Free Music Notes for Pearl JamFree Music Review: PJ #8: Yet another MASTERPIECE, only BETTER this time!!!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.
