Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam return with their 9th studio album “ Backspacer ”. Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone to become the most popular American rock & roll band of the ‘90s. The band has sold in excess of 30 million records in the U.S., and an estimated 60 million albums worldwide. Since its inception, the band’s line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals, guitar), Jeff Ament (bass guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), and Mike McCready (lead guitar). The band’s current drummer is Matt Cameron, formerly of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998. Backspacer is the first studio album since 2006 and on first listen, sounds like old school return to form Pearl Jam circa Riot Act and Ten

Review

Pearl Jam return with their ninth studio record spanning a 20-year career. Teaming up again with Brendon O’Brien, who produced some of their 90s albums, Pearl Jam continue with a strong, up-tempo release that they clearly sink their teeth into.

An irresistible first single, ‘The Fixer’ leads onto other great rockers and ballads and Vedder’s voice, once described as ‘ragged, enraged mongrel’ shines. Unlike the last release, Backspacer took a month to record and as Stone Gossard states, ‘Pearl Jam is much better when we’re not thinking!’ Right on!
