego surfer named Eddie Vedder, who overdubbed...
