Re: Pearl Jam

LMAO @ Tool. Sorry, I never understood the hooplah over them after Undertow. Opiate is still by far their best work and Aenima and afterwards were all really just rehashed material. I do remember people on this board also stating tht APC doesn't sound like Tool at all. ROFL

Okay, back on topic, I thought Ten was complete shit. The only two albums that I liked, and still do, are Versus and Vitalogy. After that, I gave up. So how would this rate in comparison to their older material?

I can't get the whole tool thing either....but as far as pearl jam is concerned i have had the album since it came out, and haven't stopped listening to it, i love it....i like pearl jam....each album is different...each album bring a little something different to the table...this album bring a bit of everthing...you have a balance of everything from rock to ballad type songs....IMO each album can't be reallly compared to one another because each one has it own sound and diversity....to me its a quality album... from most of the replies - pearl jam is not for everyone though

First of all, damn I must not be reading the threads you post in, cause over 200 posts and I think this is the first time I've seen any of em. Nice to see you around here again.

On to the substance, it's funny you say both of those points. As for tool, I've always loved their depth, but there definately is a bit of rehash in a lot of their newer material. In fact I was thinking this after listening to a number of tracks off the new one. But they've always, at least in my opinion, been able to come to the table with something new and different in a great deal of the tracks.

As for PJ, Vs. and Vitalogy are the albums I'd put this new one in the same category as. For as enjoyable as Ten may have been and still is, I could fully recognize the commercial aspects of that album well beyond anything they've done afterwards. While this one is similar to those albums in strength and power, there are many of their maturing aspects in the new album as well, especially lyrically. Oh and Matt Cameron on the drums does a total mindf^&k a few times, perhaps the best the drums have ever sounded on anything PJ.

Re: Pearl Jam

Matt Cameron fucking rules. I've gotten the chance to see him perform live with Soundgarden and on many guest spots with touring bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins. Nice guy too.
Thanks for the input, ruby. I'll be sure to check out this album one day.

Re: Pearl Jam

I never got the whole Pearl Jam hype.

Caught them years ago on one of their anti-ticketmaster tours and it did nothing for me.

Throw them on top of the U2 heap.

Re: Pearl Jam

I scanned through it and personally I did not care for it. I liked ten & vs after that I thought they went downhill from there.

Re: Pearl Jam

Ten is shit that the homosexuals like. U2 were awesome in the 80s. They up and went shitty around 89.

I kinda agree with the APC = Tool thing, but the rest is pure bullshit.
