Customer Reviews:
Decent, though nothing special	Customer Rating: 3 out of 5
I'm a fairly big Pearl Jam fan, and so when I when I found this cd at a used record store for 5 dollars, I had no problem buying it. The album is mostly fast paced and loud, with little room for anything else. This makes it somewhat of a boring album at times, due to the lack of variation. After giving it a couple of listens, only 2 or 3 songs really stick as being great. The rest of the songs are very typical and don't really do anything for me. The lyrics are relatively bland and the songwriting is very formulaic. The exception to this is the last track, "Inside Job" which is by far my favorite on the album. This song was well written and actually shows that Pearl Jam may be able cover some new ground. The rest of the album on the other hand doesn't present anything new and is full of songs that sound all too familiar. Overall, the album isn't necessarily bad, it's just nothing special.
BEST YET	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
The best band in the world released their best album to date. Every album gets progressively better, as well as different than the last one. This should be the opinion of every die hard Pearl Jam fan. There is no best or worst album, they are all equally great for their own reasons.
PJ #8: Yet another MASTERPIECE, only BETTER this time!!!	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
Ok, so it's been a few years since I've reviewed a PJ album... I've just been busy listening to this brilliant album, trying to find the words to describe the degree of it's AWESOME FACTOR. I won't be fancy, ladies and gentlemen... let's just say it's off the charts, and THEN some. It is the legendary band's answer to all the nay-sayers that claim their music has grown too mellow or "tired" sounding in the last several years. PEARL JAM is THEE most energetic album since YIELD. Period. While their last two LP's were more experimental and laid-back (but still GREAT in my opinion), this one is straight up in your face from beginning to end. Very aggressive, hard, energetic sounds that sort of bring you back to their earlier days... VS and VITALOGY in particular. That being said, the thing that sets this beauty apart from their entire body of work is this: the first 5 songs are HARD rockers to say the least. Not even VS can claim that. I won't go into each song here... just a few of the highlights (although the ENTIRE album is a highlight). Severed Hand begins with a riff and feel not unlike the beginning of Corduroy (VITALOGY), and it really gets the adrenalin pumping like nothing else. Marker In The Sand is one of the most funnest, greatest sing-along songs in the history of Pearl Jam. Big Wave has one purpose: to SHUT the mouths of all those pour souls that claim PJ have become old, tired, and boring. The last two songs are great ballads that are up there with the very best of PJ ballads... Come Back perhaps a great candidate for the "next" Yellow Ledbetter, and Inside Job has just a pinch of Stairway To Heaven's (Led Zeppelin) influence to it, starting off slow then building up to a frenzy. The only thing that may count as filler on this album (but it's damn good filler at that) is Wasted Reprise. Ending this masterpiece is a cool, short little blend of sounds that you feel you've just heard dashed here and there through out the whole album. Overall great sounding album with a ton of energy and expert musicianship backing it. Miss the old, glorious days of the early 90's?? Try this one on for size... you WON'T be sorry.
Simply Amazing!	Customer Rating: 5 out of 5
This is by far one of PJ's best albums. It's a new Pearl Jam. Playing album after album, better and better syncronized. It's simply amazing. I've being a Pearl Jam fan since they were born and even went to sleep at night hearing Ten or Vs. But after No Code I let them down because they weren't the same. Recently I heard one the songs of the album on the radio and decided to give them a chance. Well. I've just listened to the album 3 times in a row. Chapeaux to the band. Don't think twice about getting the album. Just buy it. You will love it.
Artsy, Fresh, and A Catharsis of Somesort	Customer Rating: 4 out of 5
I must be honest, I use to hate Pearl Jam. Not due to their musicianship, but because I was a cliche' Nirvana loyalist. Broadening my music acceptance over the many years since than I can only say, bummer... man did I miss out. Listening to the self entitled "Pearl Jam" album was a fresh well needed self realization, that bands out of their glory days can come back with full throttle. From the garage rocking "Life Wasted" to the long 7 minute soft rocking "Inside Job" this albums contains some of the best music of its genre. With short hard rocking gems "Comatose" and the ever progressing intro to "Severed Hand", you obtain a wide scale of rock music varying in degrees but non the less great and interesting. Classic really holding out the right notes at the right time vocally driven songs like "Unemployable" grab you intently. My pick off the album is "Parachutes" the marriage of vocals and melody is as cohering as ones ability to read a stop sign. Bumping acoustics climbing up pitches and than smoothly descending caught with a rhythmical electric guitar dotting the middle, simply amazing! What may sound like filler at first run through the album is the more artistic songs trying to bud in the presence of radio worthy songs. Overall Pearl Jams 2006 release is a note worthy album, and possibly a come back of the Pearl Jam of the 90's as oppose to some of their bogged down release previously before this one. Do yourself a favor, grab a copy and relax.
